Introducing the (Sky) Swordmaster Sandra, our very first Swordmaster. This calss is defined by their special (Sword) Skills, and Skill that Sandra possesses is "Ougi: True Sky Cross Slash", that clears skies of all flying trash in four cardinal directions from Sandra (and damages rest heavily). Specifically, upon skill activation she leaps to the sky, bringing her block to 0 momentarily, and unleashes one cross-shaped infinity-range true damage AoE attack centered on her jumping position, that hits flying enemies extra-hard. Yes, that means she hits the whole map along that four lines. Outside of her skill, she is a decent, if unremarkable and pricey duelist. Awakening gives her ability to dodge physical attacks with semi-decent chance, allowing to better bide her time waiting for skill to come off coooldown. Skill Awakening does not exist yet. All in all, Sandra, as all other Swordmasters, exists for her skill, and is as useful as good one can utilize said skill. So her use would require building the strategy around it, and careful timing its activations for most effect, but in exchange it provides unique tactical opportunities. So make sure to get as many skill levels for her as possible!

Area of effect for Sandra's skill:

Remember, position of flying enemies is determined by their shadows, so fliers whose shadows are situated below Sandra's feet before skill activation will not be hit by it.

Comments about the event

->Open Spoiler<-

Befitting the Heaven-rending reward, flying enemies certainly come in droves in this event, so a good ranged force is required. And new faces are demons, with their customary high Magic Resistance, so pack your best Archers and even Cannoneers. Overall, maps a rushy, so take some anti-rush specialists along.

On a silver farming front, here's a run-down of possible drops:

• Archer (Lauren) (map 2);
• Rogue (Cecily) (map 2);
• Mage (Pallis) (map 3);
• Pirate (Giovanni) (map 3);
• Bandit (Mortimer) (map 4);
• Heavy (Leeanne) (map 4):
• Soldier (Crave) (map 5);
• Samurai (Sanosuke) (map 5);
• Priest-Warrior (Ertel) (map 5);
• Healer (Christopher) (map 6);
• Witch (Naynia) (map 6);
• Valkyrie (Elaine) (map 7);
• Vampire Hunter (Khuri) (map 7).

New Classes Being Introduced

->Open Spoiler<-

Swordmaster / Sword Saint

A Special Class (meaning, comes pre-ClassEvolved from the start, and takes two sets of orbs for awakening), members of which are completely defined by their (Sword) Skills. Every girls have her own unique skill and so her own use, but all share the fact that said skills are of instant duration (one attack only). Without skill, they are solid if unremarkable and pricey duelists, so if one is to field them, it will be solely for the skill. That also means that they require a strategy built around that skill, but offer very high power and unique utility in return.

There you are. I was beginning to worry that something happened to you.
Appreciate the guide, as always.

Literally fuck the dragon map, man. It should not have taken me seven fucking tries to 3*.

At least two runs failed because my browser thought it'd be a great time to crap itself midway through the run. Aside from that, the goddamn scorpions somehow kept slipping past my line. I should've just brought Shiho or something.

Actually this was the easiest star event we've had in a long time , IMO. It might be the fact that both my accounts have pretty decent anti air , but dunno. It kinda felt ....too easy.


That being said , i'm happy that we're finally getting swordmasters. They seem like an interesting class imo

Yep. A witch for each side really spanks that map due to clearing the scorpions and slowing everything else. You really only need 2 blockers counting the Prince and honestly I can't remember if he ever actually blocked anything.

People use witches for that map? I just brought Spica, Aisha and Rachel and the rest was cake :P

"Pssshh....i just used some of the most op ranged attackers in the game , how was that not easy for you guys ?"


Honestly , i've also used nanaly and Anelia - which are some of the best ranged units that you could use for that map , which is why this was also a walk in the park for me as well , but that map can be pretty tough if you go in blind. I've failed that map once because i didn't knew pegasi were going to apear as well , and i've had a belinda placed right under the piramid

I had Nanaly, Elizabeth, and several expendable rogues that I hoped would be fine for the mummies + scorps, but nope, somehow the latter still kept getting past.

That, and blind-dropping my Prince/one of my healers in the pegasus riders' path and my comp deciding, "nah, I think we won't register your next ten clicks as you frantically and fruitlessly try to hit the withdraw button" was what screwed me over.

Well failed da Dragon Desert map 4 LOL

seems I need to get Spica to CC50 or lv up Bashira past CC50

Had to do the fire dragon map twice due to spica dying to mobs i didn't see coming from the left :/
Other than that, i just need to do the last map
