If you try to put sword energy and magic together in one vessel, it will eventually overflow. Perhaps thanks to El's strange constitution of synchronizing with the Jewel, Elsword reached a high level, but eventually reached its limit through continued growth. Did he lack talent for magic? After a brief moment of regret, Elsword pledges not to deny his choice.
 
“It’s the path I decided on. So I can create the path for the future too!”
 
Elsword, struggling with the delicate balance between sword and magic, learns how to put magic into a sword using the ancient magic character runes. Achieving harmony between the two powers, he uses magic characters to quickly link swordsmanship and magic and succeeds in further strengthening his magic.

Rune Slayer

[A swordsman who mastered the power of Rune and Magic]

Background

  • In-game Version
  • Nexon Version

A swordsman who uses both his sword and rune magic to fight.

Using both sword aura and magic can be difficult as they are two completed different forms of mana.

To circumvent the inefficient method of containing two separate energy in one body, Elsword develops a way to imbue magic into his sword, and earns the title, Rune Slayer.


Second Class Advancement

Completing the following advancement quest or using the Item Mall item: Rune Slayer's Mark will change your job to Rune Slayer.

After a couple of battles, Elsword came to a conclusion that he has reached a wall.
Perhaps it was obvious as he was trying to contain both sword aura and mana in one container.
After a short regret, Elsword shook his head. This was his own path that he chose. Though he may not have been truly gifted, he did not want to deny this choice he made.
If there's no path, he can forge one. Just like when he first discovered his talent, perhaps hints can be found in the battlefield.

Tips and Details

  • Strangely, Rune Slayer's >>ZZX combo does not have increased damage on an enemy affected by his Magic Chain passive, despite the former being a magical attack.
  • Unlike most other magical projectiles, Rune Slayer's Runes cannot be reflected completely. The runes will still go past enemies but will not deal damage if reflected.
    • Allies behind will receive damage from 'reflected' rune.


Trivia

  • In his concept art, his initial design was rejected as it had too many similarities to Magic Knight. They then completely redesign his outfit and personality to be more rugged and laid-back rather than knightly and serious like Lord Knight.
  • On Rune Slayer's runes, text reading "The Time Is Now" can be seen under the main symbol in small text.
  • Despite Sword Fire being moved to Magic Knight and Lodestar taking its place, it is still listed as one of Rune Slayer's Primary Skills.
