The Destroyers' 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 defence, which makes dealing with melee attackers and multiple enemies at once much easier for them. 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 tank-fighters. Almost all of their skills are offensive and contain splash damage. With such a powerful and gargantuan weapons, the Destroyers excel at fighting multiple mobs at once, while their grabbing capabilities allow them to leave victims vulnerable to everyone else.
Races
This class has race limitations and can only be played with the Gon.
Resource Mechanic
In the final release, Destroyers use the same Chi Bar system as other classes.
Pre-release, Destroyers were intended 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 also increase while taking direct damage.
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 and is a WIP. Ability names are also unofficial translations of Blade & Soul's Chinese version; official translations may vary.

File:Destruction.png | Destruction | 1 | RMB | 30% | Instant | None | 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. The skill accelerates with each casting. | Yes |

File:Charge.png | Charge | 6 | 2 | N/A | 30 seconds | None | The Destroyer rushes up to the enemy with a shoulder blow, stunning him for 2 seconds, while regenerating 10% Chi.

File:Grab.png | Grab | 6 | F | 10% | 18 seconds | Downed enemy | Destroyer grabs enemy from the throat or if they are large, lifts their whole body for 4 seconds. Only usable on knocked-down/stunned/guarding enemies. When an enemy is Grabbed, a new set of Grab-specific abilities will replace the original. Note that if an enemy is lifted rather than grabbed, certain abilities will be unavailable for use. | Yes |
File:Ground slam.png | Ground Slam | 6 | Z | 10% | Instant | Grabbed an enemy | Destroyer slams his/her enemy on the ground in front of him, dealing AOE damage and potentially sending enemies in the way sprawling to the ground. | Yes |
Rampage | 6 | LMB | N/A | Instant | Grabbed an enemy or Using Iron Wall | The Destroyer smashes the enemy currently in his hand with his axe, while regenerating Chi. If in Iron Wall mode, the Destroyer stabs forward with the blunt end of his axe. | ||

File:Earthquake.png | Earthquake | 11 | 1 | N/A | 18 seconds | None | The Destroyer jumps towards his target, slamming down with a shockwave that stuns all enemies around him for 2 seconds, while regenerating 10% Chi. This attack has the longest range out of the Destroyer's abilities and is thus the Destroyer's main method of closing in. | Yes |
Headbutt | 11 | 1 | N/A | Instant | Grabbed an enemy | The Destroyer head-butts the enemy in his head, dealing a high amount of damage and removing Suppression effects on himself. | Yes | |

Uprising Gale | 15 | Tab | N/A | 36 seconds | When knocked down or paralyzed | The Destroyer lifts himself back up into a Gale attack, immune to damage and status effects while having his movement speed increased, dealing damage to those around him. Note the long cooldown time. | ||
Uprising Gale (short) | 15 | 1 | N/A | 12 seconds | When knocked down | The Destroyer lifts himself back up into a Gale attack, but if he is attacked in the middle of casting, he will remain knocked-down for an additional second.. Not to be mistaken with the normal Uprising Gale above; they may look the same, but this version is vulnerable, deals less damage and lacks the immunities and speed buff in exchange for a much lower cooldown. | ||
File:Shield block.png | Iron Wall | 16 | V | N/A | N/A | N/A | Destroyer summons a bone shield from his body which allows him/her to block enemy attacks from the front, while restoring 20% health over 4 seconds. | |
