Compared to its predecessor Sword Master, Glorybringer has a much easier time maintaining EnergizedWeapon skills are expanded from Awakening Blade. These skills can be uses from Resonating Blade skill or DEF effects for ATK and DMG cuts.
and enjoys a broader subskill selection that allows it to make the most of its abilities.
