Nightblade (Trials of Mana)

The Nightblade is a Character class in Trials of Mana.

Trials of Mana
The Nightblade is Hawkeye's dark-dark class and one of his 4 ultimate classes in the 2D version. In the HD remake, it provides its properties and skills to the Class 4 Vigilante should he hold the Loyal Sphere.

2D Version
''Having sought further power to seek the most expedient methods of death onto their targets, the Nightblade is an assassin who has mastered the art of murder. With the ways of the ninja not being enough to satiate the goal of stealing lives, the Nightblade turns to deft, obscured, and even occultish methods of truly walking the ways of darkness and snatch their victims into its abyss, before the light can ever reach either of them. Though the Nightblade has turned away from the path of ninja, they keep with them their study of ninjutsu as basis for their ways of assassination, for skills of martial arts to turn into methods of delivering the finishing blow, how to stalk about the darkness and to know what lies in its foreboding depths, and perform obscured spells and dark arts of magic that not even ninja know about, and is further compounded by mastering the greater use of concealed and unusual weapons, the use of poisons, the purpose of maiming and injury to debilitate and weaken, knowing to seal self conscience and remorse at all times to efficently put down their marks, and even striking the opponent psychologically to turn their fears and imagination against them from afar, before closing in on the kill. As harrowing yet wickedly alluring mystique surrounds this class, let it be known: death becomes those who walk the ways of the Nightblade.''

3D Version
''Nightblades can learn "Weapon Smack," as well as "Needle Shower" that can silence enemies and nullify their attacks. Their brilliant attacks can blow away the enemy.''
