| Class Overview – Who is the Lich? | ||||
| Role Master of Dark Magic | The Lich is the final evolution of the Asura dark mage. It transforms into an undead form (Lich Form), gaining increased magical attack, reduced damage taken, and access to unique skills. The Lich excels at sustained magical damage, life drain, and summoning spectres to fight alongside it. | |||
| Prerequisites How to Unlock | Complete the Master Class questline (Meisterklassenquest) as a Warlock (Hexenmeister). You need Character Level 150+ and Job Level 80+ (original cap). After advancement, you gain the “Lich” title and a new set of skills. | |||
| Core Lich Skills – Must‑Max | ||||
| Signature Lich Form (Transformation) | Active – Transformation: Transform into a Lich for 60 seconds (cooldown 180 seconds). While transformed:
| |||
| Active Soul Siphon | Drains life from a target, dealing dark damage and healing the Lich for 50% of the damage dealt. Essential for sustain. | |||
| Active Summon Spectre | Summons a spectral ally that fights for 30 seconds. The Spectre deals dark magic damage and applies a curse debuff. | |||
| Passive Undead Resilience | Reduces physical damage taken by 15% and grants immunity to poison and bleed effects. Always active. | |||
| Curse Enhanced Curse of Agony | Improved version of Curse of Agony. Now stacks up to 5 times and reduces enemy magic defence by an additional 10%. | |||
| Skill priority: Lich Form > Soul Siphon > Enhanced Curse of Agony > Summon Spectre > Undead Resilience. | ||||
| Stat Priority (High to Low) | ||||
| PvE | INT > Critical Rate > Critical Damage > VIT > WIS (INT is still king; critical stats benefit Lich Form’s bonus.) | |||
| PvP | INT > VIT > Critical Rate > WIS > Critical Damage (survivability matters more in PvP; Lich Form already gives damage reduction.) | |||
| Recommended Gear & Stats | ||||
| Weapon Staff | High M.Atk staff with INT, Critical Rate, and Magic Penetration awakening lines. Enhancement to +17 or higher. | |||
| Armor Cloth (Lich’s Vestments set) | Look for INT, HP, and Magic Reduction. The Lich’s Vestments set (from Devildom or Parallel World) gives set bonuses for dark magic. | |||
| Accessories Rings / Necklace | INT, Dark Magic damage, and Cooldown Reduction (for Lich Form). | |||
| Soul Stones Intelligence (INT) | Socket INT stones. For high‑end Lich, consider Critical Rate stones if you already have high INT. | |||
| Best Pets for Lich | ||||
| Primary Pet Soul Reaper / Ancient Mage | Soul Reaper offers M.Atk and Cast Speed; Ancient Mage gives M.Atk and additional dark magic damage. | |||
| Belt Pets | Elemental Spirit (M.Atk), Soul Reaper (M.Atk/Cast Speed), Orc Warrior (Critical Damage for Schädelklopfer variant), Fairy Queen (INT). | |||
| Active Pet Dark‑type magical pet | Ice Maiden, Kainen (magical), or a Soul Pet with dark magic abilities. | |||

💀 LICH FORM – TRANSFORMATION BREAKDOWN
- Visual change: Your character becomes a floating skull‑faced undead with a dark aura.
- HP cost: While transformed, all skills cost HP instead of MP. This is dangerous but also allows you to use skills even when out of mana. Combine with Soul Siphon to heal back.
- Cooldown management: Lich Form lasts 60 seconds with a 180‑second cooldown. Plan your burst windows around this. Use cooldown reduction items (e.g., “Chrono Shift” from Void Mage is not available, but some accessories can reduce transformation cooldown).
- PvP timing: Activate Lich Form just before entering combat. The damage reduction and increased damage will give you a huge advantage in duels and small‑scale fights.
💡 If you combine Lich Form with the Schädelklopfer (Skull Crusher) build from the Warlock tree, you become a burst monster – guaranteed critical hits while transformed can one‑shot many targets.
✨ TALENT POINTS (TP) FOR LICH
- Magic Tree: Invest heavily – “Arcane Power” (M.Atk), “Spell Focus” (magic critical), “Quick Cast” (cast speed reduction).
- Support Tree: Take “Quick Recovery” (debuff reduction) and “Vitality” (HP). Lich Form already gives damage reduction, but extra HP is always welcome.
- Combat Tree: Ignore entirely.
💡 Sample TP distribution (11 total): Magic Tree 9 points (max main nodes), Support Tree 2 points.
📊 WARLOCK vs. LICH – WHAT CHANGES
| Aspect | Warlock (Advanced) | Lich (Master) |
|---|---|---|
| Survivability | Squishy – relies on CC | Much tankier (damage reduction, self‑heal) |
| Damage | High sustained | Higher burst (Lich Form) |
| Resource Management | MP dependent | HP costs during transformation – risky but powerful |
| Unique Mechanic | Curses, Fear | Transformation, Spectre summon, Life drain |
| Mobility | Standard caster | Same, but can stay alive longer |
💡 The Lich is a direct upgrade. If you enjoyed the Warlock, you will love the Lich’s survivability and burst potential.
