Class Introduction

Swordsman

The front line — heavy armour, high stamina and a blade that holds the middle of any fight.

Engagement
Close to mid range
Branches
3 build paths
Sword Blade Energy Sword

Overview

The class formed with students who are trying to cultivate their mind and body through swordsmanship. They cannot fully prove their powers without a sword, but with one equipped they are strong melee fighters.

They have strong stamina and attack power, and the skill tree branches with the weapon: the sword, the blade and the energy sword each lead somewhere different.

What It Is For

Read from the skill kit
Power 72 Speed 57 Control 79 Recovery 59 Defense 100
Leans Defense. Each axis is scored against the strongest class, which reads 100.
Swordsman role profile
Axis vs. best of kit
Power 72 46.4%
Speed 57 8.2%
Control 79 19.3%
Recovery 59 4.9%
Defense 100 19.8%

The only class built to be hit, and the only one that tops Defense. Everything else about it is deliberately unremarkable — the slowest kit in the school, middling on every other axis — because the job is to still be standing at the end, not to win the exchange. Bring one when the fight has to be held somewhere.

Build Paths

Pick one stat and the weapon follows
POW

Blade

Raw strength routed through the heavier blade, which is the only weapon that can carry that much power.

DEX

Sword

Lighter but no weaker, the sword rewards attack speed and the agility to keep the pressure on.

INT

Energy Sword

Combines both aspects and unlocks the exclusive skills no other swordsman branch can learn.
