[[Category:Second Classes]]
= Crusader =

The '''Crusader''' is the second-class advancement of the [[Swordsman]], a holy knight who fuses shield mastery, spear combat and divine power. On Vortex Legends the Crusader is built around a '''three-branch specialization system''' inspired by the classic Protection, Retribution and Holy roles:

* '''Tank''' — the party's wall, soaking damage with shields, reflection and ranged mitigation while striking back with shield skills.
* '''DPS''' — melee damage through spear critical builds and Holy cross attacks.
* '''Support''' — party healing, damage redirection and protective blessings.

The branches are a matter of priority, not a cage: skill points can be spent freely, so hybrid builds remain fully playable. Crusaders advance into the [[Paladin]] after second class.

The Tank Crusader is the protector of the group. It blocks and reflects physical blows, blunts ranged fire and turns its shield into both armor and weapon, generating threat with shield strikes rather than a separate taunt.

The DPS Crusader deals melee damage along two independent lines: a spear critical build that leans on inherited Knight spear skills, and a Holy line that branches from [[Demon Bane]] into either a physical or a magical cross attack. The two Holy crosses rely on opposite stats and are not built together.

== Inherited skills ==
The Crusader keeps all [[Swordsman]] skills, including [[Riding]] and [[Cavalry Mastery]] for mounted combat, and carries a handful of Acolyte arts such as [[Heal]], [[Cure]] and [[Demon Bane]] that feed the Support and Holy lines. Inherited spear skills like [[Spear Mastery]] underpin the DPS branch.

== Advancement ==
The Crusader advances to the [[Paladin]]. See [[Transcendent Classes]].
