Guide and advice from the Spiritist on Lost Ark
Written by : Scudik
PRESENTATION :
Welcome to this guide to the spiritualist.
If you're looking for engaging gameplay that deserves a minimum of thought while typing, or even incredible burst optimization, if you like a high-risk/high-reward character, and of course if you've always dreamed of playing a dragon ball character (well, you're on the wrong game for that, but on the right class), you've come to the right place!
The spiritualist works with her resource, KI. It's quite mobile and dynamic. It's played by managing this resource and trying to capitalize as much as possible on the contribution of its buffs before making big moves.
Depending on whether you play with one or the other engraving, you'll either be a super sayan putting all your energy into a single successful genkidama, which must not miss its target. Or you'll be one of the game's most mobile classes, with never a dull moment.
During your levelling, you'll discover KI management. Your basic Ki bar is full, so if you empty it completely, you have to wait for it to fill up completely before you can use your skills again. But don't panic, that's what your identity skill is for. Your Ki explosion (W) is there to give you numerous boosts, including the recovery of some or all of your KI.
This 3-stage super sayan form doesn't stop there: it also boosts your attack speed and damage, and reduces your cooldown time.
So you'll alternate between phases without ki explosion, restoring your KI via this, tapping then Ki explosion to go into phase 2, tapping then Ki explosion into phase 3 etc. etc....
In groups, the Spiritist is a real asset, her permanent damage buff being virtually unique in the game (only the Scout will offer an equivalent). She's also one of the few characters to offer debuff cleansing. (Inner Ki discharge)
If you like to put everything into a single burst, all your energy into a single genkidama, the Esprit robuste special is for you.
If, on the other hand, you want constant gameplay where you have to hammer the enemy, without respite, this is the Overflowing Energy special!
ENGRAVING 1: Robust Spirit!
Esprit Robuste causes your Explosion ki to go straight from stage 0 to stage 3, increasing your Ki regeneration drastically in this state, and boosting your damage a little more.
The Sturdy Spirit specialization is based on optimizing your first "World Anihilation" Awakening by engaging your level 3 explosion ki followed by an appropriate buff (straight tackle) and then awake:
This will require you to know the right timing, so that the boss doesn't dodge. But when you do hit, under these conditions, this skill is quite simply the most damaging skill in the game in a single shot.
The rest of your gameplay will alternate between buffs and high-damage attacks. To illustrate, here are your buffs:
And here's your damage:
On the stats side, we're obviously capitalizing on the specialization, since it incredibly increases the damage of our awakening. And in the secondary stat of critical, to obviously try to have a critical often enough. An ideal ratio would be around 70% spe, 30% crit.
For tripods, here are our recommendations:
Soul Master | LATree
ENGRAVING 2 :Overflowing energy!
The Overflowing Energy specialization prevents your Ki from falling below 1 and increases the damage you inflict when your KI is below 30%.
The principle is simple: you'll try to consume your KI constantly, with as few empty phases as possible, and you'll be just fine, as you'll no longer have the huge problem of not being able to launch skills, as your KI will never reach 0.
Obviously, your Burst will be much lower than in the other specialization. This engraving is less popular than the other, for a mixture of reasons. It doesn't conjure up huge numbers at once, and it can resemble the gameplay of a lambda martialist. On this special you won't be playing the genkidama (world anihilation), but the second awake, giving you the satisfaction of sending a father-son kamehameha instead.
The principle of rotation between buffs and damage skills remains the same - you'll alternate between the two, but you'll need to hold back much less for a burst and no need to regenerate your energy.
And on the build side you'll use the same tripods:
Soul Master | LATree
In stats, you'll prefer 70% of speed, so that your recharge times come back faster, and 30% of crit as a secondary stat.
