The Dancer

Dancer is another class option for the Archer class. These scantily clad seductresses gain the power to influence the minds of allies and enemies alike.

Where their male counterparts, the Bards, are more bent on support, Dancers specialize in disruptive maneuvers, which make them an invaluable asset in the War of Emperium.

Although Dancer doesn't have Priest skills like Kyrie Eleison and Aspersio, Dancer provides Healing, Crit Rate Buff, and Defense Buff, and with the "Puppeter's Trick" skill paired with the "Puppet Heart" Verus core, Dancers give bonus stats to their allies.

The Builds

For the builds, we have Full Support and Hybrid Support Builds.

Full Support

This build focuses on providing HP Restoration, Buffs, and Resurrecting fallen allies. For the Stats, we need to add points to Dexterity to increase PATK which increases our heal rate and cast time. And Vitality, to increase our Survivability. "A dead support is no support." Then allocate the rest of the points to Intelligence (Increase our SP Rate and MDEF).

Hybrid Support

This build highlights the Ugly Dance skill that deals AoE Damage to nearby enemies. Paired with the Flame Whip, using Ugly Dance adds additional Fire Element AOE damage. We can also switch our dance from Ugly Dance to Service For you, to recover missing HP and keep an eye out for fallen allies to help the main support. For the Stats, we need to add to prioritize Dex, and Int for continuous damage. Then allocate the rest of the points to Vit.

The Healing Rate is based on your Physical attack (PATK). This is also a neutral element, so you can use Grove Card (Comodo Patch) to increase the healing rate.

This is both a range and melee physical attack. You can use equipment and potions that have Dexterity stats, Physical Damage %, Physical Attack, Physical Attack %, and Range damage %.

Kiss of Goddess

This is a good buff for classes that deal with Critical hits since it increases Crit Rate and Crit Damage.

Encore

This passive skill casts a skill at the same level as the last skill you cast. Level Recommendation:
