Playable Races Available for This Class
This class specializes in sword combat to deliver a variety of attacks. Using their sword they utilize skills like the "Batto Jutsu" technique to attack or defend against their enemies. Blade Masters are quite good at parrying their enemies blows, leaving them vulnerable to effective counter attacks. They don't always rely on close combat to bring their enemies down, they can use a flying sword technique that will harm their enemies from afar.
The Blade Master is a 'Warrior' class but instead of face tanking like Destroyers, Blade Masters avoid damage by evading or parrying enemy attacks. The Blade Master then responds by attacking his opponents weak points. Blade Masters use the Sword Chi to block or evade melee attacks, or they can also go on the offensive and thrust their opponents with great force.
The difficulty level of the Blade Master is about medium, the control itself is not too hard but timing the Evade or Parry skills could be a bit challenging at times. This class will definitely take some time to master.
Blade Masters use Chi Sword to call forth their abilities. A point is added to the Blade Masters Sword Chi bar every time a combo or special move is used. Depending on how difficult the combo is or how hard the ability hits the more Sword Chi points are consumed. Here's an image of what their status bars (HP/SC/Qing Gong) will look like:

A skill where you deflect your enemy's attack with your sword. If you successfully Parry, your target will be groggy for 3 seconds and won't be able to attack. This skill will enable the Thrust and Kick skills.
You kick your enemy with great force knocking them back. This skill is best used after a successful Parry. You can use Sword Gust on the knocked back enemy to cause them to become unconscious, which will allow you to hit them a bit more. You can also Charge your enemy after using this ability, stunning them for a short moment.
You charge towards you enemy and thrust them. This skill is useful to close a distance between a far away opponent. After you charge, the enemy becomes stunned for a short moment. During the stun if you initiate a Lower slash skill the enemy will be knocked down, which will enable the Stomp and Stab skill.
You immediately evade an enemy's attack. With this skill you can hit the enemy from their weak point. After a successful evade you can use Rising Kick or Kick to initiate a different combo, it is hard to time the evade properly.
Recommended Blade Master Combo
Block -> Kick -> Thrust -> Charge -> Lower Slash -> Stomp -> Stab
This is the basic combo for a Blade Master. You Parry an attack and Kick or Thrust as a follow up. Afterward you Charge at the knocked back enemy, following up with a Lower Slash and finishing it off with a Stomp or Stab.
[Blade Master Tip] Analyze Your Enemy While Fighting.
The Blade Master, compared to other melee characters doesn't have grappling or limb twisting types of skills. Instead they evade an attack and attack the exposed weak spot. Also they have a quick charge that lets them quickly close a far distance between the Blade Master and their enemy. So use it wisely! Instead of doing a mindless slashing attack, it is good to plan your strategy depending on your enemy and killing them. This game requires a little more thought and effort than mindless button mashing.
