Why put this class on your shortlist?

You enjoy short attack windows, target selection and close control of movement.

The trade-off to consider

A burst opportunity is less useful if you cannot disengage afterwards. Practise an exit as deliberately as an opener.

Your first practice exercise

Before engaging, name one reason to attack and one reason to retreat. Review whether you actually followed those conditions.

How to compare fairly

Use similar equipment and the same available encounter when comparing classes. Repeat more than one attempt. Record control comfort, missed mechanics and whether the playstyle stays enjoyable after a mistake. Your favourite activity and available play time matter more than an unlabelled tier score.

Build and version context

This profile describes a playstyle; it does not prescribe a rotation, skill build or stat priority. Before following a detailed setup, match its region, date, activity and equipment assumptions to your character. Do not infer a global skill value from a Korean clip or an early design announcement.
