Dual Blade

Introduction

The Dual Blade is the newest class in Global Maplestory, as of v.88 on July 21, 2010. It is a branch of the Thief class, yet highly separated, identified by their flashy, quick, stabbing & slashing skills. As provided by the maplestory global site:

"There is a secret war raging in the heart of Kerning City. Lady Syl, Dark Lord’s former flame and the daughter of his great mentor, wages a silent war against the Dark Lord and his Thieves from an unknown location simply known as the ‘Secret Garden.’ Convinced that Dark Lord is responsible for her father's death, Lady Syl seeks revenge with the aid of her Dual Blades that wield a deadly weapon in each hand."

Dual Blades have a slightly changed equipment menu. Dual Blades do not possess a shield slot, instead they have a secondary weapon slot. They wield a dagger in their main weapon slot and a katara in their secondary weapon slot.

I will continue to add information as I gather more to organize. Meanwhile, other contributors are always welcome.

The level cap for a Dual Blade is Level 200.

Levels 10-20 - Rogue

Levels 20-30 - Blade Recruit

Levels 30-55 - Blade Acolyte

Levels 55-70 - Blade Specialist

Levels 70-120 - Blade Lord

Levels 120-200 - Blade Master

Skills

Rogue (edited in the game to exclude Assassin-related skills):

Nimble Body: Increases accuracy and avoidability.

Disorder: Temporarily decreases the weapon def. and attacking abilities if the affected, even stunting the ongoing attacks. Can't use this skill on a monster that's already in 'disorder.'

Dark Sight: Use MP to hide behind the shadows. While in this state, you cannot attack or be attacked.

Double Stab: Use MP to attack the enemy twice with a dagger.

Blade Acolyte:

Slash Storm: Attacks multiple nearby enemies. The attacks become more elaborate as the skill level increases; this skill is mobile (forces you to move horizontally), and grants about 20 frames of invincibility (2/3 of a second) when maxed.

Note: Slash Storm has a default maximum level of 5, it requires a mastery book to be raised to 20, which can be purchased in the Cash Shop.

Fatal Blow: Hit monsters up to 8 times (when maxed). Note: Four of the hits' damage is based on the significantly-lower-attack katara's stat, not the dagger's.

Self Haste: Increases your Speed and Jump for a set amount of time.

Endure: Allows you to recover extra HP and MP over time.
