==Introduction==
{{Quote|The pious Ishgardian clergy guide the flock, and the devout knights protect the weak. Yet even the holiest of men succumb to the darkest of temptations. None dare to administer justice to these sacrosanct elite residing outside the reach of the law. Who, then, defends the feeble from the transgressions of those meant to guide and protect them? A valiant few take up arms to defend the downtrodden, and not even the holy priests and knights can escape their judgment. Pariahs in their own land, they are known by many as “dark knights.” These sentinels bear no shields declaring their allegiance. Instead, their greatswords act as beacons to guide the meek through darkness.| Game Description}}

==General Information==
{{see also|Dark Knight (Seafood)}}
[[Dark Knight]] is a Tank [[Jobs|job]] that wields a [[Greatsword]] (2-handed sword) as its [[weapon]]. Unlike 2.0 jobs, Dark Knight does not have a base [[Classes|class]] and starts from level 30. It was released in the first expansion pack, [[Heavensward]], in June 2015.

There is no physical guild building for the Dark Knights. After following the first few quests of the job's storyline, Dark Knights receive their job-advancement quests through an [[NPC]] located in the Ishgard Inn, [[The Forgotten Knight]].

==Play Style==
[[File:Dark knight job gauge.png|thumb|right|Screen capture of In-game Tool tip from Media Tour.]]
As a tank, the Dark Knight focuses mainly on getting aggro and keeping it. The job is especially known for its ability to mitigate magic damage through [[Dark Mind]], and can frequently be seen in higher-level raids where the boss deals a lot of it. They can function as off-tanks relatively well given their potential damage output.

The main mechanic Dark Knights will have to work with is at Lvl 62 and above, with the resource [[Blackblood]]. While under the effects of [[Darkside]], MP regeneration stops during battle and no external sources can replenish it. However Darkside won't be lost if MP reaches 0.
===Blood Gauge===
The Job gauge for Dark Knight in Final Fantasy XIV's 4.0 Stormblood expansion brings a visual indicator to three functions relating to the job. The Dark Knight Soul Crystal will display if [[Grit]] is enabled by blue blades around the soul gem. The soul gem itself will show a numerical value relating to the amount of [[Blackblood]] the [[Blood Gauge]] has. The Great sword representing [[Blood Gauge]] will be surrounded by a red/purple glow if the gauge reaches 100.

[[Blackblood]] is gained by using certain weapon skills, doing auto-attacks under [[Blood Weapon]]'s effect and/or taking damage while under the effect of [[Blood Price]]. Dark Knight does not have a penalty while changing their [[Grit]] or [[Darkside]] status.

[[Blackblood]] is used to execute the three new weapon skills available for Dark Knight.

==Requirements==
*[[Heavensward]]
*Access to [[Ishgard]], where [[guilds|Dark Knight's quests]] are located.
*Complete the quest [[Our End]] (started from NPC in [[The Pillars]] at (x12, y8)).

==Lore==
{{Quote|Though now under Garlean rule, the city-state of Ala Mhigo once boasted the greatest military might of all Eorzea. Among its standing armies were the monks—ascetic warriors as dreaded by foes on the field of battle as the city-state's great pikemen. The monks comprised an order known as the Fist of Rhalgr, and it was to this god—the Destroyer—that they devoted their lives of worship. By mastering seats of power within the body known as chakra, they are capable of performing extraordinary physical feats.|Game Description}}

==[[Monk Guide]]==
A Monk's damage output depends on her ability to keep all her DoTs up on the target and herself, positioning herself appropriately at all times, and making the most of every application of [[Dragon Kick]] and [[Twin Snakes]] without re-applying them early or allowing them to fall off.

'''Explanation:'''
This opener involves using [[Perfect Balance]] to set up all your DoTs right away at their full potency. By [[Form Shift]]ing into raptor form and using [[Demolish]] first, you will perform your opener while a weak Demolish ticks away, reach Greased Lightning III quickly and will have [[Dragon Kick]], [[Blood for Blood]], [[Internal Release]], and [[Twin Snakes]] applied to you for every oGCD attack as well as [[Touch of Death]]. Your first re-application of [[Demolish]] should coincide perfectly with the expiration of the weak [[Demolish]] applied at the beginning of the opener as well as still being applied during the duration of [[Blood for Blood]], [[Internal Release]], and your potion in order to squeeze out as much damage as possible.

==Lore==
{{Quote|Though now under Garlean rule, the city-state of Ala Mhigo once boasted the greatest military might of all Eorzea. Among its standing armies were the monks—ascetic warriors as dreaded by foes on the field of battle as the city-state's great pikemen. The monks comprised an order known as the Fist of Rhalgr, and it was to this god—the Destroyer—that they devoted their lives of worship. By mastering seats of power within the body known as chakra, they are capable of performing extraordinary physical feats.|Game Description}}

==General Information==
[[Monk]] is a [[jobs|job]] that specializes in [[Fist Weapons|hand-to-hand]] combat. Monk evolves from the [[classes|class]] [[pugilist]]. It is a melee damage dealing class specializing in sustained single-target dps. Monks have all the [[Pugilist Actions|abilities]] and [[Pugilist Traits|traits]] of [[Pugilist]]s. They can also use all the cross-class abilities of [[lancer]] and [[marauder]]. The most important [[attributes|stat]] for the monk is [[strength]], which increases [[Attack Power|attack power]]. The level of your monk is equivalent to that of your Pugilist.

==Requirements==
* Level 30 [[Pugilist]]
* Level 15 [[Lancer]]
* Completion of Main Scenario quest: [[Sylph-management]]

Use [[file: fracture.png|link=Fracture]] when you are in the appropriate form for [[Dragon Kick]], [[Twin Snakes]], or [[Demolish]]; the timer for it is at 4-6 seconds remaining; and when [[Touch of Death]] doesn't need to be reapplied.

'''Explanation:'''
This opener involves using [[Perfect Balance]] to set up all your DoTs right away at their full potency. By [[Form Shift]]ing into raptor form and using [[Demolish]] first, you will perform your opener while a weak Demolish ticks away, reach Greased Lightning III quickly and will have [[Dragon Kick]], [[Blood for Blood]], [[Internal Release]], and [[Twin Snakes]] applied to you for every oGCD attack as well as [[Touch of Death]]. Your first re-application of [[Demolish]] should coincide perfectly with the expiration of the weak [[Demolish]] applied at the beginning of the opener as well as still being applied during the duration of [[Blood for Blood]], [[Internal Release]], and your potion in order to squeeze out as much damage as possible.

{{Quote|The pious Ishgardian clergy guide the flock, and the devout knights protect the weak. Yet even the holiest of men succumb to the darkest of temptations. None dare to administer justice to these sacrosanct elite residing outside the reach of the law. Who, then, defends the feeble from the transgressions of those meant to guide and protect them? A valiant few take up arms to defend the downtrodden, and not even the holy priests and knights can escape their judgment. Pariahs in their own land, they are known by many as “dark knights.” These sentinels bear no shields declaring their allegiance. Instead, their greatswords act as beacons to guide the meek through darkness.| Game Description}}

==General Information==
{{see also|Dark Knight (Seafood)}}
[[Dark Knight]] is a Tank [[Jobs|job]] that wields a [[Greatsword]] (2-handed sword) as its [[weapon]]. Unlike 2.0 jobs, Dark Knight does not have a base [[Classes|class]] and starts from level 30. It was released in the first expansion pack, [[Heavensward]], in June 2015.

There is no physical guild building for the Dark Knights. After following the first few quests of the job's storyline, Dark Knights receive their job-advancement quests through an [[NPC]] located in the Ishgard Inn, [[The Forgotten Knight]].

==Play Style==
[[File:Dark knight job gauge.png|thumb|right|Screen capture of In-game Tool tip from Media Tour.]]
As a tank, the Dark Knight focuses mainly on getting aggro and keeping it. The job is especially known for its ability to mitigate magic damage through [[Dark Mind]], and can frequently be seen in higher-level raids where the boss deals a lot of it. They can function as off-tanks relatively well given their potential damage output.

The main mechanic Dark Knights will have to deal with is MP management. While under the effects of [[Darkside]], MP is drained at a constant rate, so the player will have to juggle between using skills that require MP and those that recover it in order to maximize their effectiveness.
===Blood Gauge===
The Job gauge for Dark Knight in Final Fantasy XIV's 4.0 Stormblood expansion brings a visual indicator to three functions relating to the job. The Dark Knight Soul Crystal will display if [[Grit]] is enabled by blue blades around the soul gem. The soul gem itself will show a numerical value relating to the amount of [[Blackblood]] the [[Blood Gauge]] has. The Great sword representing [[Blood Gauge]] will be surrounded by a red/purple glow if [[Darkside]] is enabled.

[[Blackblood]] is gained by using weapon skills, doing auto-attacks under [[Blood Weapon]]'s effect and/or taking damage while under the effect of [[Blood Price]]. Dark Knight, as of the media tour information, seen to not have a penalty while changing their [[Grit]] or [[Darkside]] status.

[[Blackblood]] is used to execute the three new weapon skills available for Dark Knight.

==Requirements==
*[[Heavensward]]
*Access to [[Ishgard]], where [[guilds|Dark Knight's quests]] are located.
*Complete the quest [[Our End]] (started from NPC in [[The Pillars]] at (x12, y8)).

==General Information==
{{see also|Dark Knight (Seafood)}}
[[Dark Knight]] is a Tank [[Jobs|job]] that wields a [[Greatsword]] (2-handed sword) as its [[weapon]]. Unlike 2.0 jobs, Dark Knight does not have a base [[Classes|class]] and starts from level 30. It was released in the first expansion pack, [[Heavensward]], in June 2015.

There is no physical guild building for the Dark Knights. After following the first few quests of the job's storyline, Dark Knights receive their job-advancement quests through an [[NPC]] located in the Ishgard Inn, [[The Forgotten Knight]].

==Play Style==
[[File:Dark knight job gauge.png|thumb|right|Screen capture of In-game Tool tip from Media Tour.]]
As a tank, the Dark Knight focuses mainly on getting aggro and keeping it. The job is especially known for its ability to mitigate magic damage through [[Dark Mind]], and can frequently be seen in higher-level raids where the boss deals a lot of it. They can function as off-tanks relatively well given their potential damage output.

The main mechanic Dark Knights will have to deal with is MP management. While under the effects of [[Darkside]], MP is drained at a constant rate, so the player will have to juggle between using skills that require MP and those that recover it in order to maximize their effectiveness.
===Blood Gauge===
The Job gauge for Dark Knight in Final Fantasy XIV's 4.0 Stormblood expansion brings a visual indicator to three functions relating to the job. The Dark Knight Soul Crystal will display if [[Grit]] is enabled by blue blades around the soul gem. The soul gem itself will show a numerical value relating to the amount of [[Blackblood]] the [[Blood Gauge]] has. The Great sword representing [[Blood Gauge]] will be surrounded by a red/purple glow if [[Darkside]] is enabled.

[[Blackblood]] is gained by using weapon skills, doing auto-attacks under [[Blood Weapon]]'s effect and/or taking damage while under the effect of [[Blood Price]]. Dark Knight, as of the media tour information, seen to not have a penalty while changing their [[Grit]] or [[Darkside]] status.

[[Blackblood]] is used to execute the three new weapon skills available for Dark Knight.

==Requirements==
*[[Heavensward]]
*Access to [[Ishgard]], where [[guilds|Dark Knight's quests]] are located.
*Complete the quest [[Our End]] (started from NPC in [[The Pillars]] at (x12, y8)).

[[Dark Knight]] is a Tank [[Jobs|job]] that wields a [[Greatsword]] (2-handed sword) as its [[weapon]]. Unlike 2.0 jobs, Dark Knight does not have a base [[Classes|class]] and starts from level 30. It was released in the first expansion pack, [[Heavensward]], in June 2015.

There is no physical guild building for the Dark Knights. After following the first few quests of the job's storyline, Dark Knights receive their job-advancement quests through an [[NPC]] located in the Ishgard Inn, [[The Forgotten Knight]].

==Play Style==
[[File:Dark knight job gauge.png|thumb|right|Screen capture of In-game Tool tip from Media Tour.]]
As a tank, the Dark Knight focuses mainly on getting aggro and keeping it. The job is especially known for its ability to mitigate magic damage through [[Dark Mind]], and can frequently be seen in higher-level raids where the boss deals a lot of it. They can function as off-tanks relatively well given their potential damage output.

The main mechanic Dark Knights will have to deal with is MP management. While under the effects of [[Darkside]], MP is drained at a constant rate, so the player will have to juggle between using skills that require MP and those that recover it in order to maximize their effectiveness.
===Blood Gauge===
The Job gauge for Dark Knight in Final Fantasy XIV's 4.0 Stormblood expansion brings a visual indicator to three functions relating to the job. The Dark Knight Soul Crystal will display if [[Grit]] is enabled by blue blades around the soul gem. The soul gem itself will show a numerical value relating to the amount of [[Blackblood]] the [[Blood Gauge]] has. The Great sword representing [[Blood Gauge]] will be surrounded by a red/purple glow if [[Darkside]] is enabled.

[[Blackblood]] is gained by using weapon skills, doing auto-attacks under [[Blood Weapon]]'s effect and/or taking damage while under the effect of [[Blood Price]]. Dark Knight, as of the media tour information, seen to not have a penalty while changing their [[Grit]] or [[Darkside]] status.

[[Blackblood]] is used to execute the three new weapon skills available for Dark Knight.

==Requirements==
*[[Heavensward]]
*Access to [[Ishgard]], where [[guilds|Dark Knight's quests]] are located.
*Complete the quest [[Our End]] (started from NPC in [[The Pillars]] at (x12, y8)).

{{Quote|The pious Ishgardian clergy guide the flock, and the devout knights protect the weak. Yet even the holiest of men succumb to the darkest of temptations. None dare to administer justice to these sacrosanct elite residing outside the reach of the law. Who, then, defends the feeble from the transgressions of those meant to guide and protect them? A valiant few take up arms to defend the downtrodden, and not even the holy priests and knights can escape their judgment. Pariahs in their own land, they are known by many as “dark knights.” These sentinels bear no shields declaring their allegiance. Instead, their greatswords act as beacons to guide the meek through darkness.| Game Description}}

==General Information==
{{see also|Dark Knight (Seafood)}}
[[Dark Knight]] is a Tank [[Jobs|job]] that wields a [[Greatsword]] (2-handed sword) as its [[weapon]]. Unlike 2.0 jobs, Dark Knight does not have a base [[Classes|class]] and starts from level 30. It was released in the first expansion pack, [[Heavensward]], in June 2015.

There is no physical guild building for the Dark Knights. After following the first few quests of the job's storyline, Dark Knights receive their job-advancement quests through an [[NPC]] located in the Ishgard Inn, [[The Forgotten Knight]].

==Play Style==
As a tank, the Dark Knight focuses mainly on getting aggro and keeping it. The job is especially known for its ability to mitigate magic damage through [[Dark Mind]], and can frequently be seen in higher-level raids where the boss deals a lot of it. They can function as off-tanks relatively well given their potential damage output.

The main mechanic Dark Knights will have to deal with is MP management. While under the effects of [[Darkside]], MP is drained at a constant rate, so the player will have to juggle between using skills that require MP and those that recover it in order to maximize their effectiveness.

[[File:Dark knight job gauge.png|thumb|right|Screen capture of In-game Tool tip from Media Tour.]]

The Job gauge for Dark Knight in Final Fantasy XIV's 4.0 Stormblood expansion brings a visual indicator to three functions relating to the job. The Dark Knight Soul Crystal will display if [[Grit]] is enabled by blue blades around the soul gem. The soul gem itself will show a numerical value relating to the amount of [[Blackblood]] the [[Blood Gauge]] has. The Great sword representing [[Blood Gauge]] will be surrounded by a red/purple glow if [[Darkside]] is enabled.

[[Blackblood]] is gained by using weapon skills, doing auto-attacks under [[Blood Weapon]]'s effect and/or taking damage while under the effect of [[Blood Price]]. Dark Knight, as of the media tour information, seen to not have a penalty while changing their [[Grit]] or [[Darkside]] status.

[[Blackblood]] is used to execute the three new weapon skills available for Dark Knight.

==Requirements==
*[[Heavensward]]
*Access to [[Ishgard]], where [[guilds|Dark Knight's quests]] are located.

{{Quote|The pious Ishgardian clergy guide the flock, and the devout knights protect the weak. Yet even the holiest of men succumb to the darkest of temptations. None dare to administer justice to these sacrosanct elite residing outside the reach of the law. Who, then, defends the feeble from the transgressions of those meant to guide and protect them? A valiant few take up arms to defend the downtrodden, and not even the holy priests and knights can escape their judgment. Pariahs in their own land, they are known by many as “dark knights.” These sentinels bear no shields declaring their allegiance. Instead, their greatswords act as beacons to guide the meek through darkness.| Game Description}}

==General Information==
{{see also|Dark Knight (Seafood)}}
[[Dark Knight]] is a Tank [[Jobs|job]] that wields a [[Greatsword]] (2-handed sword) as its [[weapon]]. Unlike 2.0 jobs, Dark Knight does not have a base [[Classes|class]] and starts from level 30. It was released in the first expansion pack, [[Heavensward]], in June 2015.

There is no physical guild building for the Dark Knights. After following the first few quests of the job's storyline, Dark Knights receive their job-advancement quests through an [[NPC]] located in the Ishgard Inn, [[The Forgotten Knight]].

==Play Style==
As a tank, the Dark Knight focuses mainly on getting aggro and keeping it. The job is especially known for its ability to mitigate magic damage through [[Dark Mind]], and can frequently be seen in higher-level raids where the boss deals a lot of it. They can function as off-tanks relatively well given their potential damage output.

The main mechanic Dark Knights will have to deal with is MP management. While under the effects of [[Darkside]], MP is drained at a constant rate, so the player will have to juggle between using skills that require MP and those that recover it in order to maximize their effectiveness.
===Job Gauge===
[[File:dark knight job gauge.png|Thumb|Screencapture of a Tooltip.|Right]]

The Job gauge for Dark Knight in Final Fantasy XIV's 4.0 Stormblood expansion brings a visual indicator to three functions relating to the job. The Dark Knight Soul Crystal will display if [[Grit]] is enabled by blue blades around the soul gem. The soul gem itself will show a numerical value relating to the amount of [[Blackblood]] the [[Blood Gauge]] has. The [[Blood Gauge]] will be surrounded by a red/purple glow if [[Darkside]] is enabled.
==Requirements==
*[[Heavensward]]
*Access to [[Ishgard]], where [[guilds|Dark Knight's quests]] are located.
*Complete the quest [[Our End]] (started from NPC in [[The Pillars]] at (x12, y8)).

{{Quote|The pious Ishgardian clergy guide the flock, and the devout knights protect the weak. Yet even the holiest of men succumb to the darkest of temptations. None dare to administer justice to these sacrosanct elite residing outside the reach of the law. Who, then, defends the feeble from the transgressions of those meant to guide and protect them? A valiant few take up arms to defend the downtrodden, and not even the holy priests and knights can escape their judgment. Pariahs in their own land, they are known by many as “dark knights.” These sentinels bear no shields declaring their allegiance. Instead, their greatswords act as beacons to guide the meek through darkness.| Game Description}}

==General Information==
{{see also|Dark Knight (Seafood)}}
[[Dark Knight]] is a Tank [[Jobs|job]] that wields a [[Greatsword]] (2-handed sword) as its [[weapon]]. Unlike 2.0 jobs, Dark Knight does not have a base [[Classes|class]] and starts from level 30. It was released in the first expansion pack, [[Heavensward]], in June 2015.

There is no physical guild building for the Dark Knights. After following the first few quests of the job's storyline, Dark Knights receive their job-advancement quests through an [[NPC]] located in the Ishgard Inn, [[The Forgotten Knight]].

==Play Style==
As a tank, the Dark Knight focuses mainly on getting aggro and keeping it. The job is especially known for its ability to mitigate magic damage through [[Dark Mind]], and can frequently be seen in higher-level raids where the boss deals a lot of it. They can function as off-tanks relatively well given their potential damage output.

The main mechanic Dark Knights will have to deal with is MP management. While under the effects of [[Darkside]], MP is drained at a constant rate, so the player will have to juggle between using skills that require MP and those that recover it in order to maximize their effectiveness.

==Requirements==
*[[Heavensward]]
*Access to [[Ishgard]], where [[guilds|Dark Knight's quests]] are located.
*Complete the quest [[Our End]] (started from NPC in [[The Pillars]] at (x12, y8)).

{{Quote|The pious Ishgardian clergy guide the flock, and the devout knights protect the weak. Yet even the holiest of men succumb to the darkest of temptations. None dare to administer justice to these sacrosanct elite residing outside the reach of the law. Who, then, defends the feeble from the transgressions of those meant to guide and protect them? A valiant few take up arms to defend the downtrodden, and not even the holy priests and knights can escape their judgment. Pariahs in their own land, they are known by many as “dark knights.” These sentinels bear no shields declaring their allegiance. Instead, their greatswords act as beacons to guide the meek through darkness.| Game Description}}

==General Information==
{{see also|Dark Knight (Seafood)}}
[[Dark Knight]] is a Tank [[Jobs|job]] that wields a [[Greatsword]] (2-handed sword) as its [[weapon]]. Unlike 2.0 jobs, Dark Knight does not have a base [[Classes|class]] and starts from level 30. It was released in the first expansion pack, [[Heavensward]], in June 2015.

There is no physical guild building for the Dark Knights. After following the first few quests of the job's storyline, Dark Knights receive their job-advancement quests through an [[NPC]] located in the Ishgard Inn, [[The Forgotten Knight]].

==Play Style==
As a tank, the Dark Knight focuses mainly on getting aggro and keeping it. The job is especially known for its ability to mitigate magic damage through [[Dark Mind]], and can frequently be seen in higher-level raids where the boss deals a lot of it. They can function as off-tanks relatively well given their potential damage output.

The main mechanic Dark Knights will have to deal with is MP management. While under the effects of [[Darkside]], MP is drained at a constant rate, so the player will have to juggle between using skills that require MP and those that recover it in order to maximize their effectiveness.

==Requirements==
*[[Heavensward]]
*Access to [[Ishgard]], where [[guilds|Dark Knight's quests]] are located.
*Complete the quest [[Our End]] (started from NPC in [[The Pillars]] at (x12, y8)).

* [[Dark Dance]]
* [[Delirium]] is no longer a combo weapon skill.

==Lore==
Far across the rolling waves, towards the rising sun, there lies the island nation of [[Hingashi]].

In the distant past, the realm's great lords vied for supremacy over its sea-girt confines in a long and bloody conflict. And taking to battle in their lieges' names were noble swordsmen whose art was forged in the crucible of war: the samurai.

Eventually, the nation was unified under one banner, and these warriors came to wield their [[katana]] not upon fields as part of an army, but upon streets as protectors of the peace.

But as a neglected blade grows dull with rust, so too do men forget their purpose. Amidst waning memories of the old ways, a determined few hold fast to their convictions, hands by katana grips, awaiting the moment for steel to sing.

==General Information==
[[Samurai]] is a DPS [[Jobs|job]] that wields a two-handed [[Katana]] as its [[weapon]]. The job does not have a base [[class]] and starts at level 50. It will be available in ''Final Fantasy XIV's'' second expansion, ''[[Stormblood]]''.

==Play Style==
*[[Strength]] [[stat]].
*Shares [[gear]] with [[Monk]].
*Engage your enemies up close using the deadly Katana.
*Single-handedly deal massive damage.
*Learn [[Iai]] and other traditional Far Eastern swordplay techniques.
*Master the art of [[Sen]] and its three forces: [[Setsu]] (Snow), [[Getsu]] (Moon) and [[Ka]] (Flower).
*Store energy in your Katana and use it to unleash special attacks.

==Requirements==
*[[Stormblood]]

==Lore==
Far across the rolling waves, towards the rising sun, there lies the island nation of [[Hingashi]].

In the distant past, the realm's great lords vied for supremacy over its sea-girt confines in a long and bloody conflict. And taking to battle in their lieges' names were noble swordsmen whose art was forged in the crucible of war: the samurai.

Eventually, the nation was unified under one banner, and these warriors came to wield their [[katana]] not upon fields as part of an army, but upon streets as protectors of the peace.

But as a neglected blade grows dull with rust, so too do men forget their purpose. Amidst waning memories of the old ways, a determined few hold fast to their convictions, hands by katana grips, awaiting the moment for steel to sing.

==General Information==
[[Samurai]] is a DPS [[Jobs|job]] that wields a two-handed [[Katana]] as its [[weapon]]. The job does not have a base [[class]] and starts at level 50. It will be available in ''Final Fantasy XIV's'' second expansion, ''[[Stormblood]]''.

==Play Style==
*[[Strength]] [[stat]].
*Shares [[gear]] with [[Monk]].
*Engage your enemies up close using the deadly Katana.
*Single-handedly deal massive damage.
*Learn [[Iai]] and other traditional Far Eastern swordplay techniques.
*Master the art of [[Sen]] and its three forces: [[Setsu]] (Snow), [[Getsu]] (Moon) and [[Ka]] (Flower).
*Store energy in your Katana and use it to unleash special attacks.

==Requirements==
*[[Stormblood]]
