Blade Dancer

The Blade Dancer is a Lyn-only class. Using their small size, Lyns utilize swift precise movements to nimbly attack their opponents. The Blade Dancer is a sword wielding class that delivers powerful melee attacks, has a decent number of defensive abilities, and has a few ranged attacks at their disposal. It is a well rounded class that is able to unleash a lot of both burst and consistent damage over time. They are relatively easy to level, thanks to their massive collection of AoE skills and the relatively low difficulty in playing the class effectively.

Although it is similar to Blade Master in name, both are very different.

* Blade Dancers have lower health, defense and block, but have higher crit and evasion.
* Blade Dancers have more AoE skills and skills with crowd control effects but overall damage is lower.
* Blade Dancers cannot use the skill "Block". They have to utilize the 0.5 second parry window of the upgraded "Vortex" ability or an upgraded version of their "Guardian Tempest" ability to nullify attacks.
* Blade Dancers can only shift to the quick draw stance using "Lightning Slash" or through an upgraded version of "Dual Strike".
* Conditions for using some skills are different.
* Overall simpler mechanics.
* Although weaker weapons are shared between the two classes, stronger swords (obtained in party dungeons) are separately labeled as a "Lyn Blade".
