At level 60, a Mercenary can promote to a Blade. Known for their overwhelming speed, Blades are masters of dual-wielding, allowing them to strike with a flurry of attacks that few enemies can withstand.
Blades are unique in their ability to use two weapons simultaneously, maximizing their offensive output.
Primary Weapons: One-handed Swords and one-handed Axes.
Dual-Wielding: Blades can equip two one-handed weapons at once.
Shields: A shield may be used, but only when the Blade is not dual-wielding.
The most effective Blades focus on extreme agility and precision to maintain their high-speed combat style.
Primary Stat: DEX (Dexterity)
Effect: Increases Attack Speed, Critical Rate, Accuracy, and Evasion.
Why: Most Blades invest heavily in DEX to become a "blur" on the battlefield, hitting hard and fast while avoiding return fire.
Secondary Stat: STR (Strength)
Effect: Directly increases the raw damage of your strikes.
Why: While DEX provides speed, STR ensures that each of your dual-wielded hits carries maximum power.
Tertiary Stat: STA (Stamina)
Effect: Increases HP and Defense.
Why: Provides a safety net for when evasion fails, though it is often kept low in favor of offensive power.
Many of the Blade's most powerful skills require specific weapon types or dual-wielding to execute.
