Duelist

Duelist is a Strength and Dexterity class announced for version 1.0. Its identity is sword combat, with stances and choices between dual wielding and a sword with a shield. Those descriptions are a preview of the launch class. They should not be read as an Early Access character-creation option on the review date. The starting-skill cell remains empty because the cited material does not supply a dependable entry for it.

Knight and Master-at-Arms are the two named specialisations in the source card. Their timing needs particular care. The November press material describes Knight with a Squire, War Banners and a mounted charge, while the same recap says Master of Arms will arrive later. Other launch summaries advertise twenty-six ascendancies. That disagreement is retained rather than turning an advertised total into a guarantee for both Duelist choices on launch day. A useful comparison before release is therefore the announced weapon and role, followed by the release-status row. Detailed sword combinations, a passive allocation and equipment prices would require separate dated evidence. The full-release guide covers the campaign and launch changes, while the ascendancy hub keeps the specialisation names together without assigning an unsupported power ranking.
