== Behavior ==
Blade Dancers with [[Swordlance|Swordlances]] will [[Footwork (Skill)|Footwork]] away from you. Those who have [[Shamshir|Shamshirs]] will use it to get close to someone vulnerable and attack him.

==Tips==

* High accuracy allows them to reliably hit evasive characters.
* They deal high damage, but are also evasive and tough due to [[Nimble]].
* They will [[Overwhelm]] you, unless you are faster, use [[Adrenaline (20 fatigue)|Adrenaline]], [[Throwing Net|nets]], [[Dazed (Status Effect)|daze]] or [[Staggered (Status Effect)|stagger]].
* [[Throwing Net|Nets]] make them easier to hit.
* Avoid their area attacks.
* Attack them with [[Ranged Weapons|ranged weapons]], preferably [[Throwing Weapons|throwing]]. [[Anticipation]] with decent ranged defense makes them difficult to hit from long range.
* If you can not use ranged weapons, like when sworn the Oath of Honor, [[spears]], [[Backstabber]], [[Fast Adaptation]] and high melee skill can be somewhat useful.
* They lack [[Resilient]], so poisons and [[Dazed (Status Effect)|Daze]] can be effective. [[Nimble]] doesn't reduce poison damage.
