'''[A swordsman who mastered the power of Rune and Magic]'''
===Background===
{{Background
|NA=
A swordsman who uses both his sword and rune magic to fight.
Using both sword aura and magic can be difficult as they are two completed different forms of mana.
To circumvent the inefficient method of containing two separate energy in one body, Elsword develops a way to imbue magic into his sword, and earns the title, Rune Slayer.

하나의 그릇에 검기와 마력을 함께 담으면 언젠가는 넘치는 법.<br>
엘의 보석과의 동조라는 묘한 체질 덕분인지 모두 높은 경지에 이르렀지만 계속되는 성장을 통해 결국 한계에 부딪힌 엘소드. 마법에 대한 재능이 부족했던 것일까? 짧은 후회 끝에 엘소드는 자신의 선택을 부정하지 않겠다고 다짐한다.
"''내가 결정한 길이야. 그러니 앞으로의 길도 내가 만들면 돼!''"<br>
검과 마법의 섬세한 균형감 사이에서 고민하던 엘소드는 고대 마법 문자 룬을 사용해 검에 마법을 담는 방법을 터득하게 된다.<br>
두 힘의 조화를 이루어낸 엘소드는 마법 문자를 이용해 검술과 마법을 빠르게 연계하고 마법을 한층 더 강화시키는데 성공한다.
|KRT=
If you try to put sword energy and magic together in one vessel, it will eventually overflow. Perhaps thanks to El's strange constitution of synchronizing with the Jewel, Elsword reached a high level, but eventually reached its limit through continued growth. Did he lack talent for magic? After a brief moment of regret, Elsword pledges not to deny his choice.
“It’s the path I decided on. So I can create the path for the future too!”
Elsword, struggling with the delicate balance between sword and magic, learns how to put magic into a sword using the ancient magic character runes. Achieving harmony between the two powers, he uses magic characters to quickly link swordsmanship and magic and succeeds in further strengthening his magic.

== Rune Slayer  ==
=== Speciality  ===
The '''Rune Slayer''' combines the best of both attack types—physical and magical. Elsword becomes this refined Magic Knight once he acquires more advanced magical skills to cripple and dominate his foes. Advancing to a '''Rune Slayer''' provides Elsword with more improved combos and new rune attacks that can be summoned with a flick of his fingers. Keep your enemies at a distance using runes or charge in with your sword!


== Second Class Advancement ==
Completing the following advancement quest or using the Item Mall item: '''Rune Slayer's Mark''' [[File:Job Change - {{PAGENAME}}.png|30px]] will change your job to '''{{PAGENAME}}'''.

===Background===
While traveling, Elsword decides to practice his magic skills so that he can become stronger. He goes to Vannessa in Velder for help, and she explained to him that he can start using runes instead of fireballs to increase his power. Soon Elsword started to use the runes he got from training, and this allowed him to become a more stronger magic knight, thus giving him the name, [[Rune Slayer]].

Elsword casts a rune directly in front of him and then expands it, making it explode and lifting targets in range into the air. Can be looped by using actives or having high Action Speed.
After the standard {{CDR}}{{CX}} combo, explode a rune beneath the enemy to launch them up once more. The rune can be delayed for a short time by holding down {{CZ}}. If fully charged, the rune will not launch grounded opponents.

|  
While airborne, Elsword casts a rune in the air and then propels it downward at a 45 degree angle, covering a moderate distance. Unlike the old version, before launching it down, Elsword pops a rune out, stunning targets and making them vulnerable for a combo.
All fireballs used in combos are replaced with runes.
*''Post KR 2/14 patch:''
*{{CDR}}{{CZ}}{{CZ}}{{CX}}'s runes have infinite piercing unlike [[Magic Knight]]'s fireball.

== Trivia ==
*In his concept art, his initial design was rejected as it had too many similarities to [[Magic Knight]]. They then completely redesign his outfit and personality to be more rugged and laid-back rather than knightly and serious like [[Lord Knight]].
*On '''Rune Slayer''''s runes, text reading ''"The Time Is Now"'' can be seen under the main symbol in small text.
*Despite [[Sword Fire]] being moved to [[Magic Knight]] and [[Lodestar]] taking its place, it is still listed as one of '''Rune Slayer''''s Primary Skills.

== Trivia ==
*Upon advancing to a '''Rune Slayer''', all normal Fireball combos are replaced with Runes.
**These Runes travel much faster and are larger than [[Magic Knight|Elsword's]] old Fireball attacks.
*Even though Rune Slayer's main rune (the number 3 in a circling dragon) is divided into two tattoos (3 on his left shoulder and the dragon on his right), he never uses both of his hands to use the main rune in his skills/attacks, so the dividing of it is mostly just for looks.
**The writing below the rune tattoo says "The Time Is Near".
*Notice how in the concept art that his original design was built up from [[Magic Knight]]'s, but then that idea was dropped completely, and they changed it to make him have the most unique design from all his other jobs.
*'''Rune Slayer''' and [[Infinity Sword]] are the only Elsword classes that visibly smile when idle.
*[[Rune Slayer]] was one of the paths chosen by the players to be revamped in 2/14/13 during the series of Class revamp patches.

After a couple of battles, Elsword came to a conclusion that he has reached a wall.
Perhaps it was obvious as he was trying to contain both sword aura and mana in one container.
After a short regret, Elsword shook his head. This was his own path that he chose. Though he may not have been truly gifted, he did not want to deny this choice he made.
If there's no path, he can forge one. Just like when he first discovered his talent, perhaps hints can be found in the battlefield.

As he battles against the Nasods, Elsword realizes that what he needs is balance. A careful balance would enable him to utilize his limited container more effectively. But for that, he needed a new method that did not exist before.
'Magic usually requires language to activate, but when you fight face-to-face, it's hard to focus enough to speak, right? Why don't you try using magic circles or symbols that don't require you to say anything?'
Though she nags a lot, you can always rely on Aisha for magic advice. Let's find Allegro, as he knows some magic runes.

Tips and Details

  • Strangely, Rune Slayer's >>ZZX combo does not have increased damage on an enemy affected by his Magic Chain passive, despite the former being a magical attack.
  • Unlike most other magical projectiles, Rune Slayer's Runes cannot be reflected completely. The runes will still go past enemies but will not deal damage if reflected.
    • Allies behind will receive damage from 'reflected' rune.


Trivia

  • In his concept art, his initial design was rejected as it had too many similarities to Magic Knight. They then completely redesign his outfit and personality to be more rugged and laid-back rather than knightly and serious like Lord Knight.
  • On Rune Slayer's runes, text reading "The Time Is Now" can be seen under the main symbol in small text.
  • Despite Sword Fire being moved to Magic Knight and Lodestar taking its place, it is still listed as one of Rune Slayer's Primary Skills.
