Teras Kasi Artist

Teras Kasi Artist is one of the melee combat Skills a character can choose to learn on Empire in Flames. Teras Kasi Artists are considered one of the tankiest and most robust Skills for a character to learn, unfortunately, they don't out too much damage compared to the melee combat Skills, such as Pikeman, Swordsman, or Fencer. They also have a shorter range than Pikeman, and they can only reach eight meters with many of their abilities. Again, they make up for it by being difficult to take down in combat, and it makes them a go-to option for any player who wishes to be considered the Tank for a group if they're planning to tackle any of the Dungeons on the server.

Teras Kasi Artist is a starting skill for characters who select the Doctor Profession during the Character Creation process. It is not required for a character to remain a Doctor if they wish to continue leveling up in the Teras Kasi Artist boxes, and they can use the Teras Kasi Artist skills with any of the other professions available on Empire in Flames, including Jedi. It is important to note that Teras Kasi Artist is a Skill, and this is different from a Profession. All characters on Empire in Flames can only have one profession at a time, but they can use their 250 Skill points to purchase from any of the available Skill Trees.

## How to Level Teras Kasi Artist

A character who wishes to train the Teras Kasi Artist skill tree will need to make sure they've unlocked the Novice box. Every character can grab this skill box by speaking with a Teras Kasi Artist trainer, which they can find in a handful of the major cities, or by visiting a player's town. As a Novice Teras Kasi Artist, a character will need to use a melee weapon against foes and defeat them in combat to gain Unarmed Combat experience. Unfortunately, a character will not start with a Teras Kasi Artist weapon in their inventory. They will need to seek out one of these weapons on a local Bazaar to find where they are being sold in any of the significant player towns on Empire in Flames. A character will want to seek out a Vibro Knuckler, and they can find it by making their way to a Bazaar and searching under the Vendor Location on the Bazaar tab, clicking the "Entire Galaxy" location filter, and then looking under the Weapon categories, and then clicking the "Melee Weapon" search.

A character starting out to level up the Teras Kasi Artist will struggle due to the amount of damage they can do against targets. Although NPCs will struggle to effectively take down a Teras Kasi Artist during battle outside of using overwhelming numbers, or remaining ranged, but the process of leveling this up can take a great deal a of time. A good way to help mitigate this is to grab many of the starting Novice boxes from the other combat Skills on Empire in Flames, as suggested in the New Player Guide, to help build up a character's basic skills, making it more difficult to take them down. In addition, a player might benefit from visiting Tanaab, heading to Starhunter Spaceport, and making their way to the Great Herds Points of Interest. At this location are large Nerfs that a player can defeat in large mass, and if they bring a droid partner to group with them, they gain twice as many experience points as they normally world. This might not be the best method for starting players to acquire credits on Empire in Flames, but it is one of the quickest way to level up a new combat Skill.

These are all of the locations a character can find Teras Kasi Artist trainers throughout Empire in Flames. Although these are the static locations in NPC cities, a character might have better luck seeking out a known player town on the server, and seeing if the mayor has placed down a Teras Kasi Artist trainer. This might not always be the case as mayors regularly swap out these trainers based on their citizen's needs.

Not only will we list out the different type of Unarmed weapons you can find on the server, but we're going to detail how you can get them, and their respective damage types.
