The Swordsman is a class where you can feel the fun of manual control. Suitable for users who prefer direct control over auto-hunting. The Falling Blossom and Penetration runes are essential elements for Swordsman gameplay.

Focus: A core passive that increases critical hit chance and damage; maintaining it is important. Gale Stance: A dash attack from a sheathed sword state, causing a break. Linked Swordsmanship: Damage increases when alternating between Secret Sword skills, reducing efficiency during auto-hunting. Sharp Eyes: Increases critical hit damage upon a critical hit; securing critical hit chance is important.

Equipping the Falling Blossom rune activates a new chase skill. The Falling Blossom skill is activated when using a Secret Sword skill after skills 1, 2, and 3. The Falling Blossom rune plays an important role in damage dealing. Gameplay is difficult without the Falling Blossom rune, but you can slowly farm for it with a goal in mind.

Runes can be acquired through in-app purchases for faster growth. Runes can be acquired through farming with consistent play. There are two Epic runes for each class; for Swordsman, they are the Falling Blossom and Penetration runes. Synthesizing accessory runes increases the chance of acquiring runes for your class. The Epic Falling Blossom rune is essential; the Penetration rune can also be acquired at a purple grade.

Equipping the Penetration rune changes skill 1 to Quick Sword; using Quick Sword resets the cooldown of Secret Sword skills. The Penetration rune helps to smoothly cycle through skills. The Focus gauge continuously decreases; it can be recovered with certain skills. Maintaining the Focus gauge is important for increasing critical hit chance and damage.

Basic Combo: 1-4-2-4-1-3-4 Add a focus recovery skill when the focus gauge decreases. Maintaining a combo cycle that can be repeated infinitely is important.

Canceling skill 3 (Gale Slash) is useful when you don't have runes, but it's not essential. When Falling Blossom is activated, you must hit the final blow of skill 4 to acknowledge the stack. Insight is used when in a break state or after a parry success; it's a core damage-dealing skill.

Flash Cut is used to evade invincible patterns or as a finishing blow. The Swordsman has a variety of break skills with good performance. Skill 2, Secret Sword 2, and Gale Stance dash attack all induce breaks.

Auto-hunting (Assist) is useful for farming, but manual control is recommended in raids. The basic mechanics are 1-4-2-3-4; focus gauge management is key. It is common to follow the recommended traits.
