Skills[ | ]
Due to the complexity of the skill system, all skills on this page are displayed at level 1 with no effects applied. Please see the skill page for additional information. Scaling damage values are represented by X.
The Arcanist's skills are split into three categories; Normal Skill, Stacking Skill, and Ruin Skill.
- Normal skills are used to deal damage and quickly build up the Arcanist's Specialty Meter.
- The other two types of skills, Stacking & Ruin, work together to build up impressive attacks.
- Successful attacks with Stacking skills will build up to 4 stacks on an enemy target. When a Ruin skill lands, it consumes stacks built up on the target to greater effect— creating opportunities to deal massive damage.
Specialty Skill[ | ]
- Despite being armed with an arsenal of skills, the Arcanist will sometimes leave things to the fate of the cards with her specialty skill "Card Deck". When the player lands an attack, it charges the Card Meter. Once the meter is completely charged, a card is drawn randomly from the Card Deck, which can be used to varying degrees of devastating effect. Two cards can be stored in the Deck at once, and can be activated by pressing [Z] or [X].
