Description[]
The Hero Blades are a series of legendary blades enhanced and enruned with The Song. Each blade is connected to a respective Hero who bound their soul and Attunement into the weapon. The Hero Blades and the Heroes themselves are connected to the Saintsworn Oath.
Although they purely scale off of the player's element, Hero Blades deal physical slash damage and additionally scales off of the Proficiency trait. Each of the Hero Blades possess a unique critical attack, summoning the fallen heroes to aid dealing elemental damage of their respective type.
