I'll leave it in spoiler form since blocks of texts might put people off. :P
Only just realised you're in JST then Takaya. Playing the JP servers might be even better. I wouldn't mind playing there if given the chance since they have the all powerful Code Battle Seraph which is the only class that rivals Lord Knight and being the class that won the 11th Korean Elsword tournament. Eve>Code Architecture>Code Battle Seraph if you plan to do so. >:3
Hmm~ I see. I'd say Aisha is pretty hard to use since she doesn't have much to use (when compared to characters like Elsword, Rena or Raven). Which class are you working towards? Elemental Master is currently the worst out of the second job changes with Void Princess at top and Dimension Witch behind. Dimension Witch has yet to be released though so this class is limited only to it's first job change.
The planning of the build is indeed deemed important. I looked up guides and videos before playing this game since I dislike the idea of going really far into the game and finding out later on that I've messed up my build (which then in turn makes me want to either play a different game or make a new character). Usually before I make a character I check them up on the elsword forums then use a skill build simulator to see what skills I can get on certain levels and then come back to get the remaining on higher levels.

Latency is a huge issue that causes many players overseas to just play the game on solo and forget about the PvP aspect of the game. PvP I wouldn't recommend doing until you get around level 50 with adequate gear. Even then it still might be difficult since the pairing in Elsword is quite horrible and you could find yourself being paired with a player who's 10-20 levels above you, or just a level 60 which would be the worst type of opponent to face against as they could defeat you with one combo/skill. Unfortunately, there isn't a single character that is unaffected by lag/latency issues which mean lag will affect both players, but the weaker of the two will most definitely be the one who's more affected by the lag since they have to worry about not getting hit at all. I'd recommend learning the different types of movement in Elsword as it's fundamental towards your gameplay (faster dungeon clearing and avoiding of players much easier while being able to counter back). This will eat into a lot of your time so only do this when you have time of course, or spend a good few minutes after logging in to practise. The most common type of movement to learn first is the 'Spring Step'. It differs between characters. Look up videos for this since it's easier than having me explain it.
Normally I spend about 1-30 minutes in the training room after I log in so that my play doesn't become groggy.
I generally dislike the 'first come first serve' option of loots in Elsword but I hate randomisation even more when I don't get an item I've been farming for a few days and someone in the party just reluctantly gets in when they join me. Usually I leave the loot on default. The only times I ever change it to manual pick-up is when I'm helping friends or when I have the consent of the party.
Either Rena>Grand Archer, or Chung>Iron Paladin/Deadly Chaser.
-With Rena, you'll find that you might have to use mana potions a lot if you want to stay with a ranged game as each arrow she fires costs 5mp (and only upon hitting a target will you get your mp back).
-Chung is the only character in the game that uses an ammo system where he can fire shells depending on how he's stocked up. Some of his skills use either just mana or a mix of mana and ammo. Once you've built enough awakening (sometimes referred to as Orbs) you can go into a special awakening mode. For Chung, he has an infinite supply of ammo for the duration that it lasts. He's the physical based ranged character whereas Rena is magic based. Depending on the characters, you might want to max either 3 or 4 of the basic trainings. Characters like Elsword as a Lord Knight or Raven as a Blade Master have 1 or 2 M.Atk skill so Basic Magic Training isn't needed at max. Here's a skill build I'd recommend for Rena:

About Elsword: That is indeed the skill I was referring to. Running is the right choice since he covers too much range. The move lasts for a good 25/30 seconds or at level 5. As an Aisha, your best bet would be to just either use X or >>^X(not sure if this is the one that lets her shoot fireballs horizontally in the air) or teleport. I would use the latter but without teleport's skill note, you aren't given the chance to use it consecutively. You could also use Drain to make up for lost HP/MP as the range on this is as long as your fireball range but instead covers a whole radius.

Only just realised you're in JST then Takaya. Playing the JP servers might be even better. I wouldn't mind playing there if given the chance since they have the all powerful Code Battle Seraph which is the only class that rivals Lord Knight and being the class that won the 11th Korean Elsword tournament. Eve>Code Architecture>Code Battle Seraph if you plan to do so. >:3
