    . It is the primary reason to use Warlock over Chaos Ruler, but usually requires a team to already be operating near the damage cap, as well as considerable DA/TA to fully optimize.

For most players, Warlock should be a lower priority than Chaos Ruler because of the importance of landing ATK/DEF Down and the value of Delay in many fights, but Warlock can be the better choice for players who can use both Chaser and Dark Haze, or for providing both a direct Blind and backup ATK/DEF Down in HL content where a Chaos Ruler is already present.

Notable Main Weapons

Warlock does not have any real main weapon dependence, and can take whatever weapon suits the fight and team.

  • Weapon s 1040412200 note.jpg Demonic Longstaff improves Warlock's damage skill performance, but faces extremely strong competition for the mainhand weapon slot. Its ability to raise the skill cap for the whole team may make it worth considering in certain skill-damage heavy teams.
    • Arcanist's Humanity - Increasing the skill damage cap for the MC only is merely OK as an effect. This emblem increases in value after Master Level 20, as the decreased damage skill cooldown for the MC means the emblem will be utilised much more.
    • Arcanist's Divinity - Turns Ability Killstreak.png BounceGreat elemental damage to a foe based on the number of buffs and debuffs the foe has (Damage cap: ~580,000). into the DEF Down equivalent of Ability Arrow.png Rain of Arrows150-300% elemental damage to all foes.. OK as a choice, but locks you into the use of Ability Killstreak.png BounceGreat elemental damage to a foe based on the number of buffs and debuffs the foe has (Damage cap: ~580,000)..
    • Arcanist's Devilry - Significantly increases the effect time of Ability Choke.png ChaserAll allies gain Status 1383.png20% Bonus DMGDeals bonus DMG for one-foe one-ally attacks

      . The Demonic Longstaff's best emblem in most cases.
  • Daggers and staves that deal conditional skill damage or bonus damage on charge attack will be enhanced by Warlock's raised skill cap.
  • Once Master Level 30 is reached, weapons that grant Crests can be combined with use of Ability Elemental.png Aether Blast III400%-500% elemental damage to all foes (Damage cap: ~450,000).
    At level 30:
