Swordfighter - Master Arts Review
The Round Arts is an excellent high damaging ranged attack, and it is recommended to learn it. The Talent Art, Overclock Buster learned at rank 20 is a daze attack, it is uneccessary to learn unless you have a party that uses combo attacks.
Swordfighter - Master Skill Reviews
| RANK | Skills | Rating |
|---|---|---|
| 5 | Cypher Edge | ★★★★★ |
| 15 | Covert Attack | ★★★・・ |
Cypher Edge's Critical Rate Up is excellent and should be mastered by every Attacker character. Aggro management is done mainly by defenders so Covert Attack is not a high priority.
