Swiftblade

Description

The unique armor worn by this mysterious warrior is said to have been uncovered in the ruins of an ancient city. Whether the armor imbues the famed speed and pinpoint accuracy possessed by the warrior called Swiftblade, or whether he would be equally mighty without it, none can say.

Swiftblade's two damage abilities make him extremely difficult to stop, as Blade Frenzy provides magic immunity, while Swift Slashes grants invulnerability. By leveling Blade Frenzy first, Swiftblade maintains high damage and survivability from the beginning to the end.
