Based on popular Chinese legends that inspired a multi-award-winning television series, several movies, novels, and a phenomenally successful franchise of games -- including the most recent MMORPG Gujian Qitan Online -- Swords of Legends Onlineintroduces a fully remastered version of the highly-anticipated saga to new audiences.

Swords of Legends Online explores an eons-long clash between the forces of light and darkness. Only those chosen by the spirit of the legendary sword buried deep within themselves may unlock the powers necessary to banish the fog of evil, death, and destruction that threaten to consume this tempestuous world. Players will become absorbed in the deep, vivid visuals and narrative as they hone their combat skills, form alliances, defeat fearsome enemies and bosses that spawn throughout the dangerous dungeons and world maps, enemy factions, and even the gods themselves.

Players may choose from up to six playable classes, each with their own unique skills, weapons, armor, and specializations. These heroes can take to the skies on flying mounts to visit their own, customizable islands, and engage in thrilling quests, multiplayer dungeons, 20-player raids, and an abundance of PVP modes.

Soon, players throughout North and Latin America and Europe will be able to explore the game’s rich, tumultuous story, steeped in poetic Chinese lore, and test their might in thrilling action combat as they become embroiled in the struggles between light and darkness.   

Today we will take a closer look at the Summoner, one of six playable classes in the game and perfect for players who like to hang back and let others handle the dangerous stuff.

Why risk life and limb by heading into battle yourself, when you can summon powerful and mystical creatures to fight in your stead? The Summoner class is dangerous from behind the lines, providing support to allies and conjuring magical spirits to battle their foes!

The Summoner’s strength is drawn from a deep connection to the natural world, which they channel through a magical harp charged by the elements. Living in peace atop the Heavenly Ridge, the priests of the Liao clan are devoted to the goddess Nüwa and the spiritual realm from which they summon mighty beasts to aid them in battle.

Every class in Swords of Legends Online has two Masteries in which to specialize. The Summoner class Masteries are as follows:

• Nature’s Wrath: Mother Nature can be a devastating force in the hands of a capable Summoner, who can unleash powerful spirits like the fox-like Mingshi or distract enemies with the Golden Feather.
• Nuwa’s Blessing: A summoner can strike up powerful tunes to channel spiritual energy into a positive force through their elemental harp, like summoning the healing fairy Moluo to boost their allies and keep them in tip-top shape on the battlefield.

The Summoner is one of six character classes playable in Swords of Legends Online. The full list of classes is as follows: the Reaper, the Berserker, the Spellsword, the Bard, the Spearmaster, and the Summoner.
