Edgerunner

The Edgerunner is the melee physical class of the Winged Elves, released with the Wings of Rebirth expansion in May 2019 together with the Technician. He fights with a Sword Shield, wears Heavy Armor and spends Shield Energy on some of his skills. What makes him unusual is that he can turn his attacks into physical damage or into any of the five elemental damage types, adapting to whatever his opponent resists least.

The class is male only. Unlike Archers and Clerics, Edgerunners have black head plumes and black wings. Players can choose a detailed model, which cannot be customized, or a normal model that can be customized and looks similar to a Nightshade in human form.

Strength is his main damage attribute; see Stats and Attributes for how attributes work and Equipment for gear.

When old gods lost all their worshippers, they were cast out of the divine realm into the Endless Void, a place even Pan Gu would not enter. Neither gods nor mortals any longer, they were called the Fallen Deities, or simply Devils. Some of their followers went with them and received part of their power. The Edgerunners were Winged Elves who followed their god into the Void and fought for the Devils in the war between Momaganon and Lothranis.

Their leader eventually saw that the Devils were only using them as fodder, so the Edgerunners left the war and their master. In the year PW 4402 a huge wave hit the shores of Celestial Vale, and a force of swift, black-winged soldiers burst out of it.
