Machina is released in Dragon Nest KR on 17th June 2015. Machina is a pure physical attack melee class; STR and AGI stats increase her attack power. The 1st job advance is called Patrona, while the 2nd job advances branches to the offensive Ruina and the defensive Defensio.
The main weapon for Machina is steam-powered Knuckle Gear and Claw. The characteristic for Machina is face-paced action combat, and requires high degree of skill to control it. Machina can combine the various movement skills and steam (generated from her Knuckle Gear) to generate complicated combo.
The following brief descriptions on Machina’s skills are translated from the developer’s note on the official site. Detailed skill descriptions and data will be updated soon.
<1> Normal Attack
The mechanics for Machina’s normal attack is totally different from other classes.
1. Although the attack AOE is very small, the damage is very high
Machina’s “Normal attack” has very small AOE and thus requires more delicate control. However, the damage is twice as high as other classes.

2. Normal attack can be combo-chained after skills
After casting other skills, press “Normal attack” button to chain normal attack in the most natural way. Using normal attack in this manner will inherit the high damage from the previous skill.

Use “Charging Gear” and “Over Charging” to enchance Normal Attack
- After learning Charging Gear, Machina can perform a charging attack at the 5th hit of Normal Attack.
- Although the charging time with Charging Gear is longer, it can deal massive damage to the enemies.
- Upon job change to Ruina at level 45, Over Charging can be learned. The combo of Main DPS Skills > Normal Attack > Over Charging can deal extremely high damage, at the expense of long charging time.
- Machina’s normal attack is very different from other classes; it can be considered as an extension to other skills. It will allow players to form long combo chain between normal attack and other skills.

<2> Fly By
Fly By is the basic movement skill for Machina. It is also the core skills for Lv1-15. It can be activated by Tumbling + Jump. To exploit the mobility of Machina, one have to master the combo involving Fly By.
Rocket Charging: Fly By > Normal Attack
- after breaking and landing, charge up for the next jump
- if you release the normal attack after charging up, Fly By CD will be reset and can be used to jump again.
- in other words, after learning Rocket Charging, Machina can use Fly By without CD.

Overlap Graze : passive effect; when Fly By hit enemies for 3 times, increase your own attack and defence.
- Fly By can be use infinitely with the CD reset effect of Rocket Charging.
- After learning Overlap Graze, Fly By will not just function as a movement skill, but also a skill which grants buff effect. Using Fly By continuously increases the damage output of Machina.

Lariat: Fly By > Special attack button
- Machina use the Knuckle Gear to push enemies and gather them together.
- Lariat is the skill with the highest super armor break and highest damage below Lv15.

<3> Command Enhancement
After the 1st job advance, Command Enhancement mechanics will be added to Machina’s main skills.
Before Command Enhancement can be applied, you will need to know about “Gear Step”.
Gear Step consist of 3 actives movement skills:
Foot Stomping: Stun surrounding enemies and charge forward
Step Up: Kick enemies up with both legs
Rock Away: Evade backwards while pull enemies in the same direction.
These 3 Gear Step can be chained with mouse click. After casting these skills, mouse click can be used to trigger other main skills, which grants additional 50% damage. This mechanic is called “Command Enhancement”.
DuckThese 3 machine steps have their own CD. However, if you use “Duck” after the 3 skills, the CD for these Machine Step skills will be reset, meaning:
Machine Step 1 > Machine Step 2 > Machine Step 3 > Duck > CD of Machine Step reset.
“Steam Release” (to be introduced later) can be used to reset the CD of Duck. By perfecting the combo of Machine Steps and Command Enhancement, Machina can out-damage all other DPS classes.
<4> Use of Steam
Steam can be accumulated up to 30. Agility stats will be boosted according to the amount of Steam stacked.
Consume all 30 Steam for Steam Release to enhance your own ability significantly for a short duration; you can perform Steam Release up to 3 times.
Obtaining Steam
1. Overclock : before Lv65
- can be used to accumulate Steam continuously; however, you are vulnerable while doing so; it is best to perform this before you start the battle.

Air Shoving: Defensio’s active guard skill
- Jump up at the moment when the enemy strikes to guard again the attack. Upon successful guarding, generate Recovery Air Current to heal party members’ HP.
- In other words, the more enemy attack and Defensio manages to guard against them with Air Shoving, the more Recovery Air Current can be generated to heal the party.
