Description

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 and identified by their flashy, quick, stabbing and slashing skills.

"There is a secret war raging in the heart of Kerning City. Lady Syl, the former Dark Lord’s daughter, wages a silent war against the current Dark Lord and his Thieves from an unknown location simply known as the ‘Secret Garden’. Convinced that the current 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.

Note from a player: Dual Blades actually DO have a shield slot but when you try to equip a shield, it says 'Dual Blade characters cannot equip shields'
