Assessment

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

•  EspadaBig damage to a foe based on number of Sabres and Katanas equipped. (Damage cap: ~1,160,000.) is a powerful nuke on a fairly short cooldown, and can deal tremendous damage in conjunction with a Gauph Key β Ultima weapon or means of increasing the Skill DMG Cap provided your grid has enough Swords and Katanas to boost the damage modifier
•  Al DobleGain 30% Bonus DMGDeals bonus DMG for one-foe one-ally attacks

  Duration: 3 turns.
  Blade of GlorySuccess rate of sword energy effects on one-foe attack is boosted
  Duration: 3 turns: Increase the debuff success rate of sword energy by 40%. offers useful burst damage and increases the debuff success of the mainhand weapon's Attack ability. This is mostly only useful on Ridill because most other strong Glorybringer mainhand's have a bonus damage Attack ability, but the 30% Bonus DMGDeals bonus DMG for one-foe one-ally attacks
  Strength: 30% and Crit are good in their own right, especially if combined with assassin skills such as from Murgleis, Shiva (Summon)'s call, or 5★ Tien
•  ColmillosGain ColmillosATK is boosted / Double attack rate is boosted / Slight chance to boost DMG for critical hits / Sword energy effects don't activate upon taking DMG (Can't be removed)
  Duration: Until recast. (Recast to end.)

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 BladeCasts mainhand's Resonance skill. 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 EnergizedWeapon skills are expanded from Awakening Blade. These skills can be uses from Resonating Blade skill or DEF effects for ATK and DMG cuts.
  to maximum. (Uses 30% of charge bar.) 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.
