Kung Fu Master

Kung Fu Master

Difficulty	4.5/5, Expert
Race(s)	Gon, Jin, Yun
Weapon	Gauntlets

The Kung Fu Master (aka KFM) is a close-quarter combat class that relies upon quick reflexes (and good latency) to fight with near-invincibility while delivering respectful, oftentimes surprising damage. Armed with nothing more than gauntlets and their own bodies, KFMs are renown as the most difficult class to play in Blade and Soul, due to the unforgiving nature of their timing-based attack conditions. On the defensive, KFMs can effortlessly dodge and counter nearly anything thrown their way, which effectively makes them an ideal tank class (if players chose to generate and hold threat). However, the higher level KFM players goes, gameplay revolves around using their attacks and dodges together in one fluid style, giving off the appearance of constantly fighting within the eye of a storm. The decision to main a KFM isn't one meant to be taken lightly; that being said, all other classes will feel easier by comparison, should you successfully master the art of kung fu.

In terms of PvP potential, KFMs are well considered to have a high skill cap and a correspondingly high combo attack capability. But with regard to PvE damage output, KFMs are generally considered to be above-average at best, even when played correctly. As such, new players are typically advised to play KFM for their gameplay style, for PvP, or to fulfill the role of a tank-DPSer, and not for raw power.

Races

This class has race limitations and can only be played with three races: the Gon, Jin, and the Yun.

Resource Mechanic

Fighting Spirit points

Kung-Fu Masters use Focus to call forth their abilities. A point is added to the Kung-Fu Master's Focus bar every time a basic combo or move is used. The larger, more complicated moves will require a certain amount of Focus points to perform and will consume the Focus points upon use.
