Destroyer's power comes from their immense physical strength. They wield large axes to deliver fatal blows to their enemy targets. They also enjoy taking advantage of their winning situations, grabbing enemy corpses and tossing them at other foes. Destroyers have great defense making it easier to deal with melee attackers and multiple enemies at once. Destroyer bodies were trained to withstand even the harshest attack, they often become the strong root of their allies.
Destroyers are the classic short distance, slow and heavy hitting fighters. Almost all of their skills are offensive and contain splash damage. With such a powerful and gargantuan weapon, the Destroyers excel at fighting multiple mobs at once. In fact, they are currently the best AoE damaging class currently in the game.
Resource Mechanic
Sword Chi Points
Destroyers use Rage to call forth their devastating abilities. When a Destroyer lands a simple attack he/she will gain Rage. They will need a certain amount of Rage in order to call out the more devastating abilities. Once those abilities are used they will consume the Rage. Unlike the Force Master's Inner Chi (Mana) the Rage bar starts at zero and increases as you attack. The Rage bar will slowly diminish back down to zero if not in combat.
Keep in mind that the name of this resource mechanic is an unofficial translation and may be named something completely different in the other regions retail versions.
Skills
The following list is incomplete. These are just a few of the currently known Blade Master abilities, we will continue to update the list as more information is provided. These abilities are also unofficial translations of Blade & Soul's Korean G-Star 2010 playable demo, official translations may vary.
| Icon | Name | Level | Hotkey | Cost | Cooldown | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| File:Destruction.png | Destruction | N/A | F | N/A | N/A | Slam your weapon down on an enemy in front of you with an axe. With high damage and low "Rage" cost, this skill comes very useful in early stages of the game. After you Kick your enemy and hurl him to the floor follow up with Destruction. |
| File:Judgement.png | Judgement | N/A | R | N/A | N/A | This is the only skill in the demo that has no rage cost. Use this ability often to collect rage. You can start the "Judgment -> Retribution -> Heaven's Fury" combo with this skill. |
| File:Gale.png | Gale | N/A | 1 | N/A | N/A | Destroyer swings the axe in a large circular motion attacking nearby mobs. Use this ability when fighting multiple mobs. This ability requires rage so be sure to collect some using Judgment first. |
| File:Rage.png | Rage | N/A | Tab | N/A | N/A | The Destroyer explodes a wave of rage around him/her, falling into a state of "Rage". In this state, skills change into special "Rage" state skills. For example the skill "Gale" becomes "Raging Gale" which is stronger, causing massive amounts of damage. The rage state finishes when the rage bar runs out or when the time limit on this ability runs out, whichever comes first. |
