New skillset: Spelldance

Nov 26. 2021 Announcements

 

Let’s dance, for fear your grace should fall! More content is on its way to ArcheAge and ArcheAge: Unchained: starting from December 2, we will begin to honor Naima’s death by introducing a new skillset, named Spelldance!

About 2000 years before the start of ArcheAge, during the Hidden Era, twelve expedition members came together in the capital city of Auroria to start a journey which eventually led to their own demise. The first one to fall was Naima, a skilled dancer from the Misac Tribe. 

Spelldance is based on Naima’s graceful dances, which exude healing powers on the battlefield. The skillset uses unique skill stacks called Happy and Sorrow. Using skills to buff allies will increase your Happy stats, and using skills that are harmful to enemies will increase your Sorrow stats. The stacks you gain will affect the effectiveness of your skills.
