Blade Dancer is the third class available in the Melee DPS class branch, and focuses on using one-handed swords. Blade Dancers use a multitude of powerful hypnotizing abilities, swift cuts, and offensive and defensive buffs to aid in defeating enemies.
Beneath the Blade Dancer's glittery, ribboned exterior is an extremely ferocious fighter. You'll need the Blade Dancer in top form to take on Eden's final dungeons and NPCs. Wielding sharpened twin swords, the Blade dancer excels at multiple target attacks, swiftly damaging all nearby enemies in a shiny, hypnotic blur.
