Instinct Subclass Overview
Instinct is the only subclass available to Lycans, as confirmed by the English Metin2 Wiki and the official Gameforge class listing. It emphasizes direct melee engagement while offering supportive effects for the whole group. According to the Metin2 Wiki, Lycans are formidable wolf creatures that were once infected by an incurable virus, losing their human forms and mutating into beasts; thanks to their unbridled power and heightened instincts, they make exceptional close-combat fighters who fearlessly seek the front lines.［^2］
