Assessment

Warlock is an alternative to Chaos Ruler, primarily for players seeking a source of BlindedAttacks have a slight chance to miss
or who can effectively utilize Chaser.

•  Aether Blast III400%-500% elemental damage to all foes (Damage cap: ~450,000).

•  ChaserAll allies gain 20% Bonus DMGDeals bonus DMG for one-foe one-ally attacks
  Strength: 20%Duration: 3 turns. can indirectly raise the normal attack damage cap and capitalize on damage bursts (such as Assassin skills) by providing the team with Bonus DMGDeals bonus DMG for one-foe one-ally attacks
  . 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.
•  ChokeAll allies gain Attack AllAttacks each foe
  Duration: 3 turns. is rarely optimal for difficult content, but is excellent for accumulating honors when MVP racing by attacking multiple foes at a time, such as in Tiamat Omega Impossible or Grand Order.
•  Aether BaneInflict Aether Bane Lvl1Takes big DMG from Aether Blast (Effect boosted with every Aether Bane)
  (Maximum level: 20) on a foe. is terrible as the damage increase is not significant and Aether Blast will usually hit its damage cap regardless.
•  Resounding Chant300% elemental damage to all foes (Damage cap: ~400,000).
  All allies gain Charge Bar +20%Instantly boosts Charge Bar by 20%
  Strength: 20%.
  (Boost to damage, damage cap, and charge bar effect based on number of staff-specialty allies.) is an excellent option for Ultima Staff teams.

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.

• 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  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  Rain of Arrows150-300% elemental damage to all foes.. OK as a choice, but locks you into the use of  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  ChaserAll allies gain 20% Bonus DMGDeals bonus DMG for one-foe one-ally attacks
    Strength: 20%Duration: 3 turns.. 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.
  • Daggers and staves with bonus damage on charge attack include, but are not limited to Staff of Renunciation/ Staff of Repudiation with the β Revelation skill, Damascus Knife, Sephira Emerald Dagger, Heaven's Cloud, Yggdrasil Dagger Omega, Tenth Crest of the Clutch, Yggdrasil Dewbranch Omega, and Sephira Emerald Staff.
  • Compatible weapons with conditional damage activation include Tenth Crest of the Clutch
• Once Master Level 30 is reached, weapons that grant Crests can be combined with use of  Aether Blast III400%-500% elemental damage to all foes (Damage cap: ~450,000).
  At level 30:
  Damage increased to 600%.

  • Tropical Fairy's healing ability at max Crest stacks will also kick in much quicker than usual.
