Swashbuckler Class In Log Horizon

Type
: Weapon Attack
Role: Vanguard attacker, Guerrilla fighter
HP Level: Slightly above average
MP Level: Slightly below average
The Swashbuckler is an offensive melee class that focuses on weapon damage. Unlike Assassins who inflict large burst damage on a single target, Swashbucklers can inflict area-of-effect damage and focus on whittling down enemies with debuffs. They excel at high-speed battles and fighting on the move.

Swashbucklers can equip one-handed weapons, some two-handed weapons, and throwing weapons. While they have less weapon variety than Assassins, their lightning-fast serial attacks and wide range lets them mow down groups of enemies.

End of Act is considered their signature skill due to its wide range, its Instant Death effect on lower-rank enemies, and its flashy special effects. The Swashbuckler-exclusive ability to set damage markers, inflicted by skills such as Opening Act and Early Thrust, allows them to deal explosive damage in a short amount of time. This damage can be further boosted by things like the Enchanter's Thorn Bind Hostage.

Among the Weapon Attack classes, Swashbucklers have the highest HP, Defense, and innate Evasion rate and are the most durable as vanguard attackers. As a result, Swashbucklers equipping small shields can be seen serving as off-tanks in smaller parties.

The Swashbuckler has four main builds, which revolve around their choice of weaponry: Dual Blade (dual-wielders), Fencer (single-blade), Gladiator (sword-and-buckler), and Juggler (throwing weapons).
  • Dual Blade: The classic Swashbuckler who wields two lightweight weapons and unleashes a flurry of attacks to overwhelm the enemy. It is a build that easily draws out the class' strengths, but is difficult for players to truly master.
  • Fencer: Single blade user. Able to increase damage from traditionally one-handed weapon by using them two-handed and spec in skills that gives % bonus damage. Popular among those who don't raid often, since they are less equipment intensive.
  • Gladiator: Sword and Buckler. Allows Swashbuckler to act as off-tank, possible tank in low level dungeon. Not popular in raids since they can't tank as well as a tanker, nor can they DPS as well as the other builds.
  • Juggler: Specializes in throwing weapons. Very rare build due to the ammunition cost, but becomes more viable from around level 50, when more weapons with the "returning" or "respawning" property start to drop.

Known Skills

Razor Edge
This skill can be used to interrupt an enemy who is currently casting a spell.

Round Windmill
The user leaps into the air and unleashes an array of attacks while spinning on mid-air. A rather long freeze time follows after use, but enemies successfully hit by the skill will also be momentarily rendered immobile for a short time. 

Viper Slash
Viper Slash is an attack skill that targets the tendons in the enemy's arms. Upon landing, the attack lowers the target's accuracy for several dozen seconds.

Break Trigger
A finishing move that detonates all markers set on enemies at once. When activated, it triggers a chain reaction of explosions, dealing a great amount of damage. Because of its "exploding" effect, this skill is often called "bomb" or "fireworks" and is a mesmerizing moment for allies to watch when triggered.

Viper's Thrash
By attacking the arm tendons and causing bleeding, it causes DOT by bleeding for tens of seconds and a decrease in accuracy. The enemy will see a hit effect like a snake's teeth stabbing in and an icon indicating blood loss.
