So you are interested in learning the basics and advances for Ryoku in Blade Symphony? Well you are in the right place buddy! This guide will basically teach you the mechanics of the Ryoku class. I hope you enjoy reading this guide i have created for new players!!!

Ryoku blends his sword fighting with elements of breakdancing to form a unique style, reminiscent of capoeira. He spins and flips while striking at his opponent, causing confusion and making players wonder where he’ll strike next.

Fast: His fast stance consists of six attacks, all blinding quick, allowing the player to dart about the arena poking at the enemy. His fast stance has is sword at an angle and his feet stepping up and down.

Balanced: Ryoku’s balanced stance allows him to attack his oponents with crazy spins while dealing lots of damage towards his enemy. His forward attacks offer some interesting swings and moving thrusts when charged, but his side attacks are where he is really good at. Using his side attacks with a long sword can put lots of pressure and damage to his oponents. His balanced stance is hunchbacked.

Heavy: Big, strong swings are not Ryoku’s. It can be very useful if you charge it to tier two, making it attack faster with more damage. But try not to spam becuase the enemy can counter with can air attack. His heavy stance is having the sword over his shoulder like the judgements balanced stance.

Air: Air attacks cancel out heavy attacks but get punished from fast attacks and well place balanced attacks. This is useful for getting around your enemys and doing little damage.

There are 5 different types of swords in blade symphony!

Katana: The katana is a very strong sword with Ryoku. Once You parry against your oppenent your attack will double its damage.

Blocktech: The Katana's blocktech is Fient. You can use this to bait your enemies into thinking you are charging your attack and then cancel that attack and go for a heavy or fast attack. This is not as useful for 2v2 battles, but very effective against players in duels! The katana also allows you to block. Hold block to absorb all hits. Tier 3 attacks break block.

Foil: Not my very favorite sword to use with Ryoku but it has its advantages. This sword i do not recomend to new players. The foil relies on the players patients. To use this weapons you must find your fighters weakness and use it to your advantage.This is much like fencing.

Blocktech: The foils blocktech is called "Guard". You can move around with it slowley to block incoming enemy attacks.

Jian: The Jian Is an amazing sword with all classes. This sword can land attacks with such speed. It allows you to perform combo's especially using fast with ryoku.

Blocktech: A Jian's blocktech can intercept incoming attacks. During an intercept you will have a slight advantage over your opponent.

Scimitar: This sword has a low based damage but can do lots of combos that can help build up the damage output. it also charges up its attacks faster then the other swords, But doesnt break through defences, it allows you to combo with tier two and three.

Blochtech: Like the Katana, the Scimitar can block all non-tier 3 attacks by holding the defense button.

Longsword: This is the holey grail for the Ryoku. You can put out massive damage to your oponents while leaving them hopeless. You can slice them up and use your side attacks to dish out more damage to your oponenet. This is the best sword for Ryoku and new players overall.

Blocktech: The longsword's blocktech is blocking.... Your oponents can break your block with an air or low attack, or just simply getting behind you while you are on your block stance.
