Cabal Online/Blader

"Bladers" are those who have mastered the "second form of force" that were inherited since the Nevareth Exodus. According to the Sage Tower, blader skills originate from a type of martial art that was practiced in an eastern country of the Lost Age, and the martial art was discovered and developed during the Honorable Age. The first generation of the 7 sages then developed the present form of blader skills. Their practice is focused on maximizing physical abilities by using force, and they prioritize dazzling technique and speed over destructive power. In the beginning, they used various kinds of weapons, but they quickly realized that the best partners for their skills were dual swords, and settled with them. Since then, they use single or double bladed dual swords as their primary weapons, and wear light armor such as "Martial Suit Set" from the Huan continent for speed.

Just like the warriors, bladers have very limited understanding of force, and so mainly practice physical strength and agility more than studying the knowledge of force, which requires intelligence. Experienced bladers are said to be able to create multiple doppelgangers by maximizing their agility, and to bring instant death to their enemies by summoning deadly Astral Weapons which are the results of their spiritual awakening in force.

Bladers start the game in Desert Scream. They have the highest defense rates in the game, which makes them powerful in PVE, though they are not as good in PVP, since defense rate is useless. Some people in forums believe that Bladers have lower hit points than Wizards. They can choose betweeen using blades or katanas as their main weapons. Their Summoned Astral Weapon is a pair of Dual Claws, and also gains the ability called "Crushing Blow" where the Blader leaps through the air and deals 1 hit damage (even to players) to the enemy.
