Blade

There are many types of Mercenaries; those going for Blade on their second job would go mostly for Dexterity. If you see someone who is but a blur as they hack away, then most likely you have just encountered a Blade. If you are a Mercenary, you can become a Blade at level 60. You will gain more abilities that allow to face your enemies without fear for your life, while they shake in their armor. Blades can do many things that a mercenary cannot, like dual-wielding weapons. But they hold the same philosophy. “Hit hard, hit fast, and never look back.”

Equipment

Second Class skills are normally reserved for use only with Primary Weapons.
All classes may use previous class weapons. So Blades may use Mercenary and Vagrant tagged weapons, but second-class skills may not be accessible.

Weapons

The Blade can use One-Handed Swords and One-Handed Axes, and when not dual-wielding, may use Shields.

Armor

Speed Breaks

These figures are to be used as a guide. They are base stat points. Their exactitude may vary depending on weapons, buffs, awakenings, jewelry, etc.

Please note that Blades may use all weapons tagged for Mercenaries and Blades. There are no non-primary weapons for Blades. For ALL, Two-Handed weapons are restricted to Knights. Also, when dual welding, the first weapon will count for Speed Break calculations. Any ATK Speed modifiers on the second weapon will be added to the total, up to 100%.
