Oath: Saintsworn

==Description==
Oath: Saintsworn is an Oath relating to the usage of multiple attunements, and Hero's Blades. It allows you to harness the power of the souls of the Five Heroes and wield their abilities in combat with their souls watching over your strife.
The Five Heroes were considered to be the Saints of their respective attunements back in times of old. Wishing to carry on their legacy after they met their fate, they would make a Vow to infuse their souls into swords after their demise, turning into Hero Blades. The player, upon swearing the Oath, vows to carry on their legacy with the Heroes themselves watching over them.
===Obtainment===
Saintsworn obtainment requires 20 investment points in the following attunements: Flamecharm, Galebreathe, Shadowcast, Frostdraw, and Thundercall.
After acquiring the needed stats, you then need to resonate (interact with) every obelisk. Left or middle click the gifs to enlarge them. The obelisks can be interacted with in any order, the most time effective method as of now appears to be Shadowcast -> Thundercall -> Flamecharm -> Frostdraw -> Galebreathe, however this can do with refinement.
Saintsworn cannot be reobtained if you Oathbreak it.
==== Thundercall ====
* For the Thundercall obelisk, you need to sail over to the Boatman's Watch, and go behind it into a cave and talk to Tessa.

*Saintsworn CANNOT be obtained with 100 points in a singular attunement, you need at least 20 points in an attunement to resonate with their respective obelisk- in other words, you need 20 points in the 5 different attunements. It is NOT a combined requirement.
**Additionally, you do not need a Hero Blade equipped to obtain this Oath.
**This may be a bug but as of now you can get saintsworn without meeting the requirements for as long as you have spoken with the obelisk's before hand (E.G. 30 flame talk with the Obelisk and then shrine down to 18 Flame) (Have tested. Is Confirmed)
==Progression==
To progress Saintsworn, you need to complete World Events. (The Doom of Caeranthil, Interluminary Parasol, and Carnival of Hearts)
With the first completion of the World Event, you will get Ether Proselyte, Hero's Assist and Saint's Negation.
With the second completion, you will get Saint's Synergy and Saint's Overload.
== Critical(s) ==
Each stance uses the critical of the matching hero blade.

==Passives==
===Saintsblade===
By pressing 'L', your weapon changes to the Saintsblade, which is required to use anything related to this Oath. The Saintsblade boasts a staggering 30 Damage, 10% Penetration, a swing speed of 1.04x, a weight of 7, and a range of 8.5. The Saintsblade doesn't scale off of any attribute or trait, nor does it apply elemental status effects. It does, however, gain extra PEN from Proficiency.
===Saint Stances===
With the Saintsblade equipped, you are able to enter 5 different Saint Stances, corresponding to the 5 elements. Saint Stances are cycled through by using the Critical. Each stance gives the Saintsblade a unique Critical, gives you access to element-specific passive abilities as given by Hero's Assist, and modifies the Blade of Saints Mantra. The cycle order of stances is based off of your highest-invested attunements, with the stance when you first equip the Saintsblade being your highest one, the second one your second highest, and so on.
===Hero's Assist===
Hero's Assist is a passive ability that relies on the summoning of the past heroes of the attunements themselves to aid you in battle. Which hero is summoned and their effect is dependent on the current Saint Stance. This passive ability works once per Saint Stance, requiring you to cycle to the next one to reactivate.
Hero's Assist: Jace: In the Flamecharm Saint Stance, upon flourishing an enemy, summon the Hero of Flame to set down 3 deadly eruptions in the direction of the flourish, each of which innately proc the talent The Floor is Lava.
Hero's Assist: Trinity Galenwarde: In the Galebreathe Saint Stance, upon uppercutting, block-breaking an enemy with a mantra, or taking damage while casting a mantra (can be from any source), summon the Hero of Gale to shoot a miniscule version of the Galebreathe mantra Tornado at the enemy, while also suffocating and knocking them away.
Hero's Assist: Urek Felhand: In the Shadowcast Saint Stance, upon parrying an attack, summon the Hero of Shadow to do minor damage in an AoE, proccing the talent Sightless Still on anyone hit.
Hero's Assist: Faust: In the Frostdraw Saint Stance, upon landing a Frostdraw Mantra, or the Frostdraw-specific Blade of Saints version, summon the Hero of Frost to shoot a barrage of ice projectiles at the enemy, proccing chill or applying crystals.
Hero's Assist: Tessa: In the Thundercall Saint Stance, upon casting a mantra for the first time, summon the Hero of Thunder to bolster your attack, greatly increasing the windup, while also greatly increasing the damage of the mantra.
==Mantra(s)==
Blade of Saints is the ONLY mantra for the Oath, which varies in accordance to your current Saint Stance.
===Saintsworn: Flamecharm Saint Stance ===
Rise into the air, and slam down your Saintsblade to apply burn and knockdown to anyone hit.
===Saintsworn: Galebreathe Saint Stance===
You propel yourself forwards with the winds, uppercutting anyone in your wake.
===Saintsworn: Shadowcast Saint Stance===
The Saintsblade releases a horizontal mid-range slash of darkness that pulls enemies along with it, knocking them up at the end of its path.
===Saintsworn: Frostdraw Saint Stance===
Use your Saintsblade to shoot out 3 crescent-shaped ice projectiles, followed up by a lunge which applies heavy knockback.
===Saintsworn: Thundercall Saint Stance===
Slash twice with your Saintsblade, applying knockdown on the second hit, followed up by a devastating bolt of lightning that applies stun.

==Dialogue==
Flamecharm Obelisk: "I've seen what happens when fire burns too hot. It leaves nothing behind but ruin. If you choose this path, remember. you will never be the same. Flame is both a gift and a curse, and it will show you what you're made of..." - Jace
Galebreathe Obelisk: "You must decide, seeker. Will you let the wind carry you, or will you struggle against its pull? It is a path only those who truly understand the winds dare to walk." - Trinity Galenwarde
Shadowcast Obelisk: "Once, I stood with the Five, a hero among them. But loyalty? It's a fragile thing. Betrayal? It's as inevitable as the night." - Urek Felhand
Frostdraw Obelisk: "Ah, a seeker of knowledge, or perhaps just a fool seeking the ice... Faust they called me. The one who saw the patterns, who understood the way of the world better than anyone else." - Faust
Thundercall Obelisk: "Thundercall, huh? You want that power? That zing that come with it? But remember thundercall isn't something you can control easily, not even if you try really hard." - Tessa
==Trivia== 
*This Oath was created by Dexerius, along with Arcwarder and Visionshaper.
*The text that appears when training an attunement, "The elements are not in alignment..." is a hint towards obtaining Saintsworn and was added with the release of the Oath.
*Ironically, this Oath does NOT require the user to be wielding a Heroblade of any kind.
*Saintsworn's cosmetic, the Pseudo-Hero's Blades, cannot be dyed.
*Saintsworn gives the most mantra slots out of any Oath, being 5 total mantra slots, making it incredibly flexible and spammable..
*Saint's Overload have 20 seconds of duration before going off and it can be seen from the flying blade that it changes color to white.
*The 5 blade on your back will vanish one by one after Hero's Assist is triggered.
*Currently, this is one of four Oaths where you cannot skip progression with knowledge. (The others being Bladeharper, Soulbreaker and Chainwarden)
**This is probably due to the Oaths being new and the progression skip hasn't been implemented, or has been fully forgotten about.
