Assessment

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. Its main barrier is obtaining a powerful mainhand, but fortunately its Class Champion Weapon Ridill square.jpg Ridill is a worthy contender in all elements. Compared to its predecessor Sword Master, Glorybringer has a much easier time maintaining Status Energized1.pngEnergizedWeapon skills are expanded from Awakening Blade.
