This is great! I've been watching a bunch of tutorials where I just felt more confused than when I started. This video broke is down nice and simple for me! You should make a video on how to deal with ranged attacks as a blade master because that's def been a struggle as well :) thanks again!
Thanks for making this. I've watched many tutorials on the blade master and none of them actually taught me HOW to use the blade master. Mostly showing me how they use it and they never explained how they activate or whats the best way to use them. Now I won't look like a idiot. Hope the devs add a optional tutorial on the class in some sort of training area.
You're very welcome, happy to hear it helped. This is exactly why I made the video, the Devs took so many steps to make sure players couldn't just spam swing but as a result made it difficult to learn without a proper tutorial.
Thank you for this straight forward guide! You not only explained it well but you showed examples, I’m level 9 and had no idea about charging my weapons. Lol
Thank you so much! I'm new to the game and just started a Blade Master. I was constantly getting killed because I had no idea what to do. Great tutorial!
Good tutorial for new people! I've always played BM DPS in Alpha's and Beta and I am currently maxed dps rn and I find it still funny that people say that BM doesnt do damage xD I maxed out EM all roles and honestly, BM DPS really becomes strong around level 23 when you have omnistrike / all godstones unlocked.
awesome video, i play as a support blademaster and people keep asking why i put up with such an unused class even though i can easily deal with hordes of enemies and get myself almost constant health regen. would definitely be interested in other guides if you choose to make more, until the devs expand upon the tutorial it feels as though you have to figure out a lot of the games mechanics on your own
These are my thoughts exactly ! Blade master can be so powerful when used correctly. I'm currently working on a video detailing player stats and godstones and how those mechanics work... Although my rec software is being... Difficult
@10:20 “When she’s out of rage, you can’t keep using them, but, that’s beside the point…” I’d say it’s actually an ESSENTIAL point, because you must be aware of your limits and use power strikes judiciously!
Even a year later this guide seems to be quite accurate from what little I've played. I do wonder though if the playstyle can be different if you swing with both sword at once... Like will it count as 2 strikes for my cadence to activate? If not then I suppose a one sword per attack strategy may be the best approach after all. I personally am more into using both of the swords at once to hit so far though... I think my biggest struggle in the game so far is not being able to notice when my stamina is out... I got super confused when I was trying to climb a wall and thought the game was bugging out, then after about 2 minutes I realized it took stamina to climb and that I was out...
damn this explains so much why my damage is better than my friends xD they just went: fuck it ill go mage dps... mellee has such low damage. but now i know they probably just flailed like idiots.
To do a power attack you hold in the trigger, you'll notice a sound effect and your sword will "glow" / get a texture to it. Power attacks use up Rage "Blue bar". Cadence attacks will trigger naturally through combat (every third strike in said direction). As long as you make sure your sword charges between each hit (see step one). Have a re watch of step 3 to see this is more detail. Hope this helps
Ya, this video is really helpful to me!! I am going very fast on swigging my sword and wondering why there are not much damage at the end!! Now I know it actually nid to be slow XD
Ah yes, I have that too. A mythic and unique ultra yet no upgrades 🥲 the good news is, if you swap godstones after using the ability it refreshes the cooldown.
Throwing in VR is difficult to get used to, practice makes perfect!. If by "stick" you mean stick into the ground, you might have a different Goldstone active, (if I remember correctly) one goldstone sticks into the ground and the other just hits the target.
I think the real issue they need to fix is the mechanics that balances the blademaster's function to the mage's. For instance blade master should be able to dash and mages should only be able to teleport without the dash. Edit: Blademaster for life from the start here
You don't see blade masters because they was nerfed 3 times, the devs give EM all these cool graphic moves buffs and long range damage, while doing the bare minimum for BM plus making the class weaker. The sign that a specific class has favoritism in video game is to look for the more common class. In this case it's more tragic seeing that there is only two classes to choose from. As long as the devs meat ride EM and shit on BM any one with a brain won't main BM.
You don't see many bc nobody wants to swing their arms 250, 000 times to level their character. I hate VR bow mechanics and swinging mechanics that also have a grind to level up.
I don’t think discouraging fun fast paced moments is a good answer. Who cares if it takes longer to kill if it’s fun? Adjust the mechanics to reflect fun not monotony!
Nothing feels better than being overwhelmed and fighting for your life. I very much agree. Fast paced fighting is my playstyle 110% unfortunately Zenith mechanics don't support this. The reason they have the swing speed so slow is to prevent people just spam swinging and also to accommodate people who cannot swing as fast as others. I would love to see if the cyber ninja class opens up for faster gameplay mechanics.
First couple of times i played, my arms were so sore! What a workout! I was a little bummed to find slower is better, but it has a nice flow to it. I would like to see both but I like how it is also. Good to know about the cadences! I am going to have to watch again to pick up the rest. There's just a lot to remember , for me lol

Finally, a video that talks about the 2nd charge on swords before you swing! Gj!
Glad you liked it!
I have played both and I have found blade master to be a better killer than mage. thanx for the video. good tips!
Thank you for this straight forward guide! You not only explained it well but you showed examples, I’m level 9 and had no idea about charging my weapons. Lol
thank you for the 1 and 2 tempo example. Very helpful. I was definitely swinging like I was fanning a fire.
Thank you so much! I'm new to the game and just started a Blade Master. I was constantly getting killed because I had no idea what to do. Great tutorial!
I've been through so many videos and nobody explained the cadences, thank you for this video !!!! , you earned a sub , cant wait to see more
I am beyond impressed that this is your first tutorial! You did an amazing job man!! Thanks for this video, this will help me out a lot!
Thank u for this so much. The timing part really bugged me couldn't figure out how fast to swing. Also the cadence explanation was very good
The timing is definitely the most annoying part when starting out. I'm glad this helped :)
I'm the 70th subscriber!
This helped me out so much!
Thank you so much ! Haha
Glad it helped
I did start with an essence mage but I do have a blade master setup for me to explore the class in a bit. This is a big help.
THANK YOU - GREAT ADVICE AND TUTORIAL THAT WAS EXPLAINED FOR EASY USE!

Its good to hear a fellow blade master shares these thoughts ! Blademasters can be really Op when built / played right
@@Kaires_ Especially if you have the new lvl 41 legendary swords with godkings ascension which does 300% AP
@@ChizyVR oh wow... That's insane ! Sadly life has been getting in the way so my playtime has dropped off. Can't wait for the grind !
This was very informative. Thanks so much for the tips and tricks - was very much needed.
Great info in getting into this game late and needed a good guide 👍

Thanks a ton for this!
Thanks for the tips🔥🔥💪🏾💪🏾
Awesome. Very helpful thanks
GOOD VIDEO, GREAT EVEN
Thank you a lot for this guide!
Thank you so much! Helms me a lot!
Thanks for this tutorial. It helped me a lot.
Its sad that the game doesn’t teach us this! Imagine how many people that are missing out on damage
My thoughts exactly ! That's why I made the video, so more players can make the most out of Blade Masters
Fantastic. Thank you.

Thanks this helps a lot I’m blade master tank lvl 17
That's good to hear !
The tank is the only role of Blade master I haven't got a chance to level yet. It looks OP
damn this explains so much why my damage is better than my friends xD
they just went: fuck it ill go mage dps... mellee has such low damage.
but now i know they probably just flailed like idiots.
what a nice video, man!
This feels like a gym class lol. Even tho I never play this game I'm getting the psvr2 and I'll try it if it's out on it and this will help
In the new update the new combo ability makes it so you can hit fast if you want
So helpful, thank you!
Great vid! I have some troubles fighting with swords. How do I specifically attack with either a power strike or a cadence? Arent they both trigger?
To do a power attack you hold in the trigger, you'll notice a sound effect and your sword will "glow" / get a texture to it. Power attacks use up Rage "Blue bar".
Cadence attacks will trigger naturally through combat (every third strike in said direction). As long as you make sure your sword charges between each hit (see step one).

Great tutorial, weapons throw is waaaaaaaaay more powerful on tank . Ridiculously fast stun!
Is anyone else's DPS god stones broken?
I look forward to leveling up my tank class. There is a known bug with some godstones not saving upgrades / leveling after 40
@@Kaires_ I literally have no options to upgrade my ultras god stones at all 😱
Ah yes, I have that too. A mythic and unique ultra yet no upgrades 🥲 the good news is, if you swap godstones after using the ability it refreshes the cooldown.
@@Kaires_ nice one broski
Why do you use 2 different swords, please? And why was one sword blunt on the tip for the first part of the video?
How come you stopped making zenith videos?
It did help bro now i just need to wait for my quest to be full power again in order to used it again 😅 i run out of juice lol
Thanks
Any advice on how to fix the weapon throw? I can’t get mine to work. I can throw it but it won’t stick.
Throwing in VR is difficult to get used to, practice makes perfect!. If by "stick" you mean stick into the ground, you might have a different Goldstone active, (if I remember correctly) one goldstone sticks into the ground and the other just hits the target.
So good but underrated just started zenith today
Goodluck on your new adventure!
Thanks!
this really helped I was killing faster then my level 9 friends
That's awesome ! Glad it helped
How do you dash?
Dash is one of the buttons on your controller by default. Depending what headset you have ask around in game for which button it is
For me it's very difficult to fight because of the lack of aoe attacks
I think the real issue they need to fix is the mechanics that balances the blademaster's function to the mage's. For instance blade master should be able to dash and mages should only be able to teleport without the dash.

Oof, I thought it would be natural to play as a blademaster. That's what I was going to go with on my first game.
yeah but the basic attack of mage does far more damage than blademaster's entire kit
You don't see many bc nobody wants to swing their arms 250, 000 times to level their character. I hate VR bow mechanics and swinging mechanics that also have a grind to level up.
But I want to be like kirito 😭
i dont even know how to get a sword
I play mage cause u can sit down and play
