On July 20, 2022, the Arcanist Advanced Class will arrive in Arkesia. The Arcanist imbues special cards with her Magick and uses them for a wide variety of effects. From slicing up enemies with a deluge of thrown cards to summoning powerful Magick attacks or team effects from the cards themselves, the Arcanist has a trick up her sleeve for every situation.
Cooldown -10% and MP Recovery Speed increase +20% for 30s.
The Arcanist’s skills are split into three categories; Normal, Stacking, and Ruin. 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.
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]. Find the full list of Cards in the deck below.

Like the other Advanced Classes, the Arcanist has two unique Class Engravings that enhance different aspects of the character. The Order of the Emperor Engraving enhances the Card Deck through Normal Skills building up additional Deck Meter and adding the Emperor Card into the Deck which deals massive amounts of damage. If you prefer the stack building aspect of the class, Empress’s Grace grants increased damage when using a Ruin ability after generating 4 stacks, along with MP recovery to keep the deluge of abilities flowing.
