Cloud

Cloud is a hard hitting magic dps class with no animation on its spells and 2 resets. To Dps optimally you need to combo really fast or your damage drops quite hard. With no survivability in his skills and int as secondary stat you are very fragile so you need to stay mobile to survive.

T4 requirement is full paimon gear and walk in the black square down the stairs to the right of Arthas.

"Your Highness, it's such an honor to meet you, a representative of your Father's Kingdom! We heard you were travelling around the Continent, I hope so far it has been delightful."- welcomed him Priest.
"Thanks, Priest. I came to see if you could help me to find some answers"- said Schneider
"I would do absolutely everything that is in my powers to assist you, Prince Schneider"
" Good, good. Throughout my journey, I have noticed how bad the states of some kingdoms are in, I can feel like someone is squeezing the life out of people in the air itself. I was wondering if you knew something about this."
"Your senses are most perceptive, my Prince. Me and other priests felt that too. We prayed for a very long time and I am afraid I have some bad news"
"What is it? Tell me, I can take it"- rushed him Schneider.
"I am afraid, the emanation from Gates of Hell is affecting us all. As you know , Middle Earth Continent is the closest living mortal outpost to the gates of Hell, where armies of Hell and Prime Evils are rumored to be sealed. Our best Sorceresses analyzed the seals that protect our Mortal World from the Legion of Hell, and we found out that they are extremely weak. I am afraid, the world as we know is about to be completely destroyed."
Shocked by this revelation, Schneider left the temple and pondered on what he must do next. After some time he sent a mail to his parents, telling them not to worry about him and that he will come home later than his thought, and set sail to the Gates of Hell. Thus, the story of Cloud begins.

**Armor:** Ifrit's Armor -> False Causality/Hatreous (drops from Mephisto) (1m) -> Robe of the Witch (2.25m).

**Soul**: Ifrit's or Plethon's Soul (750k) -> Mephisto Soul (1m) -> Soul of Fire\* (1.5m) -> Soul of the Elements (2.25m)

\*Before you get fire soul (drops from Aurelia) you can use Crumbling Sphere (drops from Solomon) (1.5m).

**Accessory**: Heart of Ifrit (750k), Solomon's Fate (1,5m) -> Fate of Ifrit (2.5m)

**Flag**: Agi or Agi/int. Once you have CW switch to Magic flag -> Lord of Hatred (1.5m)

### Grimoires

**Oblivion:** Sadistic masochist (War God Vassago). You can use a grimoire with a stun in this slot as a filler until you get it like meteor (gusion) or unconcious blow (menacing bereth) or Death Strike (Azrael).

**Spirituality:** Dash (Schneider) Is the absolute best in this slot for survivability. Unstable magic (fuse baal, levi, erigos) if you are lucky enough to get it. Mana shield is another option for survivability if you skill into int.

**Salvation:** Sacred Life (ifrit) is the best you can get. There aren't too many other options for this slot unless you are lucky enough for Hypnosis (Solomon). Enslaved will (fuse) is good on any char. Mana overflow (fuse) in combination with Mana shield.

**Awakening:** Unholy Soul (Assur x2). Gives a higher UP cap (125) and the active gives 25 UP instantly. 100 cd.

## Playstyle & tactics

**General playstyle:**

Skills at T4 scale with top stat, so you should be maxing one stat before changing to the other.

You want to start every boss with 80 or 100 UP/Magic so that you can cycle all your spells in a big combo. The full cloud combo is "T D QWER D QWER D QWER F QWER D QWER D QWER D QWER". If you have class weapon, you can chain stun a boss with e+r at 70 UP. This is very useful against certain bosses like diablo fury to help keep your tank alive.

### Mephisto:

As a magic dps in Mephisto, your job will be to deal with the thirst and slaughter illusion, Since magic doesn't do a lot against the Death/Sitael illusion. Make sure to have 40 (50 with class weapon) UP before any illusion spawns, so you can dish out maximum damage. Notify your team if you are not ready with your UP or cooldowns for the thirst/slaughter illusion. Position yourself below the thirst illusion when Sitael dies to not take the sigil. Position yourself below the slaughter illusion when thirst falls ( do stand low enough to not die instantly to the illusion when it spawns and to not get any sigils) Check out the Mephisto guide to learn more about the smaller details in the fight

### Diablo:

Magic in general doesn't do a lot against diablo, so you are not too useful in this fight until you have more stats/gear. Be wary of the embers throughout the whole fight and run in circles to avoid it. Be careful of running into allies, as you might kill them with your ember. Diablo will use breath against a random target, be wary not to stand in a line between them. Also be wary of damaging him during the breath as at 75%\50%\25% hp he will use hellfire which is a vacuum attack. This is where the dash grimoire comes in handy the most, since you can get out of it if you get stuck in it. If you have class weapon, you can negate most of his fury with e+r at 70 UP to chainstun diablo.

### Solomon:

Solomon is a very overwhelming boss to fight if you don't know what you are doing. A simple way of doing it is to run back every time he says something until you learn what each line does. When he has multiple clones with him, check for bulbs from Evil Spirit Princess's Soul to see which one is real. An alternative way is to check the attack range and see which one doesn't have 300 range. If everyone dies, it's your job to run in there first and drop his mana by doing "Q W F Q W D Q W". If done right, he should barely get any agility. If you have a blessing or a Sitael in your party, be sure to receive a revive before entering so that you can survive the beat down of Solomon.

##### Aurelia:

Your job as cloud is to burst down the awakened elementals as fast as you can. Earth and lightning are more vulnerable to magic damage, whereas Water and Lightning are more vulnerable to physical damage. So your focus should be pretty self-evident. Tell your team if your cooldowns are ready when it comes to proc the last phase at 25% of Aurelia's health. Burst her and fire (and fire splits) down, but be careful not to die to the fire circles.
