Bladers maximize physical abilities by using force, and they prioritize technique and speed over power. They use dual blades or katanas as their primary weapons, and wear light armor for speed. Bladers have very limited understanding of force, and so mainly practice physical strength and agility. Experienced bladers are able to create multiple doppelgangers by maximizing their agility and summon Astral Weapons.
