Description

The Rune Caster wields both magic and machinery with great skill. Mari is also very skilled in defending and evading as she dislikes direct combat with her foes. Utilizing machines fueled by her specially produced magic stone, she showcases new battle tactics that have been previously unheard of.

While coolly assessing the situation on the battlefield, Mari strategically sets up her machines, driving enemies into a corner and exposing their position.


Unlocking

As a 1st job, Rune Caster does not need to be unlocked. Mari starts this job.

Machinery Summons

Keystrokes Name Effect
C+Arrow L Cannon I Mari creates a small blue turret that fires a cannonball that travels downwards. The turret can be destroyed by the opponent's attacks and will expire after 6 shots have been fired. Only 2 turrets may be deployed on the field at the same time. Attempting to deploy the 3rd one will remove the 1st one. There is a cooldown of 10 seconds in PvP after creating the machine.

[Deadly Cannon]
When affected by Deadly Test, Mari instead deploys a white turret that fires without delay 3 cannonballs that spread and travel a fair distance. The turret can be destroyed by the opponent's attacks and will expire after 11 shots have been fired. Only 4 turrets may be deployed on the field at the same time. Attempting to deploy the 5th one will remove the 1st one.

C+Arrow R Cannon II Mari creates a small red turret that fires a cannonball in the air which travels downwards in an arc fashion and leaves burning embers on contact with the ground. The turret can be destroyed by the opponent's attacks and will expire after 6 shots have been fired. Only 2 turrets may be deployed on the field at the same time. Attempting to deploy the 3rd one will remove the 1st one. There is a cooldown of 10 seconds in PvP after creating the machine.
C+Arrow D Protection Mari creates a small construct that splits in half periodically to generate a blue wall of lightning between its 2 pieces. Only 1 protection may be deployed in the field at the same time. Attempting to deploy another one will remove the 1st one. There is a cooldown of 10 seconds in PvP after creating the machine.

[Deadly Protection]
When affected by Deadly Test, Mari instead creates a small construct that splits in half periodically to generate a red wall of lightning between its 2 pieces. Only 4 protections may be deployed on the field at the same time. Attempting to deploy the 5th one will remove the 1st one.

C+Arrow U Summon W.D.W. Mari attracts screws to summon the Wing Drive Weapon. However, when she is charging, she is a sitting duck as she can only cancel the charging pose with a skill.

W.D.W. (Wing Drive Weapon)

Rune Caster WDW

W.D.W. summoned by Mari.

The Wing Drive Weapon or simply W.D.W. is an array of blades that follow behind Mari and improve her attacks. The blades are usable for 20 seconds after which they will disappear.

TIP: The blades are usable for 30 seconds if they were summoned when Mari was under the effect of Deadly Test.

Keystrokes Name Effect
ZZZ Basic Combo Mari swings her W.D.W. once then thrusts them forward.
Arrow U+Z Jump Attack Mari jumps and swings her W.D.W. in an arc fashion.
Arrow RArrow R+Z Dash Attack While dashing, Mari thrusts her W.D.W. forward.

Stance Change

TIP: Like the Rama job, Rune Caster has a special ability called Arcane Mode which allows Mari to use numerous abilities by a combination of buttons.

Keystrokes Name Effect
XX Stance Change Mari summons a Nano Machine, dealing damage nearby and allowing her to summon a Mana Shield or attack the opponent with the Nano Machine. This ability will wear off if a command is not used.
XX+Arrow U Mana Shield Mari envelopes herself in a shield made of blue flames that cause damage to be taken from MP instead of HP. The shield lasts 10 seconds although there is no cooldown and thus it can be summoned again to create a new one or to refresh the cooldown of the old one.
XX+Arrow R Arcane Star Mari summons a Nano Machine that strikes around her with a 5-shaped star pattern. Cooldown of 3 seconds will be applied in PvP when using this move.
XX+Arrow L Arcane Burst Mari summons a Nano Machine in front of her which explodes on contact with an opponent or after few seconds. Cooldown of 3 seconds will be applied in PvP when using this move.
XX+Arrow D Arcane Fall Mari launches a Nano Machine in the air which locks on and crushes upon the opponent, exploding and damaging them. Each opponent in the range of this attack will be targeted by a Nano Machine. If there are no targets, the Nano Machine will simply strike forward. Cooldown of 3 seconds will be applied in PvP when using this move.
