MU Online Grow Lancer – Skills, Lances, Stats & Guide

The Grow Lancer is the only class in MU Online who fights with a lance, and she owns the category outright — 23 of the game’s 36 spears are hers alone. She is also the class that learns the most from scrolls: nine of her abilities arrive as consumable items rather than from a trainer, more than any other character in the game.

How the Grow Lancer Looks at Every Evolution

The base character model at each class change, rendered from the game client’s own player files — no armour equipped, so you can see exactly what the evolution itself changes.

Story

The Grow Lancer arrived late to MU and brought a weapon nobody else uses. Where the Blade Knight hacks and the Elf shoots, she keeps a lance between herself and the fight — reach as defence. The class fantasy is a disciplined duellist rather than a berserker, and the file data agrees: she is the only class we have documented who has every equipment slot open, shield included, and whose master tree spends points on two separate shield systems.

The scroll mechanic fits the same idea. She is not taught by an order; she reads. Spin Step, Obsidian, Magic Pin, Harsh Strike, Shining Peak, Wrath and Breche all come off parchments, and Oversting and Wild Breath follow at 3rd class.

Stats & Class Line

The class-quest level gates come from Common.ini and are shared across all classes: 400 for 3rd, 800 for 4th, 1,200 for 5th.

Nine Skills From Scrolls

Almost half her kit is bought and read rather than trained. Each of these is flagged Grow Lancer only in the item files:

All Grow Lancer Skills – Level, Cost, Range & Role

Pulled directly from the server skill table (Season 21 files), in unlock order: every skill the Grow Lancer line can learn from creation to 5th class, and what it is for. Lv is the character level, Req the stat gate, AG the ability-gauge cost, Range in tiles, CD cooldown (buff duration in brackets). Shared utility (Stun, Swell Mana, Invisibility, the Crywolf spells) and master-tree skills are not repeated here.

The Dual-Stat Gates

Most classes gate a skill behind one stat. The Grow Lancer gates several behind two at once, and one behind a very large single number:

Meanwhile Obsidian at level 74 wants 200 Energy from a class that otherwise never touches the stat, and Breche at level 300 wants 300 of both Strength and Agility. Her stat sheet is genuinely the most demanding of the classes we have documented.

Grow Lancer Master Skill Tree

69 nodes. Most cap at 20; Harsh Strike Mastery, Breche Mastery, Magic Pin Mastery and Burst cap at 10 and require 10 points already spent in their parent.

Grow Lancer exclusives

Shared blocks

The usual survivability set — three Durability Reduction stages, Defense Increase, Defense Success Rate, Steel Armor, Protection Shield, Vengeance, Armor Set Bonus, Maximum Life, Max HP Boost and the SD nodes — plus the standard offense block of Minimum/Maximum Attack Power, Attack Rate, critical, excellent and double damage rates, ignore-defense chance, Absorb Life and SD Absorption.

Grow Lancer 4th Master Skill Tree (Season 20+)

The Season 20 4th skill tree replaced the old passive master tree with skill-specific branches. The Grow Lancer gets 5 branches holding 5 Enhancement Skills — Breche Mastery, Magic Pin Mastery, Shining Peak Strengthener, Oversting Strengthener, Wild Breath Strengthener — each built around an Enhancement Skill (a boosted version of the base skill) with link nodes that modify it, a debuff proc (a magic circle that spawns on hit) and passives that upgrade the debuff. Group 6 holds the shared finishing skills Poison Storm, Frozen Slayer, Bloodying Hit. Points come from master levels; every node lists its cap and what it needs unlocked first. Text is the client tooltip with the per-point value shown as N.

Branch 1 – Breche Mastery

Branch 2 – Magic Pin Mastery

Branch 3 – Shining Peak Strengthener

Branch 4 – Oversting Strengthener

Branch 5 – Wild Breath Strengthener

Group 6 – finishing skills

The Lance Ladder

Lances are hers alone. Attack speed locks to 40 across the whole mastery ladder, so every tier is a pure damage upgrade. The Combat Power column is the item’s CP rating from the files — it is the number that jumps hardest at the top.

Before mastery

Early Sets – What to Wear Before 400

Her own armour below the mastery tiers, worn on the character. Five pieces each — she has no closed slots.

Grow Lancer Set Ladder – Every Tier Worn

All twelve mastery tiers composited onto the character from the client’s own model files — ten mastery grades and the two Legendary sets, five pieces each.

The same ladder as numbers, all five slots:

Grow Lancer Ancient Sets

Every ancient set the Grow Lancer can wear, read from the server’s set files. Ancient items look exactly like their base set (an ancient Dragon Helm is still a Dragon Helm), so each card shows the base armour worn. Options unlock one at a time as you equip more pieces of the same set; the full-set bonus needs every piece, including any weapon, shield, ring or pendant that belongs to it.

Ancient items also carry a hidden stat bonus by tier (Tier I +5, Tier II +10 to the set’s stat) and can only be obtained from the Illusion Temple, Blood Castle, Chaos Castle and boss drops.

Cloaks – She Does Not Wear Wings

Her back slot takes a cloak, and the master tree treats it as offensive equipment through Cloak of Transcendence Attack PowUp alongside the defensive node.

A Small Cloak of Limit is available from level 1 as the starter item.

How to Play the Grow Lancer

Her stat sheet is the most demanding in the game, so the build question is really which requirements you are willing to pay for.

1. Dual-stat duellist — the standard build

Strength and Agility in rough balance, enough of each to clear 200/200 for Magic Pin and Wrath, then 300/300 for Breche at level 300. Skip Shining Peak entirely — its 600 Strength requirement does not pay for itself when Breche does 230 damage for 15 mana. This is the build most Grow Lancers should run.

2. Strength-heavy, Shining Peak included

If you want Shining Peak you commit to 600 Strength by level 92, which means neglecting Agility and delaying Magic Pin and Wrath. Viable, but you are paying a great deal for a 50-damage skill. Only worth it if your server has modified the numbers.

3. Shield front-liner

The build the master tree is quietly designed for. Take Shield PowUp, Shield Mastery, Circle Shield PowUp and Circle Shield Mastery — 80 points across two shield systems — plus Increases Retaliation DMG and Increases Rage DMG, which exist in no other class tree. Pair with the Defense Success Rate block and she holds a line properly.

FAQ

How many Grow Lancer skills come from scrolls?

Nine — tied with the Rage Fighter, and behind the Dark Lord’s 10 and the Summoner’s 15. Spin Step, Obsidian, Magic Pin, Harsh Strike, Shining Peak, Wrath and Breche are all taught by scrolls in the base class, and Oversting and Wild Breath follow at 3rd class. Reaching the level does nothing on its own.

What stats does a Grow Lancer need?

Strength and Agility together. Magic Pin at level 30 and Wrath at 66 both need 200 of each, and Breche at level 300 needs 300 of each. She is the only class we have documented whose skills carry dual-stat requirements. Obsidian also wants 200 Energy, a stat she otherwise ignores.

Is Shining Peak worth taking?

Usually not. It needs 600 Strength at level 92 and only does 50 damage. Getting there means neglecting Agility, which then locks you out of Magic Pin and Wrath at 200/200 and Breche at 300/300. Most Grow Lancers are better skipping it.

Oversting or Wild Breath?

Oversting. Both unlock at level 300, both do 320 damage at range 6, but Oversting costs 25 mana and 12 AG against Wild Breath's 35 and 18. That is 40% more mana and 50% more stamina for identical output.

What is the Grow Lancer's most efficient skill?

Breche. It does 230 damage for only 15 mana and 6 AG, which beats everything else in the list per point spent. Harsh Strike and Spin Step are also worth knowing about because both cost zero AG, making them free fillers when stamina runs low.

Does the Grow Lancer use a shield?

Yes, and more than most. 24 shields are available to her with 19 exclusive, and her master tree has four dedicated nodes across two systems: Shield PowUp and Shield Mastery for the equipped shield, plus Circle Shield PowUp and Circle Shield Mastery for the Circle Shield skill she learns at level 220.

Does the Grow Lancer wear wings?

No, cloaks. Small Cloak of Limit from level 1, Cloak of Limit at 180, Cloak of Transcendence at 400, Eternity Cloak at 800 and Cloak of Discipline at 1,200. The master tree has Cloak of Transcendence Attack PowUp and Defense PowUp at 20 points each.

What weapon does the Grow Lancer use?

Lances. 23 of the game's 36 spears are flagged for her and no one else, so she effectively owns the category. Attack speed is locked at 40 across the entire mastery ladder, meaning every tier is a straight damage upgrade with no speed trade-off.

What is the best Grow Lancer lance?

Imperial Lance at level 1,600 - 666 to 693 damage with 391 Combat Power. Combat Power is where the Legendary lances separate themselves: every mastery step adds a flat 20 CP, then Lightning to Temple Guard adds 96 and Temple Guard to Imperial adds another 73.

Which early lance should I use?

Lapid Lance. It does 32-41 at attack speed 40 for only 66 Strength and 75 Agility, the lowest requirements of any lance in the game. The Vis Lance does three times the damage but demands 682 Strength at a slower speed of 35.

What is the best Grow Lancer set?

Imperial Lancer at level 1,600, 2,610 defense across five pieces. Every mastery step from Awakening Soul upward adds exactly 225 defense, then Lightning to Temple Guard jumps 340 - the single biggest armour upgrade she can make.

Is the first mastery set an upgrade?

Not in raw defense. Constant at level 400 gives 231 total across five pieces; Bloodangel Lancer gives 208. Take Bloodangel for its mastery option slots and the upgrade path rather than the armour value.
