Names as listed in the server's class table; evolutions upgrade the same class and never change it into another one. Realm rules and the /evoquest command

Illusion Knight at a glance

Class values below come from the server's SkillList and ItemList, the realm row from the realm config and the Webzen row from Webzen's press release; the stat row adds our recommendation. The key fact for new players: each class attack skill checks Agility, not Strength.

What does each Illusion Knight evolution unlock?

The stage names come from the server's class table and match the ranking class filter. Webzen uses the same names for the first four stages, and each stage sets the class flag the item and skill files check before gear or a skill can be used.

Type /evoquest in game for the server's fast class upgrade; the rules per realm are on the realm page. The class overview compares every line.

Illusion Knight stat build under the 60,000 cap

In the server's SkillList every Illusion Knight class attack skill is gated on Agility: Charge Slash needs 80, Wind Glaive 650, Illusion Avatar 900 and Blade Storm 1,150. Those thresholds are facts from the file; the build splits below are our recommendation, not tested formulas.

Both realms cap each stat at 60,000 points, so what matters is the order in which you reach the Agility thresholds, not the final split. One rule applies to every build: get Agility to 1,150 first.

Agility burst (PvP / duels)

Keep Agility as your largest stat and put most remaining points into Vitality, so you survive the opening combo that decides many duels and Castle Siege fights.

Balanced farm build (PvE, events)

After 1,150 Agility, move most new points into Strength for blade damage, with enough Vitality to hold a spot between potions while Wind Glaive and Blade Storm clear packs.

First character / first reset build

Play Agility-first until level 400, then add Strength and Vitality before your first /reset. The stat commands:

• /addagi X, /addstr X, /addvit X, /addene X: add X points to one stat
• /addstr auto X: auto-add stat points while you level

Reset and stat rules are on the realm page, and the Illusion Knight build guide plans each step in more detail.

Illusion Knight skills (from the server skill list)

Values from the server's SkillList. Damage is the file's base number before stats, gear and master skills apply, not the damage you will see in game.

You learn them from items: the Illusion Blade Bead (level 25), Charge Slash Bead, Wind Glaive Beads, the Illusion Avatar Bead (Mirage Knight) and the Blade Storm Orb (level 400, Illusion Master).

Shared skills flagged for the class in the same file: Crescent Moon Slash, Cyclone, Plasma Storm (level 110), Stun and Cancel Stun, Swell Mana, Invisibility, Spell of Protection, Restriction and Pursuit, and Shield-Burn.

Master skill tree highlights

From Illusion Master on, the tree adds a Strengthener and a Mastery node for Charge Slash, Wind Glaive, Illusion Avatar and Blade Storm, an Illusion Blade Strengthener with two Mastery ranks, plus Blade Strengthener and Blade Mastery.

Other nodes include Reinforcement of Cloak of Death Defense and Attack, Weapon Block, Steel Armor and Stop Weapon.

At Mystic Knight, Enhancement Skill entries for Charge Slash, Wind Glaive, Blade Storm and Illusion Avatar follow. Node order is in the master skill tree guide; every entry is in the skill database.

Blades, cloaks and sets for the Illusion Knight

Blades (weapons)

Apart from generic starter weapons such as Kris and Short Sword, the item file gives this class Blades only, no spears. Silver and Xeno Blade start the class's own line, Dragon Blade (level 380) needs Mirage Knight, and Blood Blade, Blood Angel (400), Dark Angel (600) and Holy Angel Blade (800) need Illusion Master.

Mystic Knight opens Soul (900), Blue Eye, Silver Heart, Manticore, Brilliant, Apocalypse and Lightning Blade (1,500); Phantom Knight adds Temple Guard (1,500) and Imperial Blade (1,600).

Cloaks (the Illusion Knight's wings)

Cross-class wings flagged for the class: Wings of Growth, Wings of Conqueror, Wings of Angel and Devil (level 350) and Wings of Power (level 750).

Class sets by level

Scale and Iron Plate start the line, then Steel Plate (150), Black Origin, Primal (380), Apex and Blood Angel (400), Dark Angel (600) and Holy Angel (800). Later sets share the blade names and levels above, from Soul (900) to Lightning (1,500), plus Temple Guard (1,500) and Imperial (1,600) for Phantom Knight.

With VIP, the server's Chaos Machine succeeds at 100% for 2nd to 5th wing mixes and 99% for +10 to +15 upgrades; these are VIP rates, not the defaults. Every requirement is in the item database.

Leveling an Illusion Knight on MUOnline.ai (Permanent vs Speed Realm)

Speed Realm tip: the Blood Angel starter set is the level-400 Illusion Master set in the item file, so it equips as soon as you reach Illusion Master at level 400.

A Grand Reset needs 20 resets, level 400 and 50,000,000 zen, with at most 20 Grand Resets per account every 24 hours on each realm.

Spots by level are on the map guide. Blood Castle, Chaos Castle, Devil Square and Illusion Temple add event EXP, and VIP raises their entry limits; times are on the event schedule. Compare realms, then download the client.

Illusion Knight PvP matchups (our rating)

This is MUOnline.ai's bonus-damage table, a rating kept on this site rather than game-file data. We rate the Illusion Knight strong against the Alchemist and Crusader, and weak against the Light Wizard and Lemuria Mage.

A typical engage: cast Illusion Blade, close in with Charge Slash, keep pressure with Illusion Avatar and switch to Blade Storm when several players group up. Castle Siege on this server lasts 60 minutes, Saturday 21:00-22:00 UTC; check the event schedule. Compare the Dark Knight if you want another melee class.

Is the 2026 Illusion Knight renewal on this server?

No. On 21 April 2026 Webzen Korea renewed five classes, the Illusion Knight among them, adding exclusive weapons and set-bonus effects. Webzen's global game is on Season 21-1 Part 3 (1 September 2026), and no global Illusion Knight renewal has shipped there.

MUOnline.ai runs Season 21 Part 3 server files. The renewal is not in those files, so the class plays as documented on this page.
