System Requirements

To play Dekaron SEA in your own computer, you need a PC with a processor of at least 800 megahertz or better in speed and running on Windows 98, ME, XP, or Vista. Nowadays, that is definitely no problem, along with a minimum of 256 megabytes of RAM. Your graphics card should at least have 3D rendering capabilities, which is satisfied by an NVIDIA GeForce FX or ATI Radeon with at least 128 megabytes of video RAM. Anything newer than that is definitely better. DirectX 9.0c is mandatory with the installation, which is not a problem with a dedicated gaming PC.

Character Types

As with any kind of MMORPG, Dekaron SEA will have you creating a character. Upon logging in with your username and password, you will have around six classes to choose from - Azure Knight, Bagi Warrior, Incar Magician, Segita Hunter, Segnale, and Vicious Summoner. Each has its own strengths and weaknesses that can fit a particular playing style. If you are someone who just forgets about everything else and charges head-first into battle, then an Azure Knight or a Bagi Warrior can fit your style. If you are more about using magic, then an Incar Magician or a Vicious Summoner may be a better choice. Each character type offers a different gaming experience.

Attributes

Once you have created your character, the first thing you need to attend to is leveling up. As you level up your character, its attributes are a crucial factor to development. A character has four basic attributes - Strength, Dexterity, Heal, and Spirit. These attributes will determine how strong your character is, depending on its type. For example, an Azure Knight would want to have more Strength, since it is a melee character. On the other hand, an Incar Magician would require more Spirit since it uses magic spells.

Basic Builds

Builds are basically how you distribute your stats and skills to make the most out of the strengths of your character. Each build type for a specific character will have its advantages and disadvantages, so it is best to choose one that fits your needs. Remember that a build for PvE (Player versus Enemy) would be different from one made for PvP (Player versus Player).

Having a planned build upon character creation will give you an advantage as your character gains more and more levels. Visiting the forums and dedicated websites for info can give you an idea on the best build and strategy for your goals. In Dekaron SEA, just like in any other MMORPG, distributing your character's stats too evenly will only make it weak against more specialized characters. The best thing to do is to decide on which stats you should concentrate on and stick to them.

Always remember that once you've set on going for a certain build, it is nearly disastrous to change it. That is why you should choose carefully before you do anything. In Dekaron SEA, planning is a crucial part of the gaming experience.
