Lost Ark Arcanist: What is the Arcanist class?

The Arcanist advanced class is all set to arrive in Arkesia in July 2022, and she will be equipped with various special cards. These cards will help her use a variety of different special effects and her magick to get the job done. It doesn’t matter how messed up the situation is because Arcanist has something in her inventory, such as moves to slice enemies up or throwing cards to call powerful magick attacks. She will be the third advanced mage class after Bard and Sorceress. There is a lot of anticipation behind this class, and this article features her skills in cards and key mechanics to get a better idea about whether this class is for you. 

Class identity and Key mechanics 

To help you understand the skills of the Arcanist better, skills are divided into three categories, including normal skills, ruin skills, and stacking skills. Normal skills can quickly refill the specialty meter of the Arcanist while dealing damage at the same time. Stacking and ruin work as a single skill to launch high damage dealing attacks on enemies. Stacking attacks will build up to four stacks on enemies while ruin skill consumes those stacks for better effect. Need to buy upgrade material for Arcanist but short on Lost ark gold?

To some players, these skills will be enough to deal with most of the content in Lost Ark, but sometimes you need something extra, and that’s where her card deck skill kicks in. With each attack, it fills the card meter of Arcanist, and a card will be drawn automatically when the card meter is filled. These cards can cause some devastating damage. You can store only two cards in the deck at a time and can use them by tapping on the “Z” or “X” keys on the keyboard. You can find the list of all the available Arcanist cards below.

CLASS ENGRAVINGS

One engraving is called “Order of the emperor,” which uses normal skills to enhance the card deck, build the deck meter, and automatically add the emperor card to the deck for some extra damage. The second one is “Empress’s Grace,” which focuses on the stack-building aspects of the characters. It increases the damage dealt by ruin abilities with four stacks.
