At a glance

Changes from: Raider

How it plays

The Storm Walker

The Dracomancer is a powerful evolution of the Raider , only the best will have the skills needed to ascend above all others.

These strong warriors carry the legacy of the Dragons of the Past at the tip of its spear, fighting in a furious way while changing their stance to focus on each strength.

Greatest changes from Raider: More offensive oriented, tools to negate any kind of enemy, extremely versatile

New Mechanics

The main defining features of the Dracomancer are:

The use of both systems is essential for a Dracomancer to fight enemies with efficiency and cover different needs of an eventual party.

Being allowed to use Dragon Orbs .
The two stances, Dragon Pact and Dragon Force .

Dragon Orbs

There are 3 types of Orbs: Claw Orbs That boost the offensive powers, Wing Orbs that boost the defensive powers and Scale Orbs that allow the Dracomancer to transform into a specific Dragon for a duration.

The Different Orbs can be seen on the Draco Orbs Page. They also consume the entire HP/SP when equipped. Dragon Orbs also provide unique colors for Dracomancers.

Stances

To use specific offensive skills, a Dracomancer needs to change its stances.

Dragon Pact (Small dragon symbols spin around the player) will allow the use of Dragon Claw and Dragon Breath , providing a well defined combo with a reliable engagement potential.

Dragon Force (small spear tip symbols spin around the player) will allow the use of Crescent Dive and Geirskogul , skills focused on raw damage potential and high offensive power.

A strong Dracomancer will find ways to change between stances as needed and using its large arsenal of defensive skills to fight any enemy.
