| “ | Dual Blades live by one mantra: the best defense is a good offense.
Risking their own lives in combat to keep pushing blade mastery to the limits earned Dual Blades a reputation of being seekers of overwhelming power. Their lightning speed, devastating attacks, and flashy combat are unmatched. Dual Blades can control their difficulty level by focusing on one of two specializations: the Way of the Lotus, which lets them harvest on the energy of harmony to unlock powerful skills; and the Way of the Shifting Blades – one of the most challenging specializations which focuses on cycling through stances with blades changing directions during lighting fast attacks. |

The Dual Blade is a close-combat (melee) class, which martial arts style emanates agility and elegance. Wielding Twin Swords, they aim to push their limits with fluid movement and lightning-speed swordplay. This class is only available to the Jin or Yun race.
While there are no defined roles in Blade & Soul, melee classes are often the "tank" of the party and Dual Blades will have no issues tanking a boss with asset of numerous evade skills, at the same time still providing continuous and high burst attacks.
Specializations[]
Way of the Shifting Blades[]
The Shifting Blades specialization focuses on transitioning between three stances: Skyfang, Skyblade, and Fangblade. Each of them unlocks certain skills and skill combinations to unleash devastating attacks. Unlike other classes, there are little to no cooldowns to switch between stances. This choice caters to those who seek a challenge.
Use Switchblade (LMB) or Switch Strike (LMB) to rotate between the three stances. Certain movement skills also trigger a stance change such as Cut Off (Q) for Skyfang, Cut Through (E) for Skyblade and Backshift (SS) for Fangblade.
Way of the Lotus[]
The Lotus Specialization on the other hand doesn't utilize stances. It is the easier one of the two specializations. If you choose Way of the Lotus, you will need to manage the resource called Petals.
Petals are stacked when Cyclone Slash (F) is used. Blossom (Tab) will also automatically stack 5 Petals. At 3 Petal stacks (or after Blossom is used), the Primordia effect can be triggered (Tab) and it will unlock skills like Wild Fire (V) and enhance other skills.
