Fights through summoned elemental spirits, layering damage-over-time and status effects. NC singles it out for solo play, and it is often ranked among the strongest PvE classes, but it has the most moving parts to manage. Korean guides call it the Elementalist.
A summoner that fights through elemental spirits and damage-over-time curses. The most self-sufficient solo class, with fear and seals for PvP, but the most moving parts to manage.
Strengths
- Most self-sufficient solo kit
- Strong sustained PvE damage
- Pets absorb attention
Weaknesses
- Most complex systems to manage
- Damage comes as pressure, not big bursts
In a group: Sustained damage. In PvP: Ranged pressure, disruption.

Tips

| 3 | Lv 32 | Jointstrike: Corrode |
| 4 | Lv 37 |  Cry of Terror |

- Corrode your target, then let spirits keep attacking while you reposition.
- Pop Spirit's Benediction for its damage tolerance and healing when focused.

Tips
- Often called the best solo class: your spirit takes hits while you stay safe.
- Some players run Siphon instead of Flame Blessing until their gear is stronger.
