Order of the Blade

Rather than augmenting themselves or focusing on a specific type of monster, order of the blade blood hunters focus on their weaponry, using crimson rites to their fullest, and using their enemies to fuel their weapon. They gain abilities based on how many monsters they have slain. Order of the blade blood hunters believe that hunting specific monsters is a waste of valuable skills, so they focus on their combat abilities.
