Warriors who utilize the power of solmancy to stem the flow of evil, carrying with them a symbol of the sun itself. They are known for their potent power, but one must be careful to keep it in check. For the brighter the light, the greater the shadow it casts...
Strengths[]
- Great zoning.
- Easy Knockdown combos.
- Solsphere ignores Evade, for it counts as a 'field effect'. You can also Bash the Solsphere around to force it to damage enemies.
- Destiny Solblader works! It even increases the damage of your Solsphere significantly.
- Holy Shield with Wall of Light makes you a durable menace, comparable to a Black Knight. (You can stack Black Knight on top of it for even more durability!)
Drawbacks[]
- It takes a little too long to properly wind up.
- Sol Charges are a little difficult to upkeep, for the only way to gain it effectively is through Sol Charge.
- Lightning may be inferior to Light, in defensive terms. Offensively, it might be better due to things such as the Soaked status.
Class Description[]
Solblader is a versatile class that features three distinct style skills. These can be equipped for free in the skill pool, and each one modifies how Solblader approaches combat.
Speed of Light is a combo-oriented style that allows you to use many Soldier and Solblader attacks in one round. Wall of Light lowers Solblader's mobility in exchange for strong defenses. Flash of Light is a spellblading style that can allow very quick casting of Mercalan spells by utilizing Soldier skills more frequently.
Regardless of the style chosen, the Solblader is named for its Solsphere. This is a sun-like field object that they place, which deals damage to enemies it encounters, while also giving the Solblader the Holy Aura buff when they move through it, which enhances Solblader skills. Thus, Solbladers strive to both move through their Solsphere and force enemies to move through it.
They also have access to Sol Charges. These are a resource gained by using the Sol Charge skill, and are expended by several Solblader skills and spells.
Solbladers are highly versatile and effective, but can be a bit selfish in playstyle if you want to make use of everything they have to offer.
General Tips[]
- Sol Charge's cost of 3-M means it will up to 3M. If you have an extra 1M after your other actions, use it to end your turn and gain 1 Sol Charge instead of letting the extra Momentum go to waste.
- Soldier base class skills interact with the Solsphere in unique ways, often enhancing their capabilities. You can view a full list of these special interactions here.
- Solblader skills that gain bonuses for having Holy Aura often get those benefits even if Holy Aura is gained during the skill's use. For example, you can gain Godray Undertow's additional Range by using it to dash through your Solsphere.
- Flash of Light's Accelerate Spell effect has an indefinite duration, so you can spend multiple rounds building up its effectiveness and use it at the right moment. If you stack its LV high enough, you can even quickly cast an Invocation spell like Lux Relido.
- Enhancing your Solsphere via Radiant Splendor increases its effective size. This means that you will have more leeway to dash through it for Holy Aura, damage enemies, or target it with skills.
Unlocking[]
Requires level 20+ Soldier Class.
- Defeat an enemy while wielding any weapon with 'Faithful' scaling tag.
