The Royal Warrior has several synthesis skills to enhance its combat power. “Peerless Stonecleaver” unleashes heavy physical Slash damage on one target and gives an additional Turn Icon if it kills the target. This skill mandates party members from Warrior, Thief, or Masked Dancer lineages and Warrior, Brawler, or Berserker lineages.
“Vorpal Blade” does huge physical Slash damage to all enemies and also reduces the Attack of target by 3 turns, making a party member from the Gunner, Faker, or Summoner lineage be a part of this. “Phantom Swordsarm” deals moderate physical Slash damage 4 times to 6 times to one enemy and also provides a Turn Icon on killing blow; requires a party member from the Brawler, Merchant, or Summoner lineage. Lastly, “Red Moon Sword Art” deals critical physical Slash damage to all affected foes and may charm them as well, requiring warriors from the Warrior, Brawler, or Berserker lineages.
