Beginner tips

1. Keep your spirits alive and active; they are part of your damage and defense.
2. Let the Earth spirit hold enemies while you solo.
3. Use crowd control before melee enemies reach you.
4. Official name: Spiritmaster. “Elementalist” is an unofficial name used by some sites.
5. Fill your Stigma slots as they open (Lv. 22, 27, 32, 37) — see the Stigma guide.
6. Spend Daevanion points early — see Daevanion boards.
