The '''Trueblade''' (Japanese: {{hover|剣聖|Kensei}} | The '''Trueblade''' (Japanese: <ruby><rb>{{hover|剣聖|Kensei}}</rb><rt>{{hover|ソードエスカトス|Sōdo esukatosu}}</rt></ruby> ''Sword Eschatos'') is an advanced [[sword]]-using [[class]] which debuted in {{FE10}}. It originated as a rare [[:Category:Third-tier advanced classes|third-tier promoted class]] in ''Radiant Dawn'' which was the final stage of the [[Myrmidon]] class, promoting from the [[Swordmaster]] class. In {{FE14}}, it is instead a typical advanced class which acts as a [[Hoshido]] counterpart for the Swordmaster, and is one of the [[class change]] options for the new [[Samurai]] class, the alternative being the [[Weapon Master]]. | ||
Being an advanced Swordmaster in one game and a counterpart for it in another, the Trueblade continues the Myrmidon line's traditional stat build and takes it to its extreme conclusion. While their raw damage output is lower than the average due to their lesser [[strength]], their [[Skill (stat)|skill]] and [[speed]] are immense and among the highest of any class in both games, giving them great [[Hit rate|accuracy]] and a very high chance of [[Attack speed|double-attacking]] their foes and making them very efficient fighters. As a result of their high skill and their possession of a skill which grants them a significant critical bonus, Trueblades also inflict [[critical hit]]s very frequently. They also make near-exclusive use of the iconic [[Astra (skill)|Astra]] skill, allowing them to land five consecutive blows on their target when the skill activates. | |||
However, | However, Trueblades are held back by their frailty, as their [[HP|maximum HP]], [[defense]] and [[resistance]] are all fairly low compared to other infantry classes. In addition, their sword-exclusive nature greatly limits their options for [[Range|long-range]] attack; in ''Radiant Dawn'', their only common option is to use [[Sword#Magic swords|magic swords]] which rely on their virtually non-existent [[Magic (stat)|magic stat]]. As with Swordmasters, Trueblades are most effective when their faults are mitigated through tactical use of [[terrain]] benefits to bolster their defenses and increase their [[avoid]]. | ||
