Look, reach level 95 in Arthdal Chronicles: Three Factions, and the Igut level achievement gift hands you a level 95 achievement upgrade book gift box. You get to pick one of four hero skills, which naturally leaves newbies starting in New World Season 2 scratching their heads over what to choose. So, which skills should each class actually go for? KookminTree dug into the data to find out.

Q. What should melee classes pick from the level 95 achievement upgrade book gift box?
A. Dash skills are priority number one.

The level 95 achievement upgrade book gift box lets you learn one of the skills matching those marked in the attached image above. These skills can only be obtained from the Hermit's Waterfall, Frozen Blizzard, and Predator's Basin hero party dungeons, making them a nightmare to acquire later on. Their drop rates are abysmal, and the party dungeon shop demands a staggering 500 mileage points for them. Alternatively, you would have to shell out thousands of gems on the exchange. Since you need to prioritize learning those dungeon hero skills for the Halls of Frost clearing, wasting dungeon points and gems here is a bitter pill to swallow. That is precisely why you need to make a careful choice when picking one with the level 95 achievement upgrade book box.

First off, melee classes must absolutely upgrade their dash-line skills to the hero grade. Since these classes kick off early farming by resetting skill cooldowns using passive skills like Continuous Charge, Clash, Flash Strike, Holy Light Dash, and Slash Strike, upgrading them to hero grade is non-negotiable. Listed by class, the warrior gets Charge, the fighter gets Clash, the dual swordsman gets Flash Strike, the paladin gets Holy Light Dash, and the assassin gets Slash Strike. Any other choice is simply not recommended, so make sure to upgrade these skills to hero grade first.

Now, if you got ridiculously lucky and already scored an upgrade book from a party dungeon, the next recommendation varies by class. Usually, it is recommended to upgrade final damage rate skills that heavily impact PvP and boss contribution, such as the fighter's Wrath Release, dual swordsman's Triple Strike, paladin's Heresy Sentence, and assassin's Death Grasp, though opting for survival skills like the dual swordsman's Sword Blessing, paladin's Master of the Holy Sword, or assassin's Life and Death for extra survivability is not a bad backup plan either.

However, for the warrior, the skill recommended to upgrade right after the dash is Shield Toss. Once you learn the hero passive skill Shield Bounce from the Halls of Frost hero party dungeon, hunting with that skill becomes remarkably smooth. Therefore, it is wise to boost Shield Toss to hero grade in advance to prepare for that moment.

[Melee Class Level 95 Achievement Upgrade Book Gift Box Skill Recommendation Ranking]
= Warrior: Charge > Shield Toss > Shield of Valor (for higher damage), Shout of Protection (for higher survivability)
= Fighter: Clash > Wrath Release > Ground Slam > Skull Splitter
= Dual Swordsman: Flash Strike > Triple Strike > Chain Strike (for higher damage), Sword Blessing (for higher survivability)
= Paladin: Holy Light Dash > Heresy Sentence > Master of the Holy Sword > Spinning Slash
= Assassin: Slash Strike > Death Grasp > Life and Death > Sleeve Slit

Q. What should ranged classes pick from the level 95 achievement upgrade book gift box?
A. Recommendations vary depending on the class.

Let us check out the ranged class group next. When focusing purely on farming, the archer is best off with Multi-Shot, which hits multiple enemies. However, that skill boasts a hefty 30-second cooldown and lower damage than expected, meaning raising it to hero grade does not shake up your farming efficiency as much as you would hope.

So, looking at the bigger picture for bosses, PvP, and everything else besides basic farming, you are better off upgrading Mark. In particular, boosting Mark to hero grade slaps the target with a brutal debuff that lowers their final damage rate by a staggering 40% and final critical resistance rate by 18%. If you have already brought Concentrated Shot up to hero grade using the level 95 achievement upgrade book gift box alongside this, you can unleash astronomical burst damage onto enemies.

For the storm wizard, Chain Lightning is the absolute top pick. Upgrading it to hero grade lets you charge and use it up to 3 times, while also scaling up its previously pitiful damage to make farming significantly more comfortable. That said, all other skills here are stellar too, so learning any of them will not spell disaster. Thundercloud which bumps up final damage rate, Headwind which drastically boosts survivability, and Whirlpool which packs a punch as a powerful area-of-effect skill are all solid recommendations.

The priest is quite similar to the archer. While Spear of Light shines when you consider farming and boss fights, raising Sanctuary to hero grade remains the smart play if you want to crank up your healing output given the class identity. Next up, push Restraining Authority to hero grade for increased final damage rate and longer bind duration. Resurrection Prayer offers meager gains upon upgrading, putting it lower on the priority list.

Finally, the dangguri is the hardest class to pin down with a single recommendation. Spirit Explosion takes the crown when you want something versatile for every conceivable situation. Yet, Spirit Dance—which buffs all damage rates, accuracy, and incoming damage reduction rates for the caster and every party member—is tough to pass up. Ghostly Slaughter also drastically increases final damage taken and damage dealt, making it a game-changer for PvP and boss contribution once raised to hero grade. Pick one of the three based on your personal playstyle.

[Ranged Class Level 95 Achievement Upgrade Book Gift Box Skill Recommendation Ranking]
= Archer: Mark (for PvP and bosses), Multi-Shot (for pure farming) > Rapid Shot > Predictive Shot
= Storm Wizard: Chain Lightning > Thundercloud or Whirlpool (if you want higher damage), Headwind (if you want higher survivability)
= Priest: Spear of Light (if you only care about damage scaling), Sanctuary (if you care about healing scaling) > Restraining Authority > Resurrection Prayer
= Dangguri: Spirit Explosion (versatile recommendation), Spirit Dance (party buff), Ghostly Slaughter (for PvP and bosses) > Spirit Manifestation
