Amazon Games has outlined a little more about Lost Ark’s all-new advanced class, Artist, including an explanation about why it chose to “make localisation updates” that modified Artists skins to make them less sexualised and “better fit Western norms”.
The first in an “entirely new class category” called Specialists, the Artist is “capable of tactical versatility with illusion powers, and specialises in supporting her team”.
“The Artist’s Class identity is built around the Harmony Meter Identity Gauge,” Amazon explains. “Landing skills on enemies will fill up three Harmony Orbs which can be used to cast two Identity Skills – Moonfall and Sunrise.
“Similar to other Advanced Classes, the Artist has two unique Class Engravings: Full Bloom, which improves her support capabilities, and Recurrence, which bolsters her offense. The Artist’s skill categories consist of Stroke, Paint and Masterwork skills; players can choose to attack foes directly or summon beasts or dimensional energy to inflict damage by painting them.”
