Is Thornblade good?
The damage half of Budsquire's branch: 509 base stats topped by ATK 121 and HP 96, with BREAK 53 still the soft spot. The kit rewards rhythm — Thorny Rain banks Sword Dance stacks fast, basic attacks cash them in at +180%, and Elegant Waltz (172 power) closes. The game's own recommended setup runs Thorny Rain, Thorny Impact and Elegant Waltz with the Ferocious Fang held item, ATK+REGEN as recommended attributes and Melloblum as partner. The Thunderstorm and Prismana Forms add Electric and Water elements plus one exclusive skill each without touching the statline; the Towerwood Form (Rosetower Woods) is a look change only.
How to play Thornblade
Thornblade is a melee Grass DPS built around the Sword Dance trait and a three-skill rotation: Thorny Rain, Thorny Impact and the Elegant Waltz ultimate.
- 1
Run the in-game default set — Thorny Rain, Thorny Impact, Elegant Waltz
Thorny Rain hits up to 3 times in a row at 1s cooldown, Thorny Impact raises crit rate by 15% for 15s on hit, and Elegant Waltz (172 power, always equipped) is the finisher.
- 2
Feed the Sword Dance loop
Every skill cast banks a Sword Dance stack (up to 4, 15s) and each basic attack spends one for 180% extra damage — alternate casts and attacks so stacks never idle.
- 3
Equip the Ferocious Fang and push it to +15
The recommended held item adds 0.7 ATK per level; from +15 with Mark of the Strong: Breezy Plains x10 (Form Contract), its pact effect upgrades Thorny Rain to also grant a Sword Dance stack and fast-forward the next basic attack to its third hit.
- 4
Pick the form that fits the fight
The Thunderstorm Form adds the Electric element and Lightning Impact (same 57-power thrust); the Prismana Form adds Water and Aqua Defense's counter stance with [Lockdown]. Switch with a Morph Orb (community data); base stats never change.
- 5
Pair with Melloblum and assign Homeland work
Melloblum's crit buffs are built for exactly this kit. Out of combat, Grass Lv 3 covers planting and gathering, Artisanship Lv 3 covers handcrafted goods.
Dex entry
The swords made from thorny stems are drawn only when it's time to protect their pack against enemies.
