Sword Magic Enhances Physical Attacks
Sword Magic combines magic and physical attacks can, for example, inflict additional damage from the Fire attribute on top of the weapon's original physical damage. Furthermore, a sword imbued with status effects can inflict Silence or Poison on enemies while attacking.
How to Play the Spell Fencer
Charge a Sword with Magic
The Spell Fencer is a unique job that adds attributes and magic damage to a sword's physical attacks. The appeal of this job is that it strengthens both magical and physical attacks at the same time, greatly increasing the damage when striking an opponent's weakness. However, using a Sword Magic requires that the corresponding magic be learned in advance, so having black magic and recovery magic available beforehand will broaden the scope of your strategy.
Maximize Sword Magic with Job Commands
Since the Spell Fencer’s combat style involves casting Sword Magic effects before executing normal attacks, there will inevitably be times when maximizing damage while exploiting an enemy’s weakness is challenging. To compensate for this, combining job commands like the Monk's Martial Arts or the Ranger's Hunting Skills can help boost additional attack power. For example, pairing Sword Magic with damage-enhancing abilities such as Qigong Wave or Targeting makes it easier to deal massive damage.
The true value of the Spell Fencer lies in its ability to increase damage output that comes from combining attribute granting and magic damage. By using abilities that increase the number of normal attacks or effects that ignore magic defense, it is possible to increase damage all at once.
Spell Fencers can become powerful attackers by increasing both elemental and physical damage at the same time. If you can accurately hit the enemy's weakness, you can expect to deal 1.5 times more damage than a normal attack. Try using other job abilities to provide support or inflict abnormal conditions to be more flexible in your approach.
