Character Introduction

The Shadow Chaser mainly plays a role in confusing opponents through enhanced Scribble (graffiti) abilities, an upgraded Intimidate skill (Reproduce), and various Masquerade skills. Their presence is elusive and unpredictable, focusing less on direct damage and more on disabling opponents by inflicting various debuffs that prevent them from using their abilities. Being unable to use skills, having your weapon stripped away, and standing in the middle of a battlefield would be tough for anyone. The Shadow Chaser has been designed with skills that reflect status ailments back onto the opponent, Masquerade skills that impose penalties on the opponent's stats, and skills that can unleash powerful magical effects by drawing magical graffiti (Magic Scribble) on the ground. Among these, the powerful ground magic called Maelstrom (whirlpool) can even absorb the Warlock's great magic Comet and convert it into the caster's own SP.
