Masters of both blade and dance, dancers often operate as assassins thanks to their unique abilities. In Ores, dancers are most commonly found in the dense, sprawling mercantile cities in The Red Desert, where there’s plenty of coin to be made and rumors to be heard.
In addition to eviscerating their foes with their excellent bladecraft, dancers will use their alluring charm to support their allies.
