Way of the blade skill grants buff that increases damage of every skill, and also gives ability to "evade" any physical attack or skill.
Instant Draw is heavy combo skill that increases in hits depending on Ready status you have active.
Void dash is unique ranged skill that scales on movement speed, dashing across target and dealing delayed damage.
Ronin Also has unique off-hand scabbard that is given on job change.

This job's page was never archived before the original wiki went offline. What is above was transcribed from it by another community while it was still up, so it is a copy rather than the source, and it is newer than the rest of this site's inherited material. Every skill, with the text the game itself shows, lives in the database. What the Refuge changed is called out above.
