With two days left until the game's release, the final two character classes in Might & Magic X Legacy have been revealed. They are the Blade Dancer:

THE BLADE DANCER

Elite among sylvan warriors, certain Elves dedicate their lives to the intricate Elven martial art known as the Battle Dance.

Bladedancers are light-footed, slick and stealthy. Spiritually, they’re rooted deeply in the powers of nature. Their combat style is highly defensive, but when they attack, they do it with rigor, good rhythm and precision.

ELVEN SPECIALTIES

Nature is the overwhelming force that drives all Elves. Like the other Elves, Bladedancers have a natural resistance against Earth Damage and have an outstanding ability to evade attacks.

BLADE MASTER: The Advanced Class of the Bladedancer

Some Blade Dancers reach a level of expertise so remarkable that their swordplay becomes a mesmerizing spectacle, the beauty of which can awe even their enemies in admiration. These Dancers are given the title of Blade Master by their peers, and can now teach what they know to others.

The abilities of the Blade Master: “Whirling Death” and “Carnage”

The passive ability “Whirling Death” grants Blade Masters an additional action for the current turn whenever they’ve killed a monster with a melee attack.

“Carnage”, an active ability, allows the Blade Master to simultaneously attack all targets in combat range. This costs 35 Mana.

WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO HAVE A BLADEDANCER IN YOUR PARTY?

If you like a nimble, stealthy, but deadly fighter, then this class is for you. They make good use of their elven evasion bonus and their combat style is full of rhythm, hence the name Bladedancer. Also, male Blade Dancers are as scantily clad as the female ones.
And the Crusader:

THE CRUSADER

Crusaders can be found all over the world, spreading the teaching of the Light and fighting all the evils they encounter.

Being Followers of the Light, Crusaders represent the ideals of truth, justice and perfection. As knights in shiny armor, they protect their party members from all evil, but are also quite capable to fend for themselves.

HUMAN SPECIALTIES

Like all other humans, Crusaders have a strong connection to Air and Light. In General, humans are said to be dynamic, but rather short-lived compared to the other races.

THE PALADIN: The Advanced Class of the Crusader

Champions of the impossible quests with faith as their guiding star, Paladins are Crusaders that have answered the calling of Elrath, the Dragon God of Light. They make a sacred oath that is magically binding and blesses them with tremendous powers that allies respect and rivals fear.

The Paladin’s special spells: “Lay on Hands” and “Mandate of Heaven”

The Paladin can completely restore all the Health of all party members by casting “Lay on Hands”. But all Mana will be gone after that.

The other special spell of the Paladin, “Mandate of Heaven” also costs all Mana. It is a party buff that adds Light Damage to all successful strikes caused by melee weapons, ranged weapons and magic foci wielded by party character.

WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO HAVE A CRUSADER IN YOUR PARTY?

Why wouldn’t you want a heavy-armored healer who is also a Grand Master with the sword?​

"The Mandate of Heaven", eh? I see what they did there.

Seems to me that, based on the class description, The Blade Master ought to have a key ability that stuns / sleeps multiple targets rather than simply more damage...

"Some Blade Dancers reach a level of expertise so remarkable that their swordplay becomes a mesmerizing spectacle, the beauty of which can awe even their enemies in admiration. These Dancers are given the title of Blade Master"


Makes sense, no?
