Wildwalker

Untamed (Male) - Cudgel Fighter - Shapeshifter - Complete Guide

Class Overview

What is the Wildwalker?
The Wildwalker is the newest class of the Untamed race - a exclusively male LA melee fighter with Cudgel who switches between Human Form and Ape Form switches. In human form he is agile with stealth and control abilities. In ape form he dominates Ying/Yang Mark System (Wind, Forest, Fire, Mountain, Ying, Yang) enables powerful burst combos through form switching.
Important features: Wildwalker is excluded from Rank 9 Third Cast and Warsoul Weapon Second Cast. No access to Morai skills or Primal skills. Only one Homestead skill (the Ultimate).
Stat Effect for Wildwalker Priority
STR Phys. damage, LA/Cudgel requirement ★★★★ 1/level
DEX Crit (+1%/20 DEX), Accuracy, Dodge - main damage stat! ★★★★★ 4/level
VIT +14 HP/pt - beginner buffer; gear + Citrin replaces this Beginners only
MAG Only MP - useless for WW Never!

The Shapeshifter System: Human <-> Ape

The two combat forms
- Human FormStrength: Agility, control, stealth, mark generation Key-Skill: Wind Step - sprint with very short cooldown for maximum mobility (officially confirmed: Arc Games A Marks: Generates Wind, Forest, Fire, Mountain,YingandYangMarks Ideal for: Opener, mark setting, Chi farming, AoE grinding, debuffs
- Ape FormStrength: Burst damage, CC, immunity during every skill cast Core feature: ALL Ape skills grant immunity against negative effects during cast - unstoppable in melee Marks: Cosmic Unity (consumes Ying) + Chaotic Breach (consumes Yang) Ideal for: Boss burst, CC, immune damage
Ying/Yang Mark System
The human form sets Marks on enemies (Wind, Forest, Fire, Mountain, Ying, Yang). These are consumed by Ape Form skills for Cosmic Unity + Chaotic Breach combined with Ying/Yang marks.
Set Ying Mark (Human) -> Cosmic Unity (Ape) consumes = burst! Set Yang Mark (Human) -> Chaotic Breach (Ape) consumes = CC + damage!
Officially confirmed (Arc Games Announcement): "fearful control and damage output capability when combining its Cosmic Unity and Chaotic Breach skills with the Ying and Yang marks."

From Level 89. No stat effect.
PvE recommendation: Sage - Better Chi generation (Gathering Cloud) = more frequent Triple Sparks. Longer CC duration (Chaotic Br

Skill Empf. Glyph Warum?
Cosmic Unity Golden +Burst damage on most important mark-consumption skill
Chaotic Breach Sanguine +CC duration = enemy controlled longer after Yang Mark consumption
Gathering Cloud Verdant +Chi = more frequent Triple Sparks
Heavenly Chasm Golden or Argent Golden: more AoE damage; Argent: -cooldown for more frequent grinding

Glyph Lv10: +4 Atk Level + +4 Def Level as bonus stats. Prioritize on Cosmic Unity or Right Punch - strongest

Restat-Guide

Situation From To Timing Warum?
Hybrid → Pure DEX 3 DEX + 1 VIT/level 4 DEX/level Lv70–80 Gear + Citrin replace VIT; Crit boost more important than HP buffer
Endgame free points (Lv101+) Pure DEX More DEX or VIT Lv101+ All req. met - DEX for Crit or VIT for PvP
Pure DEX almost never needs to restat - 1 STR + 4 DEX works from Lv1 to Lv105 without changes.

Important Tips

- Snow Ape Form on hotkey! Put transform on an easily accessible hotkey. Fast form switching is the core feature. +90% speed
- Always keep Ying/Yang marks fresh! Marks have a duration. Rotation: Human -> set Ying + Yang -> immediately Ape -> Cosmic Unity + Chaotic Breach = maximum burst!
- Use Ape immunity actively! All Ape skills = immunity during cast. Use deliberately at boss casting to bypass debuffs.
- No R9 Third Cast - no problem! Direct path to Dragonbreath Weapon (PWpedia recommendation). G16/G17 Cudgel also excellent for endgame
- Amber Shard in endgame! Crit% gems are stronger than pure Phys. Atk for this DEX class once base Crit reaches ~20%
- Triple Spark Timing! Save 300 Chi -> Cloud Eruption Lv1 (Genie) for faster path -> Triple Spark during Cosmic Unity
- Sage PvE / Demon PvP Sage: better Chi gen + longer CC duration = PvE standard. Demon: higher APS through Spark = PvP and APS
- Armor refine replaces VIT! LA + Citrin Lv6+ + armor +5 = 15000-20000 HP without VIT investment. Every VIT point is wasted endgame
