Blade Master

The satisfaction of a waverless strike

Pure repetition and muscle memory make you a duellist who never misses. There is no flair here, only the certainty of steel hitting its mark every single time. This restricted discipline is limited to four races. Join the purists to master the art of the killing stroke.
