Blade Job

Inspired by Katana films, movies or video games, the Job has talents that add buffs for using melee weapons like a Katana. For old visitors/subscribers, perks were recently rebalanced, and new perks were added.

Blades start off at a disadvantage compared to other jobs because they don't have ranged weapon/turret perks like the Security officer, or many utility perks like other jobs.

A Blade requires multiple completed Perk Trees to bring out their full potential. Making them late bloomers who are lacking at first, but very powerful in the mid-end game. As they progress to higher levels, they bring those superhuman sword masters of fiction into reality on the moon of Europa.

A max level Blade when well equipped with vanilla gear in the endgame is capable of challenging abyssal monsters to a death duel, but beware that it often ends in both them, and the beast bleeding out together afterwards unless you have alien genes, or powerful modded armor. So make sure to keep a medic ready on standby.

They go from a submarine oddball to becoming the captain's final trump card. Becoming capable of superhuman feats that would be otherwise deemed impossible, leaving the residents of Europa in awe of whether they are even human.

Increased experience mods can aid in the progression of your blade companions. As they scale with higher levels better than other jobs, while being lacking at a low level.

Talent Trees

• SWORD SMITH, boosts to crafting, and Weapons Skill, and an optional crew buff talent.
• BLADE MASTER, Several different perks to spice up your Melee Gameplay.

Adds Katanas, and Wakizashis: Respectively 2 handed, and 1 handed. You can equip the katana to an empty belt slot by double clicking it from your hot bar. Allowing you to wear it on your hip/side. Double click the Katana from your belt slot to equip it in your hands. If you are wearing something in your belt slot already, then you can just equip it from your hot bar like a normal weapon.

Damaged Katanas, and Wakizashis can be repaired with steel bars at a fabricator. Whether your submarine has one, or the outpost has one. Old Katana/Wakizashi can be mounted on weapon racks for display in your submarine.
