The Blademancer

This class is a fast melee class that deals magic damage. It uses Daggers and Talismans. The design principles for this class is that it should be combo heavy and fast-paced. This will make the Blademancer the most complicated class to play to date.

Steam post imageThe Blademancer has an additional Chi resources. Some skills generate Chi, some require Chi, some have alternate effects after some Chi level.

There is much left to do, so far, only two skills have been implemented. There are many more to come, I just wanted to give a quick preview of the class.

More Content

Some of the new skills include:
