What to expect from Arcana: Faith and Fury update?
Arcana: Faith and Fury introduces two new Arcana talents, Sacred Guardian and Explosive Vanguard, where players can gain new powerful skills. Both Arcana paths feature Arcana Link Effects that scale across ten levels, offering stat enhancements and progression-based benefits for the talent.
The update also expands Arcana progression with new Arcana Links for these two talents, and by increasing the Total Arcana Level cap to 250, unlocking further stat bonuses and enhanced combat potential. Even with these shared features, these skills have their unique qualities that players will enjoy. Let’s get into the individual characteristics of these two skills:
Sacred Guardian
- Merges the Holy Arts and Warrior talents into a defensive role
- Shields allies and redirects damage using skills such as Pledge of Penance, Provoke, and Martyr’s Consecration.
Explosive Vanguard
- Fuses the Gunslinger and Lance talents,
- Brings a barrage of firepower with skills such as Relentless Thrust, Blast Zone, and Blaze of Glory.
- Leverages Mana Shells and Mana Pressure to deliver massive damage across multiple targets.
Players can see rapid growth and progress towards these new Arcana talents with the recently added Arcana Achievement Questline, which aims to guide and bolster new players into the world of Mabinogi. Alongside these two new Arcanas, significant buffs and quality of life renovations have been made to the existing four Arcana talents.
