Ni No Kuni is an MMORPG (Massive Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Game) launched by Netmarble Inc. Ever since its launch, the game has seen a massive increase in the player base.

Introduction to Class Swordsman

The Swordsman is a fascinating character in Ni No Kuni Cross Worlds. He can be termed jack of all trades and master of none. He has the combined skills of every class from knockdowns like cc of Destroyer and even high damage output like Rogue and Witch. Swordsman is the best hero if you plan on playing the game solo, as he is self-sufficient in every category, from damage to heals and even buffing himself for extra stats.

1. Playstyle

The Swordsman plays the role of the fighter and deals absurd amounts of damage with gap closing skills. Being in the front lines dealing and soaking up damage with ease, and with skills like Siphoning Lunge, which knocks up enemies, he can also apply some Crowd Control on his enemies. 

So if you like playing with swords, gap closing and being at the frontline, the Swordsman is the character that we recommend for you.

2. Class Skills

The Swordsman in the game has 3 unique class skills. With high AOE damage effects, gap closing potential and short cooldowns, they are your reliable source of damage while playing Swordsman. And remember that the skill element will be the same as the equipped weapon.
