Hey folks,

I'm only lvl 40ish, but I though I'd start sharing info about this class. Some of the mechanics are a bit confusing.

Card Mechanic and abilities

LVL30 - Draw
The cards are picked randomly using the Draw ability.
You can choose the target for the card.

To help me remember the cards, I've split them into 3 categories:

Damage Cards

• The balance – Increase Damage OUTPUT per 10%
• The Bole – Decrease Damage INPUT per 10%

Haste Cards

• The Arrow – Increases target's attack speed by 10%. Duration: 15s
• The Spear – Reduces target's action recast time by 20%. Duration: 20s

Resource Management Cards

• The Ewer – Reduces MP cost of target's spells by 20%. Duration: 20s
• The Spire – Reduces TP cost of target's weaponskills by 20%. Duration: 20s

LVL35 - Royal Road
After Draw, instead of using the card on a player, you can consume it to enhance your next draw.

• Damage Cards – Next card has a potency of 150%.
• Haste Cards – Next card's effect has an AoE with 50% potency.
• Resource Management Cards – Next card's effect has double duration.

LVL40 – Spread
You save a card for later. Can only be used in battle. Both the draw and Spread must be use in battle.
