Some of the combat schools on offer in Dune Awakening might require you to guess a little bit about what they’re capable of if you’re not keyed in to the IP. Others, such as the Swordmaster school being previewed in Funcom’s latest video, are pretty easy to figure out. The Swordmaster will let your character master a sword. You will be very good at swinging a sharpened piece of metal around.

Not only does the Swordmaster school introduce methods to quickly counter melee attacks, “alternative attacks” to surprise opponents, and close the distance on foes, but it also has a skill that will let characters deflect bullets because sci-fantasy nonsense, along with an ability that will help mitigate hydration. It’s called Controlled Breathing, by the way, not Drink Some Gatorade.

Of course all of this sword swingy can be best improved by augmenting other combat schools, as Funcom has pointed out in prior videos, but for those who really like bringing a sword to a gun fight, you’ve got one very obvious choice.
