History

Trials of Mana

The Duelist is Duran'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 Berserker should he hold the Valor Sphere.

Game Description

2D Version

The meaning of the fight having eluded them long ago, the Duelist seeks but only one thing: Victory. With all matters of honor and code cast to the wayside, for the Duelist, the fight is nothing more but a means to achieve that; a frequent occurrence as but a process and pastime of violent frequency to attain its rewards, graces, and glory at any cost necessary. Walking the narrow and dangerous path of mortal combat with the reaper never far, easily lost in even the most savage instances of carnage and brutality, able to face the most harrowing of battles, and enter storm like tension without a wince, so have Duelists gained a reputation of being fighters of a dark strength steeled from their world of deathly competition and merciless domination, where only the victorious may thrive in their world of kill or be killed, and weakness is only rewarded with death.

3D Version

One of the most powerful fighting classes, Duelists learn dark saber magic in addition to having a high attack stat.
