Swords
Swords are Warrior weapons with a strong focus on continuously hitting enemies at melee range, with a broad set of utility abilities to assist in doing so. Swords are unlocked by the Sword Fighter node on the Destiny Board.
Once unlocked, the following weapons can be used:
Standard Weapons: Crafted using common resources, these weapons tend to be much easier to obtain than Artifact Weapons.
Artifact Weapons: Require specific artifact items to craft, start with higher Item Power than Standard Weapons, and benefit less from Enchantment Levels.
Abilities
- Abilities are unlocked as you level up the Sword Fighter skill (see the Unlock Table below).
- First, Second, and Passive slot abilities are common to all weapons, while Third Slot abilities are unique to each weapon and do not have a level requirement.
- The default hotkeys for First, Second, and Third Slot abilities are Q, W, and E, respectively.
