Blade Dancer
The Blade Dancer is a martial class, unique to the Lyn, who have taken on the quick sword techniques of the Blade Master and infused it with the elemental nature of the Force Master.
The Lyn, typically mischievous and unpredictable, now grand jete with deadly grace. Using their lethal Lynblade, the Blade Dancer can moniker the frenzy of the winds, channel the might of lightning, or invoke the power of a supernatural Grimreaver. Their mastery in quick damage together with their unmatched crowd controls and unique blend of defense skills makes the Blade Dancer a valuable asset in any scenario, and that's without mentioning their Maelstrom for short-lived but essential damage resistance.
Being a hybrid between the Blade Master and the Force Master, the Blade Dancer can often be seen as a martial style with no true strengths. That said, they also have no true weaknesses, resulting in a style of combat being a jack of all trades—after all, you need more than strength to fight.
