 For race selection, the Human, Orc, Elf, and Gnome all make excellent choices for the Warlord.  Humans and Orcs boost their attack damage, which Warlords desperately want.  With their larger mana pool, an Elf can increase the number of consecutive death protections a Warlord can gain in battle without having to use potions.  The Gnome allows the Warlord to benefit from {{a|COURAGEOUS}} trait from mana potions more frequently, although you will probably want to find a way to increase your maximum mana.
-{{i|Namtar's Ward}} is one great item to prepare, since it gives +50%
+{{i|Namtar's Ward}} is one great item to prepare, since it gives one free death protection per level, which could make a huge difference in possibility of hunting the big foe or not.
 {{s|IMAWAL}}'s 50% XP boost is huge for the Warlord because Warlords love to hunt big foes. {{s|GETINDARE}} is also very nice, though the damage should be carefully calculated as described below.

-Like the human, the {{OrWa}} offers expanded damage output for a class that puts a lot of emphasis on physical attack power.  Orcs will have a stronger early-game than humans, and with proper preparations will continue to outshine them even at high levels.  {{HuWa}} is still viable when playing purist, but only on dungeons which feature a focus on high-level combat (such as [[Naga City]]).  Orcs otherwise revel in the attack bonus boosts from this class.

-The Warlord is one of the most powerful physical combat specialists in the game.  By chaining repeated death protections, the Warlord can edge in up to three extra hits over other classes, taking down monsters powerful enough to be considered untouchable to other classes.  Low hit point monsters such as Gorgons, {{m|Goats}}, and {{m|Warlocks}} are the favoured prey of Warlords, who can level up extremely quickly from defeating higher-level monsters.

 Warlords need to focus heavily on their offensive damage output, relying on {{s|CYDSTEPP}} to protect them from overwhelming enemy attacks.  A Warlord can never have enough attack damage, and due to {{a|DEFIANT}} hit points matter little so long as he can just barely survive one attack.  As a result, using preparations such as the extra attack boosts is a very good idea, and purchasing items such as the {{i|Trisword}} or {{i|Fine Sword}} to boost your base attack are very useful.
