Soul Eater Overview

Introduction

Soul Eater is a melee DPS class that can choose between the classic builder-spender burst and a fast-paced, tempo-switching playstyle, depending on engraving choice.

Soul Eaters do not rely on directional attacks, meaning they do not need to be behind or in-front of the boss to deal damage, making them a lot more flexible than Entropy classes.

Class mechanics

Night's Edge

is the “consistent damage” build of Soul Eater. It changes the Possession Gauge into a new gauge called “Boundary gauge”, and buffs Scythe and Reaper skill damage.

You fill your Soul Stone shards with Scythe Skills, and spend them with your Reaper Skills to generate Boundary gauge. You’re rewarded for casting Reaper Skills at full (3) Soul Stone shards for extra Boundary Gauge, but casting them without all 3 Soul Stones still produces gauge (although much less).

This Boundary Gauge depletes over time after a short period, but if you fill it fast enough you will enter the “Boundary State” for 12 seconds, which acts as an Exhaustion mechanic where your Reaper Skills are disabled but your Scythe Skills get boosted with extra damage, lower cooldowns, and you get attack and move speed, and passive mana recovery.

It’s a fast-paced, tempo-switching playstyle.

Full moon harvester

is a modern take on the classic builder-spender burst archetype of Lost Ark. You make use of 2 different resources: Soul Stone shards and Possession Gauge.

You utilize Death Skills to fill Soul Stone shards and generate Possession Gauge, and Reaper Skills to consume Soul Stone shards and also generate Possession Gauge.

Once your Possession Gauge is full, you can activate “Reaper mode”. During this mode, you utilize enhanced Reaper Skills that deal increased damage, while receiving extra movespeed, attack speed, and crit rate.

This state also resets your Reaper Skill cooldown, fills your Soul Stone shards and applies Synergy to all enemies in a small radius around you.

You can think of it as a mix between Igniter Sorceress and Esoteric Flurry Striker, while also being a non-positional class with high mobility.
