Viper
Introduction
“This close-range fighting style passed down by Turali hunters uses two one-handed blades that can be combined into a single two-handed weapon.
As such, the viper alternates between pressuring enemies with swift strikes by their twin blades, and dealing mighty blows with their joined weapon.
By calling on the memories of ancient hunters contained within their soul crystal, the viper can imbue their body with additional power for a brief time.— 2023 European Fanfest Keynote Speech Slides
