Dungeon Fighter Online/Slayer

A Slayer is a swordsman who uses melee weapons such as swords or blunt weapons, but cannot carry shields due to the demon Kazan possessing his left arm. The arm is bound in magical chains to restrain the power of the demon, and the power can be drawn out in order to execute special attacks. A female variant of the Slayer class has been announced, but has not yet been released.

They have the most Health and Armor Points amongst all the classes, however they have the lowest magic points of all the classes. Slayers are able to use Katanas, Bludgeons, Great Swords, and Short Swords. Blade Masters are also able to wield Beam Swords.

He can be promoted to a Blade Master, who trains his swordsmanship in spite of the demon's disturbance, and is recommended for beginners; a Berserker, who gets their name by throwing themselves into the middle of a fight and sacrificing their own health to deal damage; a Soul Bender, which can summon various demon spirits to buff allies or damage enemies; or an Asura, who sacrifices his vision in order to gain powers such as imbuing their weapons with elemental properties. Also has Wave attacks such as Fire Wave and Neutral Wave Sword. Upon reaching level 48, the classes can further advance to Grand Master, Hell Bringer, Soul Reaper, and '''Dark Knight.

Class Choices
These are the class choices for the Slayer class. It is crucial that you choose a class that you are comfortable with and ones you favor.

Blade Master
To be able to use both of his hands to master sword combat, the slayer decides to completely seal the power of his possessed arm with a built regulator. He's now able to handle weapons with a lot more ease with both hands and greatly excels in melee combat. The easiest class to handle for beginner, balancing both the ease of use and power.

The Blade Master is the basic "Swordman" class. His skills are mostly basic blade techniques that are short ranged, swift, and strong while relying entirely on his weapon strength. He also has the ability to handle weapons better as he has masteries for every weapon the slayer can wield with an additional weapon called "Lightsaber", the weakest/fastest weapon of the Blade Master. Depending on the weapon mastered, skills and attacks gains added effects upon reaching a certain level of mastery. He can also choose between maximizing the durability of his weapon or maximizing the damage at the cost of durability.

His armor of choice is light armor, giving him more movement freedom and raising strength stats mostly.

Blade Masters can be distinguished by their Kazan-possessed demon-arm being sealed, which is now White instead of Red as the base slayer.

Soul Bender
The slayer chooses to take control of his possessed arm by breaking the seal of it's shackle and mastering shadow elemental powers, allowing him to summon demonic ghosts to aid him in battle and to use their power to release powerful attacks of his own.

The Soul Bender is mostly a magical fighter that uses Cloth armor with magical based boost, and either Short Swords, that have strong and slow magical but fast and weak physical attacks, or Katanas with fast attacks balanced in Magical and Physical attacks.

The Soul Bender has the weakest stature of all the Slayer subclasses, due to his need of wearing cloth armor and his rather magical nature. While he gains a few straightforward attacks, his way of damaging enemies relies mostly on chanelling ghosts (Kazan, Hazy-Eyed Bremen, After Image Keiga, Rhasa:Carrier of plagues, and Lunar) in the battlefield, dealing damage over time and area of effect damage. He also has a great number of buffs to both prevent him from being hit too often and to buff his attacks/lower enemy resistance to shadow/cause abnormal status effects to be able to deal higher damage with his magical attacks.

The Soul Bender can be identified by a shadow aura floating around him.

Berserker
Driven by the hunger for power and destruction, the slayer chooses to let his possessed arm take over him, unleashing enormous powers at the dangerous cost of his sanity and his health he now barely controls. Entering a berserked state, he kills and destroy everything in his way in a furious rage while hungering for a bloody scenario.

The Berserker has the highest physical damage output of all Slayer subclasses. Instead of relying constantly on MP to use his skills, he rather relies heavily on his health. The Berserker is mostly about survival and killing his foes very quickly. The more he weakens as he is consumed by his arm (the less HP he has), the more powerful becomes his attacks. Not to worry though, a Berserker can recover a good amount of his health with ease with it's Die Hard ability when his health reaches a critical state.

All of his skills releases heavy amounts of blood splashing everywhere and dealing high damage while having a certain chance to make enemy bleed. His attack is often powered up with power of buffs when it sucessfully hits a bleeding enemy.

The Berserker gains his signature move at level 35, called Frenzy. It puts the berserker in a trance state that slowly drains his health while giving him an additional blood sword to wield, replacing his normal attack with a powerful 8 hits combo (4 hits with 2 swords) instead of the Slayer's regular 3 hits combo. Furthermore, bleeding enemy who are defeated gets their blood absorbed to restore the Berserker's health.

In overall, the Berserker can be a challenging class due to it's constant low health, but in the hands of a careful player, he is plain deadly.

The Berserker can be identified by it's red glowing eyes.

Asura
Like his mentor G.S.D., the Slayer decides to sacrifice his sight (more specifically, his eyes) to Kazan in exchange to be able gain magical powers in form of waves... giving long range elemental abilities to the slayer. He is then following the ways of what is called an Asura.

Asuras are basically elemental Slayers that specializes in long range area covering skills. These skills are mostly expressed in form of waves released from the weapon he's wielding or from the Asura's body. Being able to tank enemies with his powerful armory, he can also run in packs of enemies and use many skills that releases mid ranged wave around him, as well as waves that draws his enemies to him, push them back, or damage them over time!

Being magical beings, they do favor Short Swords (highest magical attack) and Katanas (Fast, high magic attack). Unlike most magical users however, they wield Plate Armor, giving them very high defense and making them very sturdy characters. Their heavy defense makes them slower attackers. They are a great choice of character for PvE, as they are mostly effective against big groups of monsters with their wide and long ranged attacks.

Because of their rather counterintuitive nature, Asuras are recommended for advanced players, as they seem to be hard to master by most players.

An Asura can be identified by two bands over his eyes, like G.S.D.
