Swift as a meteor crossing the sky, Duelists rush their enemies with razor-sharp blades before they have time to react. These fleet-footed fighters blend acrobatics with a touch of magic, disorienting their opponents before wearing them down with an unrelenting flurry of attacks.
Duelist is a melee class that wields Dual Blades. It specializes in fighting individual targets through rapid attacks, damage-over-time effects, and evasive movement. Certain skills accumulate Butterfly Dance stacks, which can later be consumed by Dancing Balisong to deal additional damage.
Natural strengths: Single-target damage, evasion, mobility, and sustained pressure.
