A blog post on the website of Lost Ark’s Western publisher Amazon discusses the manner in which the class is used ahead of this game’s July release Lost Ark Gold. The Arcanist is about imbuing the cards in a deck with powerful magical power to cause damage to enemies, in the Gambit style.

Arcanist abilities come in three distinct varieties: Normal skills stacking, Stacking, and Ruin skills.Normal abilities aren’t fancy however they do deal damage and can build up a distinct card Deck meter. Ruin and Stacking skills, however, are what makes the Arcanist make a mark. Stacking abilities can create four stacks on an enemy target. If an Ruin skill strikes that target, the stacks are consumed, resulting in the potential for massive damage.

The Arcanist’s specialization known as Card Deck allows her players to choose random card from the deck, that can be used to create various effects, ranging from granting an increased speed of attack to making any attack have a better chance of being a critical strike. Card Deck players can save two cards at one time and use them as they want, making powerful combinations.

Two major class engravings are available for players to choose from. Order of the Empire puts the emphasis on Normal skills as well as the Card Deck mechanic, giving Normal attacks extra damage, and Card Deck replenishment. The class also adds a powerful card called the Emperor to the Arcanist’s deck. The other engraving in the class, Empress’s Grace, is specifically designed to use the arcanist’s Stack and Ruin mechanics to do larger amounts of damage.
