Spellblade Overview for Last Epoch (Patch 1.0)

"A mage who has mixed martial prowess with their mastery of spells to face enemies in close range. A sword coated in ice and flame, a shield gleaming with wards. The Spellblade is as brilliant as he is deadly."

The Spellblade is one of three Mastery classes that can be chosen from the base class of Mage. If you're looking to play a melee base that uses the magical prowess of elemental empowerment in every skill, look no further. It would not be uncommon to see a wake of icy shards or the charred remains of enemies that once stood up to the Spellblade. Weapons raised against the Mage shatter to his protective ward and empowered armor. Even his most mundane movement skills will tear his enemies to pieces. With exciting visuals and powerful attacks, this is a class you will certainly enjoy.

Upon unlocking the Spellblade Mastery, you'll gain access to your Mastery-specific skill,  Shatter Strike. While  Flame Reave and  Enchant Weapon are not specific to the Spellblade, the Mastery Tree itself comes with four skills total that are unlocked by placing a certain amount of points into the Tree itself. All three Mage Masteries can use two of the four skills as long as they hit the requirements to do so. Only the  Firebrand and  Surge skill are reserved for the Spellblade.
