Sword Knight

[A swordsman who is a Velder Kingdom Knight]
Charges head-first into battle and uses elite swordsmanship skills to rule the battlefield.

[Kick] Use this if you want to continue your combo. It reduces the knockdown rate on a target, making it easy to continue combos.

[Mortal Blow] Use this if you want to deliver a quick attack. It's useful for attacking a fast moving enemy, or against multiple enemies in front of you.

[Armor Break] Use this if you want to deal more damage to the enemy. This move is effective if followed up with other attacks.

[Double Slash] Use this against a strong or cornered enemy. It can also hit enemies above you. Make sure to use this skill on a boss monster.

• Translation

여행을 통해 엘소드는 각 마을들에 있는 수많은 문제들과 맞닥뜨린다. 그저 적을 쓰러뜨리면 해결됐던 지난 상황과는 다르다. 그저 휘두르기만 하는 검은 상대를 해치는 검이 될 뿐, 자신이 따라잡고 싶었던 누나의 검과는 달랐다.

"내 검 끝에 담을 것이 필요해."

모두가 제각각의 정의를 가지고 있고, 스스로가 매번 옳은 길을 갈 수 있으리란 확신은 없다. 그러니 맹목적일 필요는 없지만 검을 휘두르는데에 있어 길잡이가 되어줄 기준. 왕국을 지키기 위해 검을 들었던 누나처럼, 자신 역시 무언가를 지키기 위한 검을 들고 싶다.
엘소드는 다시 검을 들었다. 악에 타협하지 않고, 정의를 지키며, 어떠한 위협에도 굴복하지 않겠다는 강한 의지가 담긴 검이었다.
