Swordsmen are the strongest out of all four class types. They use swords or blades to destroy
their opponents. They use slashing techniques in upper or lower strokes. DEX-type swordsman
usually delivers skills that can flinch or cancel its opponent's attack. INT-type swordsman has
various skills which can bolster his and his party members' defense and can also attack many
targets using one skill. POW-type swordsman are the "killers" in the party because of their
awesome attack power. Usually, swordsmen are the ones who always "lures and kills" enemies
for their party due to their high defense and high attack power compared to the other classes.
Swordsman acts as the second most important role in a party next to shamans because they boost
the party's defense by a high standard. A party cannot survive without a Swordsman. Swordsmen
are more unique compared to the other three classes due to their special balance of high attack
power and high defense.

damages its enemies with its high kicks. Brawlers are like swordsmen, they are essential for their
party to survive.

balance or mid-type moves. POW-type archers wields her bow to deliver melee moves and
smash her target. Unlike the powerful swordsman and brawler, the archer requires arrows in
order to make an attack or skill.
