Lost Ark's big July update has arrived, bringing with it, among other things, the new Arcanist advanced mage class, who gets things done by tossing magic cards about the place.
Amazon Games is calling Lost Ark's new update update Spells in Spades, which, alongisde the Arcanist, also brings a new ultra-tough Inferno difficulty version of Valtan Legion raid - requiring item level 1445 for players to participate - plus tougher Challenge Abyssal Dungeons, a new weekly activity that, like the updated Valtan, will feature its own improved rewards.
It's the Arcanist that's taking centre-stage though, joining the Bard and Sorceress as Lost Ark's third available Mage Advanced Class. Using special cards imbued with Magick, she's able to deploy them in multiple ways, summoning powerful attacks from within the cards or simply using them in massive numbers to slice up foes.
