Named for the armaments they’re skilled at wielding, their blade is no simple slice of metal, but a high-tech weapon with capabilities that can only be fully wielded by these skilled combatants. A cybersword with the right talents can cleave through multiple enemies, take down drones with EMP bursts, or block enemy fire.
Cyberswords keep the art of the blade alive in a trigger-happy world. With high-tech nano-blades they can accomplish incredible feats and combo-kill through enemies. They are strong against close groups of enemies and can specialize in spiking drones.
Cyberswords have access to powerful defensive talents as well, but are reliant on the limited charges of their blade’s IO-Batt for several abilities.
