If you happened to be out of the loop, Korean developer Pearl Abyss has paused introducing new character classes, and instead focused on upgrading the current ones. Enter the awakening system, where a new weapon and skills are introduced upon obtaining the requirements. This week, the awakening weapons for both Male and Female Bladers were shown, though only in artwork form.
For the Male Blader, he is getting a new guandao (or crescent blade) weapon, similar to the one wielded by the famous Guan Yu in Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Normally a 2-handed weapon, it is seen here paired with a 1-handed blade. This will definitely give him a wider attack area. The Female Blader is blessed with a spear, providing a better attack range stabbing and piercing enemies.
