Introduction
Wardancer is a high mobility class with skills like Lightning Kick. This skill has low Cooldown and increases the overall travelling speed during the leveling phase. She lacks Area of Effect skills, but makes up for it with the high damage single target skills Moon Flash Kick and Sweeping Kick.
During the leveling process, focus on equipping the highest Item Level gear while prioritizing the Crit and Specialization Combat Stats to increase your damage and clear speed. To level quickly, focus on doing Main Story Quest with some exceptions.
For a walk-through of the leveling quests, check out the Leveling Guide.
Skill Point Allocation
Allocate Skill Points to gain Skill Tree for your most powerful Skills. Below are the notable Character Levels to obtain the most important Skill Tree. Left over points can be spent on secondary Skills of your choice. Make sure you reallocate those points into the main Skills when needed.
Check the Skill Point Guide for more details.
