As promised, I will post a Cabal Ph – Blader Guide before February 2012 ends. Since my first and main character is a Blader and I am confident enough to share with you what I have learned about the nature of the Bladers. I started playing Cabal Ph since 2012, approximately two years ago.
This is a competitive Blader guide. I am just an average Cabal Ph player who wants to share what I know about a Blader. In this guide I will try to educate you the way I used my Blader in PVE (Player versus Environment or Monsters), differences between a STR and DEX type, Blader’s stats, skills and items, and as a Dungeon killer.
Keep in mind that English is not my native language, so feel free to point any mistakes on the text. Good luck and enjoy the guide.
Description
Bladers are melee type characters and wields either two blades, two katanas or a blade and katana (Lefthand or Righthand, viseversa). They wear Martial set which gives a good defence rate and is recommended for PVE. Higher defence rate = Bigger chance in Evading.
Starting Stats
Bladers have a starting balance stats in STR (Strength) and DEX (Dexterity). They say that Bladers are good in PVP (Player versus Player) and PVE (Player versus Environment or Monsters) because they have EXCELLENT attack and defence rate and GOOD attack and defence.
Effects of each stat point
One of my objectives in making this guide is to clarify the differences between a STR and DEX type. If you are aiming for a level 180 then you will notice something different when you reach level 100, the system will not give you anymore a stat guide for the upcoming rank-up. Rank-up stat guide is always given each time you reach a level by 10s – meaning every level 10, 20, 30, 40, and so on. Rank-up stat guide also helps you in your stats distribution, without the stat guide you won’t know how many STR, INT and DEX you need to upgrade. So I asked my guild mates and friends that are high level bladers, I asked for suggestions on how would I distribute my stats perfectly without any mistake since I don’t like to waste my extract points. Majority of them asked me if I want to be a PVP or PVE Blader type, and they added that if I want to be a PVP type, I must have an enough DEX and INT for my weapon and set and the rest of the stats goes to STR while in a PVE type, I must have a sufficient STR and INT for my weapon and set and the rest goes to DEX. So, I decided to be a PVE type since I like to go to dungeons to hunt for rare items and I know that a PVE type has a good defence rate since it’s a PURE DEX. BUT! Looking the table above gives you the real effects of each stat point; notice that STR and DEX has the SAME effect in Attack, Defence, Attack and Defence rate (Disregard Magic since Bladers are not magic users). Even do your a PURE STR or DEX it won’t matter for a Blader, the stat STR and DEX the just the same. I conclude that there are NO PVP and PVE type of Bladers, it depends on the weapon, set and accessories that makes a Blader a PVP or PVE type. I hope that this information helps!

PVE and PVP skill patterns
Here are my skills used in PVE and PVP in pattern. (In order)
PVE:
Lighting Slash – Area effect skill
Death Tempest – Area effect skill
Vital Interfere – Stun enemies
Assault – for boxes and instant teleport with attack to the target
Blade Scud – Back-up skill and also an area effect skill
PVP:
Vital Interfere – Stun enemies
Double Stash – Fast skill
Impact Stab – Fast skill
Storm Grind – Down
Assault – Fast skill
Lighting Slash – Great Damage
Impact Stab – Fast skill
Vital Interfere – Stun enemies
Storm Grind – Down
The PVE pattern is good in high level maps and dungeons because majority of them are area effect skills and when you are in a dungeon try to equip a single Force Absorb Ring +2 this will help you survive. My PVP pattern is a Super Fast Skill pattern, when using a combo expect for a fast movement in the combo bar and you need to practice its timing in order to eliminate your enemy without sweat. HAHAHAHAHA.
Hope that this short and direct guide will help you. Comments, suggestions and add-ons are ALWAYS welcome. Have a NICE DAY, ENJOY and GOD BLESS!
