Unleash your blade!
Â
Welcome to the Swordsman Gameplay Update, where we’ll be covering the exciting and action packed remake of the Swordsman Class. With exciting new skills, mechanics and playstyle, the adventure begins anew for those who have played Swordsman before, or have been interested in the class but were held back by its poor design and gameplay. You’ll be able to choose between crushing your enemies with overwhelming force or assassinating them with perfect execution – the mind is the limit. This remake is very comprehensive, spanning everything from early leveling experience to late game Monster and Player combat, as well as item synergies and item revamps to enable you to play according to your desired playstyle. Whilst there will be the introduction of physical vs energy based swords, we will also include some balanced swords for those who wish to play everything. Without further delay, we present to you the Swordsman Update!.
Set your sword ablaze!
The focus of this remake is to allow the Swordsman class to embrace an identity correspondent to its’ intended playstyle. Whether you enjoy a swift assassin, a bloodthirsty brawler or an energy crusader, all options will now be open to you with the complete remake of all Swordsman’s skills, passives and traits to allow for smoother, more engaging and ultimately – a rewarding gameplay.
