Astra Chance of hitting 5 consecutive times at half damage per hit (chance = Skill x 0.5 %)
Swordfaire When user has a Katana/Sword equipped, damage inflicted is increased by +5 points

The Swordmaster is by far one of the most potent classes available because it allows you to pick up the skill Swordfaire , which automatically amps up your damage if you’re using a katana or sword. This class is definitely worth investing in if only for that skill if a character uses swords at all. The Swordmaster is also extremely fast and, true to its description, has great evasiveness, allowing them to double-hit most every enemy and evade counterattacks.

Astra is a very flashy skill and ultimately added up will do 120% more damage than a standard hit, but its biggest draw is that each hit has an individual crit, hit, and miss chance. So if you have a high crit chance, you could crit multiple times in a row within one attack . But if you have a high miss chance, they all might miss!
