Guide for the Sword weapon of the Hunter class in NGS, explaining the skills in detail and then photon arts.

UPDATE: As of the June 7 update, we can freely remove and reallocate skill points in the tree, therefore the small part about requiring multiple skill trees in this guide is not valid anymore. Everything else is still good though! Except the fact it doesn't cover the newest sword skill of course :P which is pretty simple, it just improves your step counter damage and speed slightly, but also makes it track the target vertically.

I really didn't expect it to end up so long though, and damn this was a lot of work. It seemed simple on paper, but then after adding all the details, it started to pile up.

Turn on the youtube subtitles if you prefer text instead of audio guide, or if you listen without sound. I added accurate subtitles :P
