Parry
CounterBlock with your blade at the exact moment of impact to deflect an enemy strike, exposing an opening for an immediate counterattack.
Class · Front-line fighter
“Hold the Line. Break the Enemy.” – raw power and impeccable defense on the front line.
The Warrior holds the line: according to XLGAMES, their raw power rivals their impeccable defense. They carry the legacy of Kyrios, the God of Destruction – before his ascension Jin Evernight, one of the legendary “Shadowhawk Twin Swords” who fought alongside Tahyang. With the longsword they play around timing, parrying and control or the “path of blood”; with the greatsword around endurance and force.
Two paths: timing, parrying and control – or the path of blood through Crimson Surge, spending your own HP and draining it back with every hit.
Block with your blade at the exact moment of impact to deflect an enemy strike, exposing an opening for an immediate counterattack.
Drive your blade deep into the foe, then twist to pull them close, leading to a seamless transition into your next attack.
Spin like a tempest to sweep through all surrounding enemies in one fell swoop.
As you swing your blade, a razor-sharp wave of energy tears through the air to strike even distant foes.
Sacrifice your own blood to enhance consecutive slashes, draining and absorbing HP with each blow.
Endurance and force: the greatsword builds the Resolve resource and withstands attacks with Brace, then unloads it in heavy blows.
Lower your stance and launch forward with explosive force, driving deep into the enemy line.
Detonate accumulated power in an instant, causing your next attack to deal massive damage.
Brandish your Greatsword on high, then slam it down with a fierce crash.
Casting all reason aside, unleash two devastating attacks in succession.
Let out a roar, building Resolve and overwhelming nearby enemies.
Still open: Whether there are more weapons is open: XLGAMES has revealed two per class, but the demo announcement speaks of “two of their weapons” per class. How weapon swapping works and whether you can change class is not known yet either. The Warrior already has two playstyles with the longsword (timing and counters or the path of blood) – three paths in total with the greatsword.
