| + | "Oh it's you. When I saw you from afar, I knew you would be a master of the sword but I didn't think it would be you. You've become quite strong. | ||
| + | |||
| + | However, you don't look all that satisfied... Why? | ||
| + | |||
| + | Oh I see. Even at that level, you have not reached your goal and still have a long ways to go. It's a great attitude but is your goal actually realistic? | ||
| + | |||
| + | Until now, you have swung your sword for survival. No, I am not saying that your experience in real sword fight is lacking. | ||
| + | |||
| + | However, it's sometimes good to go back to basics and learn a different sword technique of another master. I am sure it will be of big help to you. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ... M...me? Thank you for acknowledging me but my technique won't match your style. Instead, have you heard of the 'Blade Dancer'? | ||
| + | |||
| + | A few years ago, she appeared like a comet and single handedly defeated all her enemies. After a long and secluded life, she showed herself in style to everyone by winning the tournament. | ||
| + | |||
| + | People gave her the title of 'Blade Dancer' as she showed flawless and beautiful sword fighting skills. Now, she no longer hides from the world. She helps the weak and teaches her sword techniques. | ||
| + | |||
| + | I actually went to her and learned a bit of her technique. If you are okay with it, I could teach you what she thought me. If you learn her skills, you could also become the 'Blade Dancer.' | ||
| + | |||
| + | If you are interested, please come back to me." | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | "You're here. I hope the techniques of the Blade Dancer will improve your skills greatly." | ||
| + | <hr> | ||
| + | '''[[Knight Robato]] Awakening - Blade Dancer 2''' | ||
| + | |||
| + | "Blade Dancers have mastered the an unparalleled the sword technique to reach the level they are at now. The way they make their own path, it's quite like you. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Blade Dancer's techniques are unique in that it is fancy and beautiful. It is said that it was developed that way to attract the attention of others. | ||
| + | |||
| + | A Blade Dancer participated in the tournament just to show off her skills. She didn't even care about winning the tournament. I guess she wanted to become a symbol of hope for those who have lived their lives like hers. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Sounds interesting, doesn't it? I am sure your values are similar to hers. | ||
| + | |||
| + | So how about this then? Do you know about the 'Black Dragon Tournament' in Shonan? | ||
| + | |||
| + | Join the Black Dragon Tournament and collect 30 Black Dragon Energies. Go through the same experience the Blade Dancer went through. | ||
| + | |||
| + | It will be of great experience to you. Maybe you will come back with a new purpose like the Blade Dancer before you. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Be careful though, the contenders of the Black Dragon Tournaments are also the members of the Tower of Despair, and they are not to be underestimated." | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | "A new Blade Dancer has been born. Astounding. Now you can live a life for yourself and get away from the nightmares that troubled you in the past." | ||

| + | <div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"> | ||
| + | ===Subclass Inspiration=== | ||
| + | <div class="mw-collapsible-content"> | ||
| + | * The Vagabond's theme is heavily based around [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wuxia '''Wuxia''' (武俠)] or known as ''martial arts and chivalry'', which is a very popular Chinese genre of fiction about regular humans who can achieve supernatural fighting ability through martial arts training and internal energy cultivation. | ||
| + | * Her gameplay could be reminiscent to the Star Wars franchise on how both Jedi & Sith fought using both Lightsabers and the Force. | ||
| + | * The Vagabond is the only subclass in the game that is able to wield more than one weapon in their inventory due to having a special slot above their primary weapon. | ||
| + | ** She and Blade Master are the only two Slayer subclasses that can wield [[Lightsabre]]s. | ||

Awakening as a Neo: Vagabond
Under the night sky with a pure white moon, she alone seemed to dance in a different world.
Where her blade and palm passed blood was spilled,
But the alluring flower blooming around her covered the scent of blood.
For a long time, I’ve wandered the continent and I’ve claimed that I’ve seen many arts of the sword,
But was it merely the ignorance of a frog in a well?
I became ashamed of myself being confident of my narrow sight.
Many vagabonds only relied on their own chi and sword to carve their path
And only the select few with exceeding perseverance and talent were called the dualists or blade dancers with awe.
But what I witnessed was a level beyond it.
A blade sage. If one could reach the level of sagehood with swordplay, was this it?
Even a simple gesture had both discipline and confidence,
She danced without stopping for a moment as though there were no unexplored paths on her martial path.
“Yet this is your last moonlight…”
The two blades dancing on her hands had become one like magic,
And at that moment a calm, powerful single slash that almost silenced the world itself unveiled.
Under the full moon, on the world she cleaved in half the flowers bidding farewell to her enemies bloomed.
“Ha…”
Under the night sky where all had fallen she seemed truly sad of the blooming flowers and the wilting breaths of her enemies.
As I hid in the bushes and watched her my eyes met hers and I was unable to move a finger,
I could say nothing to her as she gently disappeared amongst the blooming and wilting flowers.
And when some time had passed, I came to realize that they weren’t really flower petals,
But the scattering chi released from just one person.

Trivia
Subclass Inspiration
- The Vagabond's theme is heavily based around Wuxia (武俠) or known as martial arts and chivalry, which is a very popular Chinese genre of fiction about regular humans who can achieve supernatural fighting ability through martial arts training and internal energy cultivation.
- Her gameplay could be reminiscent to the Star Wars franchise on how both Jedi & Sith fought using both Lightsabers and the Force.
- The Vagabond is the only subclass in the game that is able to wield more than one weapon in their inventory due to having a special slot above their primary weapon.
- She and Blade Master are the only two Slayer subclasses that can wield Lightsabres.
Titles
- Despite what the lore says, Vagabond, in reality, means a person that wanders place to place without a home or a job.
- Her First Awakening Dualist can refer to the Chinese philosophical concept known as Yin & Yang.
- Despite sounding similar, the Skirmisher has Duelist for his overseas subclass with a different meaning to it.
- Blade Dancer may likely be a reference to Irelia's title from League of Legends.
Skills
- A variety of the Vagabond's skills tend to have a flower theme to them.
Blade Triangle - Charlotte's Trislash. (Samurai Shodown)
Fluttering Blades - Charlotte's Crystal Rose. (Samurai Shodown)
Cutting Palms - Shinka Ialdabaoth. (Super Robot Wars OG Gaiden)
Explosive Palm - Buddhist Palm Technique from the 2004 Comedy/Action film, Kung-Fu Hustle.
Verdant Blast - Inspired by the 24-Movement Plum Blossom Sword Technique featured in a Korean manhwa and webnovel called Return of the Mount Hua Sect.
Zenith - Her 2nd Awakening passive's alternative name in Chinese (登峰造極) refers to how the Vagabond has reached the pinnacle of her abilities, and could be a metaphor that she's entered the realm of the gods.
