Global Publisher My.com and developer NetEase are proud to present the Swordmage class in Revelation Online with an all new gameplay trailer. 19% of the players in Closed Beta phase one chose this powerful mage class and used its elemental damage during their first steps in the world of Nuanor. The Swordmages wield falchions, but are entirely focused on powerful magic spells. They invest all their energy in sharpened ranged spells that visually represent blades and hit multiple foes at once. Players can choose to wield the power of ice, lightning, or fire to gain control of the battlefield or scorch everything in their sight.
Check out the Trailer:
“They have the power to control Phoenixes and Dragons and they can use the power of the gods to manipulate ice, thunder and flame. When harnessing the power of ice, murderous swords strike fear in the hearts of even the most evil of demons. Swordmages may not be built as powerful as Vanguards, but the swiftness of their attacks can bring down a countless number of enemies. Also, when a Swordmage Disciple brings out his blade and rune, enemies are left with no place to hide. The power of the Phoenix transforms into rune magic that makes the enemy play into the hands of the Swordmage.
Swordmages are an indispensable part of a team. Their massive group control and damage skills can be used to create a control field that enemies won’t be able to escape from and thus will disrupt their attack rhythms and allow the Swordmage to attack with ease. When they protect their teammates, they in turn create a safe healing environment. However, they can also be used as magic turrets that can use their magic skills to turn enemies into dust. No matter which type they are, Swordmage occupy a high status on the battlefield. Additionally, their mobility and control skills make Swordmages perform very well in one-on-one battles.”
