Edge Punisher

From .hack//Wiki

An Edge Punisher.
"Edge Punishers are a job class that prefers to wield giant swords. A blow from one of these weapons has enormous power. It can slice most enemies in half with a single strike."
The World R:2 Official Site. —

Edge Punisher (撃剣士) is a class in The World R:2. Similar to the Heavy Blades from R:1, Edge Punishers use huge, double-handed Broadswords. The same class returns in The World R:X.

[edit] Usefulness

Edge Punishers excel in physical attacking, especially against armored foes; however, they are much slower than classes such as the Blade Brandier. Edge Punishers also have higher defense from the heavy armors they can equip.

[edit] Weapons

See Broadswords.

[edit] Trivia

  • The Edge Punisher class was originally called Brandish in the Japanese version. The kanji, however, means something more like "Impact Swordsman".
  • The skills Mystic Moon and Bone Dust were removed from the final release of the .hack//G.U. Games for unknown reasons.
