Mew's Sheep Guide
General Info
Hiya, I'm Mewzie, or as I'm known on my sheeps, Persephone and Claire. This is a guide to sheep, or probably my favourite character in the game, and in my opinion, the most versatile and cost-effective farmer, bosser, and over-all swiss army knife. This guide will cover PvE, PvP (coming soon!), Gears, and Builds.
PLEASE NOTE: I WILL ONLY BE COVERING LIGHT ELEMENT IN THIS GUIDE, I DO NOT HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH DARK (yet)
About Each Third Job (Need to Know Before Starting!)
Witch
Light Witch is a simple build and most apt for beginners/free-to-players. She uses only MA in its build, and at third job, gets a special self-regenerating shield that blocks a TON of damage. This class is more of the swiss army knife for a singular grind character, in my opinion.
Areas you will easily excel at:
- Grinding
- PvE
- PvP
- Chaos Tower (scaling)
- Funding gear
- Getting hit in general
Areas you will struggle with:
- Bossing
- Fading Tower
- Harkon Defense (Elec and potentially wind only)
- Chaos Tower (bossing)
- Powerleveling
Soulmaster
Soulmaster is a very expensive build, but she is built to be powerful and for DPS. She is a machine that pumps out a good portion of what you put into her, but requires very expensive gear to maintain, and multiple stats to balance (MA, LK, HP, DP) for PvE. However, that being said, she is amazing for wind sheep armies, especially those that utilize blessings, and Catastrophic Fen is a great powerleveling skill. I do not recommend this for free-to-players, though, unless you have other characters that you are willing to grind to help fund/carry her with until she is powerful enough to stand on her own two feet without getting knocked down.

Builds
This is unfortunately where you have to decide your third job to some degree.
- Witch -> You don't need to worry about charm much. It will help a little in the beginning, but in third job, you get Shield of Heaven (SoH), which is basically a 100k+ HP self-recovering shield. You do not need AP.
Recommendations: 1441, 1432
- Soulmaster -> She is very squishy, especially without a good shield. But, she is more consistently powerful than Witch.
Recommendations: 1432, 1423, 1441 (PvP only)
Don't know? 1432 works for both.
First Job
First job is difficult on Sheep. Definitely pick up Mana Arrow and Arrow Rush. I went by without Mana Ring + Booster, but depending on how desperate you are/how much TM points you have, you may want to invest in it. However, sheep uses a LOT of skill points early on. I also don't recommend you rush to +10 your skills, as they can be very MP-hungry quickly. Test and scale them to the area.
First Job Skills
- Magical Soul -> Also known as Bubble, this is your starting skill and a really good single-target skill if you build for it. Not recommended for bossing, only quick farming and PvP, and primarily for Witches. AP/MA based skill
- Mana Arrow -> Useful for Eternal penguins, single-target hunting, and enemies with Guard. MUST INCLUDE ARROW RUSH LATER!!!
- Cure -> MUST HAVE. Saves you SOOOOO many potions. GET GET GET!
- Invincible Casting -> MUST HAVE. Keeps you from cancelling your skills when you get hit.
- Bottle of Mana -> This is a dependency for another skill later. I don't recommend dumping points into this early on, as sheep needs a LOT of skill points early game.
- Aura of Mana (PvE only) ->Helps recover MP quicker. Useful.
- Mana Storm (Wind only) -> Prereq. for Whirlwind
- Rust (PvP only, mostly) -> Lowers AP of target; useful against other Bubble builds, powers, and anyone else utilizing AP. Does not affect some bosses.
- Mist of Mana -> MUST HAVE! Buffs your MA by 2x!!!! Amazing!!!
- Arrow Rush -> PREREQ: Mana Arrow. Useful for Eternal penguins, single-target hunting, and enemies with Guard.
- Mana Shield -> Prereq. for Light Shield and Blessings
Second Job
This is where you pick your element.
There are a few element combos that are meta. These are the pros and cons of each.
About Each Meta Elemental Pair
Wind+Earth (PvE Only)
- Fast Grinder
- Great for plvl
- Amazing for farming
- Best as SM due to double Fen. Not great as Witch.
- Doesn't do much damage
- Requires strict investment to do major damage (i.e. OHKO CT62)
- Cannot Boss
- SM ONLY: Can HD with enough stats
Water+Elec
- Decently Fast Grinder (Slowest out of all sheep but still very fast)
- Great for farming
- Amazing for bossing
- Can go witch or SM, easily
- Does the most damage out of all sheep types
- Least investment to do optimal damage

Fire+Elec
- Good Grinder
- Great for farming
- Can boss with high investment
- Best as SM due to Fen+Raion's Space
- Largest AoEs for all sheep
- Requires strict investment to do major damage (i.e. farm CT62)

- SM ONLY: Can debuff Custom Event Bosses such as Janus for Tokens using Raion's Space for Flaming Fist Champions
Fire+Earth (PvE only)
- I do not know that much about this build, as it was given to me by Yuragi and I have not tested it yet
- Theoretically not a good bosser
- Really good farmer
- Really good plvler
- ONLY SM due to double Fen+Blessings
- Requires strict investment to do major damage
- Unsure if can do HD, possibly
I do not recommend any other variations at this time.
