Warlock

Overview

---

Warlock is the next class progression of the High Wizard class. Warlocks maintain the high-damage potential of their predecessor but they are now equipped with wider Area of Effect skills (Comet), stronger targetted spells (Chain Lightning and Tetra Vortex), and have access to powerful ghost magical damage (Soul Expansion).

On the defensive side, Warlocks now has the ability to be shield themselves from most enemy damage and skills (self-cast White Imprison), and has access to new crowd control debuffs (Stasis, Marsh of Abyss, White Imprison, and Sienna Execrate).

Warlocks can also use Spellbooks which allow them to release memorized spells faster, skipping the usual cooldown and cast time of the memorized spells.

Stats

---

Stat	Amount	Notes
STR	1	For warlocks, STR is mainly just for added weight.
AGI	40~100	AGI affects attack speed (ASPD) and also flee for survivability. More ASPD reduces animation delay between casts.
VIT	80~100	VIT is mainly for survivability. Get a total of 100 VIT for stun immunity.
INT	120~125	This should be your highest stat as a Warlock as INT significantly affects Magic Attack (MATK). INT also helps with SP recovery and variable cast time.
DEX	90~120	DEX reduces Variable Cast Time. VCT is completely removed through stats if (DEX x 2) + INT >= 530. Some gears require 120 DEX.
LUK	30~60	LUK adds extra MATK and status resistance.

Builds

Comet (Neutral)

Comet stands out as one of the skills in the whole game with a very wide Area of Effect (AoE). With the recent Warlock skill improvement, Comet now deals significant consistent damage with no item or partner requisites, making it one of the best farming skills of the class with the AoE factored in. The reworked comet also adds a debuff to targets making them take 50% more damage for a short period making it a good combo for other offensive skills. Comet also deals neutral magical damage which is a good element compared to other elements as it does consistent damage and minimal weaknesses. There are multiple alternative builds for this like Kardui Ear, Laphine Shield [1], Tree Sprout and Laphine Pray Shoes [1]; and Old Magic Stone Hat [1] with Document Mage [1] or Record of Mage [1] and Record of Mage vol.2 [1]. Warlock and High Wizard II enchants and D.Y Card will help with damage. Other standalone equipment that can help would be Geffenia Ice Magic Tool [1], Destroyer Boots [1] and Rose Quartz Shield [1].

Chain Lightning (Wind)

One of the higher DPS builds for Warlocks focuses on spamming Chain Lightning since Chain Lightning has no cooldown. For best damage, use equipment or cards that boost the damage of Wind elemental magic and Chain Lightning damage like Circlet of Time(Warlock) [1], Elvira Card, Ring of Pazuzu [1], Eye of the Storm, Mamaragan and Chain Shadows. Critical for this build is very high reduction in after-cast delay to maximize spammability mixed in with some ASPD.

Soul Expansion/Intensification (Ghost)

Warlocks standout for one of the few classes with ghost magical damage through the Soul Expansion skill. Intensification is a buff which if casted, grants +200% ghost magical damage for a short duration to help with boss fights. Soul Expansion is also an AoE skill with low after-cast delay so it is useful for farming. If cast on a target under White Imprison, Soul Expansion will deal double damage on the imprisoned target. Equipments to target are Biolab Aquarius Crown [1] with Staff of Miracle [2], Soul Expansion Ring [1], Telekinetic Orb, and Phantom Ears.

Water Ball/Jack Frost (Water)

Thanks to the introduction of Pororoca Shoes [1], Warlocks can now deal workable water elemental damage with Water Ball. The Pororoca Shoes grant the user access to Deluge (which is a requisite for Water Ball), while also adding damage modifiers for Water Ball and increasing Water magical damage, making it a core item for this build as a combo with an upgraded La’cryma Stick [2]. Other water-based skills for Warlocks are Frosty Misty as a combo with Jack Frost, Tetra Vortex (Water), and Storm Gust. For added damage, you can use Circlet of Time(Warlock) [1], Faceworm Larva Card and double Headless Mule Card. You can consider swapping to Awakened Blue Crystal Staff [2] for added Jack Frost spam and damage.

Crimson Rock (Fire)

Crimson Rock deals very good AoE fire damage with relatively low delay. It is one of the beginner friendly builds since fire magical damage is good against Undead and Earth monsters who occupy most of the low-level dungeons. Fire magical damage is also relatively easy to boost with relatively cheap gear like Alchemy Glove [1], Crimson Mora Set, and Mavka Card. To bypass the cooldown, Spell Book(Crimson Rock) can be used to cast multiple Crimson Rocks. The True Kathryne Keyron Card is essential for optimizing this build. Warlock High Wizard I stone set, Nightmare Ancient Mummy Card, and Crimson Shadows can also be used to increase Crimson Rock damage while Devil Flame Manteau can reduce cooldown with Rutilus Stick-OS [2]. Crimson Rose Stick [2], Biolab Aquarius Crown [1] and Zodiac Boots (Mage) [1]; and Old Magic Stone Hat [1] with Document Mage [1] are one of the choices end-game builds. Fire magic deals additional damage to stoned targets.

Skill Synergies:

• Cast Frost Misty first before Jack Frost. If the target is under Frost debuff, Jack Frost will deal increased damage.
• Intensification increases ghost magic damage for a duration. If the target is under White Imprison, Soul Expansion deals added damage.
• Sienna Exercate has a high cance to stone curse an enemy and Crimson Rock being a fire skill, has bonus damage against stone cursed enemies.
• Summon Fire/Water/Lightning/Stone Ball is a pre-requisite to every cast of Tetra Vortex.
• Reading Spell Book allows you to memorize spells through Spell Books (sold separately). To memorize a spell, press the Spell Book in your inventory or shortcut bar. Freezing Spell increases your memory slots. You can release memorized spells through Release.
• Cast comet before spamming any main offensive skill. Comet adds a debuff to the enemy mob that amplifies damage received.

Skill Tips:

• You can self-cast White Imprison to shield yourself against most enemy damage, including Earthquake. Press shift and left-click yourself to self-cast white imprison.
• Drain Life can be an alternative to HP Potions, it can heal you fully with enough damage.
• You can control the element of Tetra Vortex depending on the summoned balls.
• Max Radius for easier kiting with monsters. Comet can hit off-screen monsters.
• Add Spellbooks in your hot-key bar for easier memorizing of spells.
