You have the opportunity to make your Gnome with any skills/attribute. There is no right vs wrong on how you apply skills to your Gnome. Each Gnome has the same starting attributes of 0. Remember your Gnome has health and may become tired and become useless in the game for a short period until he/she recovers. Assassin & Combat skills are your “attack” attributes. Manipulation, Intelligence & Willpower skills are your “knowledge” attributes. Awareness & Defense are your “defense” attributes. Speed can come in handy in PVP to be elusive and win under certain circumstances. GNO City will NOT release the PVP algorithm. Your skills come in handy during your battles with other trainers.
