Glorybringer is a direct upgrade over Sword Master, offering more flexible Subskill selection while retaining the versatility of the Sword Master's Sword Abilities.

  offers a variety of modest buffs but disables the mainhand's Defend ability. It can be used to conserve energy if a particular enemy triggers Defend too often, or to simply increase the MC's power for an entire fight with one button when MVP racing. The 7T cooldown begins when it is recast (ended).
•  
  Resonating BladeEffects vary based on main weapon.
  is optional for Glorybringer (unlike Sword Master), meaning it can be taken based on the mainhand's Resonance effect. As a Base skill, it can be taken any combination of Subskills or EM skills.
•  
  EnergizeRestore energy. Costs 30% charge bar. Can only be used while energy is available.
  is another Base skill option, but much less useful due to the superior energy management of Glory Arts and Colmillos.

Overall, Glorybringer is a powerful class, capable of high damage due to its many sources of bonus damage, as well as utility via various Awakening abilities, offering a situational alternative to Berserker. The main barrier for Glorybringer is obtaining a powerful mainhand, but fortunately Ridill is a worthy contender in all elements.
