The '''Rune Slayer''' combines the best of both attack types—physical and magical. Elsword becomes this refined Magic Knight once he acquires more advanced magical skills to cripple and dominate his foes. Advancing to a '''Rune Slayer''' provides Elsword with more improved combos and new rune attacks that can be summoned with a flick of his fingers. Keep your enemies at a distance using runes or charge in with your sword!

'''[A swordsman who mastered the power of Rune and Magic]'''
===Background===
===Background===
While traveling, Elsword decides to practice his magic skills so that he can become stronger. He goes to Vannessa in Velder for help, and she explained to him that he can start using runes instead of fireballs to increase his power. Soon Elsword started to use the runes he got from training, and this allowed him to become a more stronger magic knight, thus giving him the name, [[Rune Slayer]].
{{Background
|NA=
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.
|KR=
하나의 그릇에 검기와 마력을 함께 담으면 언젠가는 넘치는 법.<br>
엘의 보석과의 동조라는 묘한 체질 덕분인지 모두 높은 경지에 이르렀지만 계속되는 성장을 통해 결국 한계에 부딪힌 엘소드. 마법에 대한 재능이 부족했던 것일까? 짧은 후회 끝에 엘소드는 자신의 선택을 부정하지 않겠다고 다짐한다.
 
"''내가 결정한 길이야. 그러니 앞으로의 길도 내가 만들면 돼!''"<br>
검과 마법의 섬세한 균형감 사이에서 고민하던 엘소드는 고대 마법 문자 룬을 사용해 검에 마법을 담는 방법을 터득하게 된다.<br>
두 힘의 조화를 이루어낸 엘소드는 마법 문자를 이용해 검술과 마법을 빠르게 연계하고 마법을 한층 더 강화시키는데 성공한다.
|KRT=
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.

== Second Class Advancement ==
At Lv35, [[Magic Knight]] can advance into Rune Slayer. The second class advancement quest is obtained from Ariel, the event NPC located in every town.
Completing the following advancement quest or using the Item Mall item: '''Rune Slayer's Mark''' [[File:Job Change - {{PAGENAME}}.png|30px]] will change your job to '''{{PAGENAME}}'''.

But as he faced new enemies, it was harder to battle against them.<br>It wasn't just that he was facing stronger enemies, but it felt like he himself has stopped growing. Let's check if there's anything wrong with him with this battle.
#Speak with [[Altera#Adel|Adel]] in [[Altera]].
 
#Collect 5 Memory Alloys from any '''Nasod''' monsters in the [[Altera|Altera]] region on '''any difficulty'''.

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.<br>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.
#Defeat:
 
#*Crow Rider 9 times on [[4-5]] on any difficulty.
| <!-- [Quest 3 Description] --> As he battles against the Nasods, Elsword realizes that what he needs is balance. A careful balance would enable him to utilize his limited container more effectively. But for that, he needed a new method that did not exist before.<br>'Magic usually requires language to activate, but when you fight face-to-face, it's hard to focus enough to speak, right? Why don't you try using magic circles or symbols that don't require you to say anything?'<br>Though she nags a lot, you can always rely on Aisha for magic advice. Let's find Allegro, as he knows some magic runes.
#*Nasod King 5 times on [[4-6]] on any difficulty.
 
#Speak with [[Peita/Feita(NA)#Lento|Lento]] in [[Peita/Feita(NA)|Peita]].
| <!-- [Quest 4 Description] -->Allegro was using methods that maximize efficiency such as drawing ancient runes to create magic circles, or temporarily making his weapon stronger.<br>With this method he can chain his sword technique with magic and make the magic itself much stronger. Let's revise the ancient runes that Allegro taught and apply them in battle.
#Collect drops from monsters throughout the [[Peita/Feita(NA)|Peita]] region:
 
#*10 '''Purified Magic Crystals''' from Glitter Necromancers.
| <!-- [Quest 5 Description] --> After many trials and errors, Elsword finally manages to imbue magic to his sword using runes.<br>The only thing left is finding a careful balance between his sword and magic. Let's defeat more enemies to find the perfect balance and become an even more powerful magic swordsman.
#*10 '''Footprint Rock Fragments''' from any Golems.

|  
Elsword casts a rune directly in front of him and then expands it, making it explode and lifting targets in range into the air. Can be looped by using actives or having high Action Speed.
The standard {{CZ}}{{CZ}}{{CZ}}{{CZ}} combo is reworked to engulfing the last two slashes in flames. The flames do magical damage and the final {{CZ}} no longer knocks down, now doing hitstun.
*''Post KR 2/14 patch:''
*[[Elsword]]'s {{CZ}}{{CZ}}{{CZ}}{{CX}} can no longer be performed.
**Launches a lower distance.
*Note that the flame slashes are both Vitality and Destruction: The flames are Destruction, the slashes are Vitality.
**Shorter delay after exploding rune.

|  
While airborne, Elsword casts a rune in the air and then propels it downward at a 45 degree angle, covering a moderate distance. Unlike the old version, before launching it down, Elsword pops a rune out, stunning targets and making them vulnerable for a combo.
After the standard {{CDR}}{{CX}} combo, explode a rune beneath the enemy to launch them up once more. The rune can be delayed for a short time by holding down {{CZ}}. If fully charged, the rune will not launch grounded opponents.
*''Post KR 2/14 patch:''

**The rune he uses (the number 3 shape in a circling dragon) is divided into two tattoos (3 on his left shoulder and the dragon on his right). However, he never uses both of his hands to construct the rune in his skills/attacks, so the dividing of it is mostly just for looks.

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.
