Why put this class on your shortlist?

You enjoy fighting near enemies and choosing when to commit.

The trade-off to consider

Close range makes positioning and an exit route part of your damage plan.

Your first practice exercise

Repeat one short encounter. Notice when you stop attacking to move; aim to reduce unnecessary movement before chasing a longer combo.

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.
