==Statistics==
==Alternate Skins==
 currently has 2 alternate skins, which include:
*1 gem skin
*1 paid skin
==Passive Buff==
;Basic
:Crit hit rate increases as you stay still and charge longer.
*This Buff is exclusive to .
==Skill 1 - Power Burst==
;Basic 
:Accumulate power to cast potent spells! The spell's form varies depending on the type of weapons you carry. When using a charged weapon to charge and attack, the spell will be charged and released simultaneously.
*This skill has 5 (3) seconds of CD, which starts after the skill has finished casting. The time required to cast each form varies.
*Power Burst can be further enhanced when paired with the following Buffs:
**
*Power Burst has 4 forms, depending on the weapon currently held:
**Machine gun: 10 consecutive bullets (10 damage at max charge)
**Splash: 6 consecutive bullets that can splash (10 damage at max charge)
**Melee: 3 consecutive slashes (20 damage at max charge)
**Laser: 2 lasers hovering and pointing toward the current direction for a few seconds, along with 6 bullets. The lasers deal 8 damage and the bullets deal 10 damage at max charge.
*Out of the 4 forms, laser and melee can be combined with other forms depending on the player's secondary weapon.
*While holding a chargeable weapon, the skill can also be simultaneously charged by just using the weapon.
**This causes the skill charging time to be equal to the held weapon, making it very fast while holding something like Slingshot.
**Halfway through the casting animation (also indicated by the skill bar being between 60% and 40% depleted), the Arcane Knight's hand will flash. 
***For a certain timeframe after this, pressing the attack button will instantly stop the casting and activate the skill again, skipping cooldown.
***This effect can be helpful but requires specific timing and quick reflexes. Since the cast times depend on the weapon's charging speed, the timing of this interaction also differs.
;Skill upgrade
:Simultaneously charge becomes 50% faster.
;Mentor Upgrade
:Gain a temporary shield while charging.
*For every 0.45 seconds used in charging the skill, gain 1 extra armor. All extra armor points will disappear as soon as the skill button is released.
*If a weapon is also used in simultaneous charging and the skill upgrade is available, extra armor is gained for every 0.3 seconds instead.
*The extra armor mainly acts as a safety measure when using weapons with long charging times, like Warhammer of Sealed Souls.
