Duelist Tips & How to Use

Lightbringer Extension

Duelist - Lightbringer Extension
The Duelist has a passive ability that allows it to extend the duration of Lightbringer. Though a close-combat fighter, the Duelist can easily be overwhelmed if surrounded. This is very useful in these situations as it can allow you to pick off enemies one by one.
