Recommended Skill Setup
[Quick Footwork] one of Blade's key skills, gives him the ability to evade attacks, which is crucial for surviving tougher battles. Early in the game, players should prioritize this ability to increase Blade's survivability. His [Maneuver] skill (rank 3) also adds to his strength, as he can reposition after attacking, which offers more tactical flexibility on the battlefield. When hit with active attacks, Blade reduces incoming damage and gains additional movement if you have equipped [Fleeing Hare], allowing him to stay mobile and outmaneuver opponents.
