The Twin Blade


Twin Blade (双剣士, Sōken-shi) is a class in The World and The World R:2 which wields dual blades. It is also a class in The World R:X. It is the only class "carried over" between three revisions.

The World

Twin Blades are the most balanced class in The World. They are noted for their superior traveling speed and hit rate. Twin Blades was the original the proverbial "jack of all trades, master of none" due to the fact that while they have decent attack stat growths, have decent magical stats, and higher speed growth, they are unable to equip the strongest armors, have lower attack growths than the other classes, and do not have access to stronger magic skills. Their greatest strength lies with their multi-hit skills. Each skill has several elemental versions, and as a result are capable of dealing massive damage to enemies weak against those elements.

The World R:2

In The World R:2, Twin Blades are extremely versatile, with more weapon types and subtypes than any other class. Their attacks are somewhat weak, but quick and easy to combo. Twin Blades have high agility and attack with two short swords. Their rapid attacks leave no opening for an opponent to counterattack. 

List of Skills

There are three basic types of Twin Blade attacks: Staccato (deals over 15 hits to a single target), Tiger Claws (deals over 5 hits to targets within the player's vicinity), and Saber Dance (deals 4 strong hits to a single enemy). Although the non-elemental versions of these attacks don't do quite as much damage as one would hope, the elemental versions can deal ridiculous damage to monsters with the opposite element. Unfortunately, none of these attacks have versions dealing Earth or Water damage.
