Blade Master

The Blade Master is one of the Classes in Blade & Soul.

Blade Master (not to be confused with Blade Dancer) is a "Warrior" class that specializes in sword combat to deliver a variety of attacks. Blade Masters do not have high static defense but are adept at parrying and evading their enemies' blows and then following up with counter attacks. Blade Master can also go on the offensive with their Draw stance to inflict quick and powerful blows. As far as range, Blade Masters can use Flying Sword techniques that will harm their enemies from afar.

Races
This class has race limitations and can only be played with the following races: the Jin and the Yun.

Resource Mechanic
As with most classes, Blade Masters use a resource mechanic called "Focus" to call forth their abilities and combos. A point is added to the Blade Master's Focus bar every time a basic combo or move is used. The larger, more complicated moves will require a certain amount of Focus points to perform and will consume the Focus points upon use. Additionally, Blade Masters are known for their high Focus regeneration, which may be seen through the mechanic of Cyclone.
