Assessment

This section contains subjective remarks about this class. Relevancy of information and recommended weapons can quickly change over time. Use substantial discretion before heavily investing resources.

The Nekomancer is a hybrid class with two distinct playstyles depending on whether or not  Cat's MeowGain Cat's MeowUsing MP to gain buffs
Duration: Indefinite. Sharp boost to allies' stats.
(Consumes 3 MPMagic power is amplified
every turn.
Hit to caster's stats for 3 turns when Cat's Meow ends on recast or when MPMagic power is amplified
is 0).
At level 30:
Caster's stats no longer take a hit when Cat's MeowUsing MP to gain buffs
ends on recast or when MPMagic power is amplified
is 0.
Cooldown on recast reduced to 0 turns. is active. When the skill is active, the class becomes a team buffer, offering a wide set of virtually undispellable stats to the entire party. When the skill is inactive, the class becomes a selfish attacker, with the ability to hit all enemies with bonus damage and dishes out strong charge attacks.

Regardless of the playstyle, however, the Nekomancer relies on proper management of the charge bar and its unique status, the MPMagic power is amplified
. Fortunately, managing both becomes easier when progressing through master levels.

More mundanely, the Nekomancer can also be seen as direct upgrade of the Mystic, and can be used similar to the class for farming content on auto, such as Angel Halo.

Notable Main Weapons

• Lunatic Broom, the Nekomancer is a superb main hand option due to making MPMagic power is amplified
  management easier.
  • Nightbender's Humanity - Speeding up charge bar gain is a solid option - it can be used for Lunatic Broom's charge attack to gain MPMagic power is amplified
    or consumed by  MoonshadowConvert your charge bar to MPMagic power is amplified

  • Nightbender's Divinity - Additional MPMagic power is amplified
    is excellent - so long as there are a good amount of buffing and healing skills available in the party to trigger it.
  • Nightbender's Devilry - Though easy enough to maintain due to Lunatic Broom's regular infusions of MPMagic power is amplified
    , the heal every turn is tiny and not worth considering except in very specific cases (e.g. against foes that inflict both ZombifiedReceives DMG if healed
    and SleepCan't attack and takes big DMG (Ends upon taking DMG)
    Takes 25% more damage).
• Kapilavastu (the predecessor to Lunatic Broom) to is also a decent option, especially when using  Fate ForeseenConvert entire charge bar to MPMagic power is amplified
