The swordsman in My Own Swordsman boasts high output and agile movements, making it a crucial class for PvP takedowns and single-target boss battles. However, for newcomers, there is still a certain entry barrier to cultivating a qualified swordsman. Today, I will share with you the beginner's guide to the swordsman in My Own Swordsman: A Decade's Promise. To get started, one must learn about skill combos, equipment, and task priorities, growing from a wooden sword boy in Qixia Town into a renowned swordsman of the Jianghu. This article will detail the core gameplay of the swordsman from a practical perspective, helping you quickly get up to speed and establish an advantage.

At the beginning in Qixia Town, main quests are key to leveling up. After starting, head straight to Tong Xiangyu at the Tongfu Inn to accept the "cleaning the inn" task, clearing the tables and chairs in the lobby to obtain a novice robe and 50 copper. At level 3, go west to defeat the ruffian, using spacebar to jump and dodge slashing attacks during the battle; after winning, pick up the "ruffian's money bag" for 20 copper. At level 5, learn the triple jump in the back yard of the inn by pressing the spacebar three times in succession to jump onto the roof, triggering the "light footwork beginner" achievement, which is a critical operation for subsequent tasks. Before level 10, be sure to complete the "Qixia Town bulletin board" side quest to unlock the first transformation item "Ranger Token" in advance, while also completing the task of helping Scholar Lü find his book - after accepting the task at the inn's bookshelf, use light footwork to jump up the big tree outside the town to retrieve the book, rewarding "Scholar Lü's notes" (30 minutes experience +10%), significantly boosting the efficiency of leveling up.

Skill point allocation needs to be planned in stages. In the rookie phase, allocate 1 point to Clear Wind Break as a transition, then increase basic attack at level 6 with Iron Fist. During the Ranger phase of the first transformation, add 16 points each to Double Swallow Slash, Ice Swallow Slash, and Falling Goose Slash, meeting the conditions for the second transformation. After transforming into a swordsman, prioritize fully upgrading Pursuing Wind Sword (rush + armor break), Thunderwind Sword (slow + multi-hit damage), and Returning Wind Dance Willow (five-hit combo + 20% crit rate), with the passive Heart Sword Clarity (resistance +15%) being a must-have. In practical combat, the PVE combo is: start with Pursuing Wind Sword to break defense → stack electrification with Thunderwind Sword → follow up with 3 normal attacks and then use Returning Wind Dance Willow to clear the area → finish off low-HP enemies with Heavenly Mountain Divine Light. For PvP, use Acupoint Blocking to reduce resistance, followed by Snow Treading without Trace for instant movement, linking with Heaven and Earth Splitting Three Hits for burst damage, and using Wandering Tour to accelerate evacuation when low on HP, forming a complete output combo of control-burst-escape.

Equipment choice directly affects the upper limit of your output. Use the Azure Frost Sword (5% lifesteal) rewarded from quests before level 30, enhancing it to +8 to increase base attack by 20%. At level 50, switch to the Black Iron Sword (attack power +25%), obtained through advancing the Black Iron dropped by the "Thief Leader" in Apricot Grove. Prioritize the "Ghost Mask Helmet" (crit +15%) and "Black Tortoise Armor" (dodge +8%) for defensive gear, and choose the "Heavenly Silkworm Boots" to boost attack speed. Gem inlay follows the principle of "Red Jade + Amethyst for weapons, Turquoise + Yellow Crystal for armor," prioritizing a 55% crit rate threshold to stably trigger the "Sword Qi Rampage" passive (additional 50% damage on crit). Daily, run the "Tongfu Inn Secret Passage" instance to obtain enhancement stones, and exchange guild contributions for "Refinement Protection Charms" to prevent failure in enhancements above +12.

Throughout the game, the growth of a swordsman cannot be separated from precise skill execution and resource planning. Remember the combo mechanisms, and make good use of light footwork and terrain advantages to rise quickly in the Jianghu. It is recommended to spend 30 minutes daily practicing combo feel, familiarizing yourself with the pre- and post-motions of each skill, as this is the essential path to becoming a top-tier swordsman!
