Swordsman

From Scions of Fate

The swordsman is considered one of the most balanced of the scions of fate having good stats well round, but not excelling in any one area.

[edit] Builds

There are two types of builds for the Swordsman class: dodge or defense. Dodge builds usually revolve around the Swordsman's sword drift ability that increases maximum dodge. Dodge builds often take large amounts of damage per hit but are not hit often. The other type of build is defense. This build will use the swordsman's gear to minimize the amount of damage that is taken by the swordsman. The goal is to take a large number of hits and quickly build up rage giving the swordsman an extended boost to all their stats. Generally creating a defense build costs more money due to more expensive emeralds
