Cardinal

Intro

Novice	Acolyte (1st Job)	Priest (2nd Job)	High Priest (2nd Job Transcedent)	Arch Bishop (3rd Job)	Cardinal (4th Job)

Description	Max Level HP/SP	Stats Bonus when Max Job Level
A Cardinal is the 4th job of the Acolyte line and the heaviest holy caster of the branch, doubling as its most durable support. The job runs on a deep SP and AP economy, spending both to hold a party together with layered heals, barriers and revives, then converting the same pool into holy and neutral magic that bites hardest against the undead and demon races. Mace and book are both fully viable weapon paths, so one character can shift between a casting nuker and a melee bruiser without changing class. Its identity is the trade between sustained party safety and burst windows, paid for with long casts and heavy resource costs.

Job Build Recommendations

Cardinal splits into three magic profiles plus a physical bruiser. This section is split by gear tier: Mid Game covers the pieces you can wear from Base Level 200 to 249, and End Game covers 250 and up, which is also where the SS and SSS tier instances open.

Mid Game

Build	Recommendations
Framen Holy Magic	Skills to main: Max (MT) Framen first, then (MT) Fidus Animus because every point of it is added straight onto the skill ratio, then Mace & Book Mastery for the size bonus. (P) Lex Aeterna is a flat x2 on the next hit and is worth a cast before every big (MT) Framen. Gear to refine and grade: Saint Bringer [2] is the entry staff and Poenitentia Crystallum [2] is the upgrade, with Furious Saint Wand [2] as the cheap filler. Refine all three to +9 and grade to A on the weapon and headgear. Damage cards: MATK % cards in the weapon, and holy and neutral magic damage cards in the garment and shoes. (MvP) Himmelmez's Phantom Card is the highest value single card for this build because (MT) Framen is Holy by default. Stats and traits: SPL first, then INT, then WIS for SP. POW only helps the physical side, so leave it at whatever the gear forces. CON for hit rate if you are missing on high level targets. Enchants and shadow: Framen Tuning Device on the weapon and Cardinal Stone (Lower II) on the Lower II slot, plus Fracella Shadow Earring and Full Spell Shadow Armor / Full Spell Shadow Shoes for the raw MATK. Combos: Heroic Token (Cardinal) [1] + Saint Mace-LT [2], Crown of Good and Evil (Cardinal) [1] + Goodwill Spell + Saint Bringer [2], Good Vigor (Cardinal) + Goodwill Spell, and Cardinal Stone (Lower II) + Archbishop Stone (Top). Consumables: Blessing and Increase Agility on yourself, Ancilla before a damage window, and ASPD potions. Holy elemental converters are pointless because (MT) Framen already casts as Holy. Rotation: Ancilla, then (P) Lex Aeterna on the target, then (MT) Framen. Weave (MT) Arbitrium or (MT) Divinus Flos while (MT) Framen is on cooldown. Budget: A mid tier Framen set is cheap. Saint Bringer and the Framen Tuning Device together cost less than a single end game staff, and both drop from normal content. Content: Every mid tier instance and the Base Level 200 to 249 field maps. (MT) Framen is the best all round holy nuke once (MT) Fidus Animus is at a decent level.
Arbitrium Judex Magic	Skills to main: Max (MT) Arbitrium, (MT) Fidus Animus and Adoramus. (MT) Arbitrium hits twice per cast and auto-casts Adoramus through the Sky Arbi Rod combo. Gear to refine and grade: Sky Arbi Rod [2] is the dedicated rod, Saint Tree Staff [2] is the alternative, and Saint Bringer [2] covers you until either drops. Refine and grade the weapon and headgear to A. Damage cards: MATK % and holy magic damage. (MvP) Warlock Kathryne Card gives MATK % plus all stats, and (MvP) Himmelmez's Phantom Card covers the Neutral element (MT) Arbitrium falls into inside Ancilla. Stats and traits: SPL first for the per hit coefficient, then INT, then WIS. CRT does nothing for this build because (MT) Arbitrium cannot crit. Enchants and shadow: Arbitrium Tuning Device on the weapon, Cardinal Soul (Arbitrium) on the Lower II slot, and Arbit Shadow Earring with Arbit Shadow Pendant (Lv 200 shadow, so they carry into the end game). Combos: Sky Rune Crown (Cardinal) [1] + Sky Arbi Rod [2], Dimensions Saint Rod [2] + Dimensions Crown (Cardinal) [1], Crown of Good and Evil (Cardinal) [1] + Goodwill Spell + Saint Bringer [2], and Cardinal Stone (Lower II) + Archbishop Stone (Bottom). Consumables: Ancilla before the burst because it also flips (MT) Arbitrium to the Neutral element, plus Blessing and normal MATK food. Rotation: (P) Lex Aeterna, then (MT) Arbitrium twice, then Adoramus on the free cast. Keep (MT) Framen as the filler between (MT) Arbitrium cooldowns. Budget: The Sky Arbi Rod route is the cheapest mid game magic core for Cardinal because the rod, crown and circlet all sit at Lv 240 and are farmable. Content: Mid tier instances and undead heavy maps. Adoramus blinds everything it hits, so it also works as a soft crowd control while you farm.
Petitio Physical	Skills to main: Max (MT) Petitio and Mace & Book Mastery, then (MT) Effligo and Punitio. (MT) Petitio is the area clear, Punitio is the single target burst at four hits. Gear to refine and grade: Sealed Bible [2] and Poenitentia Liber [2] are the entry books, Radiant Book [2] is the mid game ceiling. Refine the weapon and headgear to +9 and grade A. Damage cards: Physical damage % and size damage cards. (MvP) Chaos Baphomet Card and (MvP) Reginleif Card are the generic picks. Mace & Book Mastery already covers size, so race cards are usually better value. Stats and traits: POW first, then CON for hit rate, then DEX. STR is a distant third because POW is roughly five times as effective for flat ATK. Enchants and shadow: Cardinal Soul (Petitio), Ice Magic Orb (Milliduple), Full Power Shadow Armor / Full Power Shadow Shoes, plus Effligo Shadow Shoes if you also run (MT) Effligo. Combos: Helm of Faith II (Archbishop) [1] + Vivatus Fides Bible [2], Heroic Token (Cardinal) [1] + Exorcist's Bible-LT [2], Crown of Good and Evil (Cardinal) [1] + Evil Spell + Sealed Bible [2], and Evil Vigor (Cardinal) + Evil Spell. Consumables: Concentration, ASPD and ATK potions. Punitio can crit at half the normal critical damage, so a CRIT oriented accessory swap is a real option. Rotation: (MT) Petitio to open and hold the pack, Punitio on the priority target, (MT) Effligo to fill. (P) Lex Aeterna on the target before Punitio doubles the whole four hit chain. Budget: Cheapest build for the job. Books are common drops, Mace & Book Mastery is free damage, and the shadow pieces are all Lv 200. Content: Excellent for farming mid tier instances and dense maps because (MT) Petitio is a spammable area attack with no expensive reagent.
Divinus Flos Neutral Nuke	Skills to main: Max (MT) Divinus Flos, (MT) Fidus Animus and (MT) Pneumaticus Procella. (MT) Divinus Flos has the highest single cast ratio in the kit. Gear to refine and grade: There is no dedicated (MT) Divinus Flos weapon below Base Level 250, so use a Blaze Mana or Gaebolg staff from the general gear table and put the budget into the shadow and enchant slots instead. Damage cards: Neutral magic damage first. (MvP) Himmelmez's Phantom Card covers Neutral and Holy together, which suits a (MT) Fidus Animus build perfectly. Stats and traits: SPL, then INT, then WIS. (MT) Divinus Flos scales off skill level and (MT) Fidus Animus more than anything else, so the trait pool matters less here than on Framen. Enchants and shadow: CD Soul (Divinus Flos), Glacier (Divinus Flos), Cardinal Stone II (Lower II) and the Divinus Shadow Armor / Divinus Shadow Shoes. Combos: Archbishop Stone II (Upper II) with Cardinal Stone II (Lower II), plus Reinhardt Lugenburg Card + Yorscalp Crown of Judgment [1] once you reach the end game headgear. Consumables: Ancilla, Blessing and MATK food. Because (MT) Divinus Flos is already Neutral, elemental converters do nothing. Rotation: (MT) Pneumaticus Procella to open on a pack, then (MT) Divinus Flos on the survivors. (MT) Fidus Animus must be maxed before this build does anything. Budget: The cheapest way into this build mid game is the shadow set plus the two enchant stones. The expensive weapons only matter once you are 250. Content: Neutral damage has no resistances worth worrying about, so it clears every mid tier instance regardless of element.

End Game

Build	Recommendations
Framen Holy Magic	Skills to main: Everything from the Mid Game build stays maxed. Nothing about the skill priority changes at 250, only the gear. Gear to refine and grade: Motipher Saint Cross [2] and Muqaddas Baru [2]. Refine both to +9 or better and grade to A so the combo conditions on the crowns stay live. Damage cards: (MvP) Himmelmez's Phantom Card for Neutral and Holy, and (MvP) Realized Amdarais Card for the generic MATK % and class damage. Stats and traits: SPL, INT and WIS as before. Once SPL is capped, move the spare points into CON for hit rate against SSS tier targets. Enchants and shadow: Cardinal Stone II (Lower II) with the Archbishop Stone II (Upper II) / Archbishop Stone II (Lower) pair. Fracella Shadow Earring replaces the older Framen shadow piece. Combos: Dimension Death East Card + Dimension Death West Card + Motipher Saint Cross [2], Furious Crown (Cardinal) [1] + Furious Saint Wand [2] + Furious Boots [1], and Frontier Crown (Cardinal) [1] + Frontier Saint Rod [2]. Consumables: Same as Mid Game. Add Competentia before a long damage window because it also restores 100% of HP and SP at max level. Rotation: Ancilla, Competentia, (P) Lex Aeterna, (MT) Framen. Insert Lex Expatrix under Competentia while (MT) Framen is down. Budget: The most expensive magic route. Motipher Saint Cross and Judgment Day are both SSS tier drops, so budget for a long farm or a trade. Content: SS and SSS tier instances, especially anything with Demon or Undead mobs where (MT) Framen gains an extra 50% skill ratio per level.
Arbitrium Judex Magic	Skills to main: Unchanged from Mid Game. (MT) Arbitrium, (MT) Fidus Animus and Adoramus all stay maxed. Gear to refine and grade: Dimensions Saint Rod [2] and Flush Rubber Hammer [2]. Grade the crown to A because the combo bonus scales with enchant grade. Damage cards: The same magic card set as Mid Game, swapping to target specific cards once you know the instance. Stats and traits: SPL, INT, then WIS. (MT) Arbitrium still cannot crit, so C.RATE and CRT remain dead stats for this build. Enchants and shadow: Arbit Shadow Earring and Arbit Shadow Pendant carry over unchanged because shadow gear has no level gate. Keep the Arbitrium Tuning Device in the weapon. Combos: Dimensions Saint Rod [2] + Dimensions Crown (Cardinal) [1], and Sky Rune Crown (Cardinal) [1] + Sky Arbi Rod [2]. The Adoramus auto cast triggers from the (MT) Arbitrium line. Consumables: Ancilla, Blessing and MATK food. Competentia is worth a slot for the free HP and SP refill. Rotation: (P) Lex Aeterna into (MT) Arbitrium twice, then Adoramus. Keep (MT) Framen as the filler. Lex Expatrix is the better filler once Competentia is running. Budget: Cheaper than the Framen route because both end game weapons sit at Lv 250 rather than 265. Content: SS and SSS tier instances. The blind from Adoramus makes it the safest magic build to farm with.
Petitio Physical	Skills to main: Unchanged. (MT) Petitio, Punitio, (MT) Effligo and Mace & Book Mastery stay maxed. Gear to refine and grade: Dimensions Saint Bible [2] and Judgment Day [2]. Grade the headgear to A so the Punitio cooldown combo unlocks. Damage cards: (MvP) Reginleif Card, (MvP) Chaos Baphomet Card and (MvP) Yortus Arbiter Card for the generic physical spread. Stats and traits: POW, CON, DEX. Prioritise C.RATE and CRT last because only Punitio can crit, and it does so at half critical damage. Enchants and shadow: Cardinal Soul (Petitio) and Cardinal Soul (Punitio), Effligo Shadow Armor and Effligo Shadow Shoes, and Fracella Shadow Earring where the slot allows. Combos: Furious Crown (Cardinal) [1] + Furious Saint Book [2], Radiant Rune Circlet (Cardinal) [1] + Radiant Book [2], and Dimensions Saint Bible [2] + Dimensions Crown (Cardinal) [1]. Consumables: Concentration, ASPD and ATK potions, and Competentia for the P.ATK and the refill. Rotation: Competentia, (MT) Petitio on the pack, Punitio on the priority target. Lex Expatrix is magic and does not belong in the physical rotation. Budget: The cheapest end game route. Judgment Day is the only 265 item and everything else drops at 250. Content: SS and SSS tier instances. (MT) Petitio holds up on dense maps where magic builds run out of SP.
Divinus Flos Neutral Nuke	Skills to main: Unchanged. (MT) Divinus Flos, (MT) Fidus Animus and (MT) Pneumaticus Procella stay maxed, and (MT) Reparatio picks up value as the safety button. Gear to refine and grade: Frontier Saint Rod [2] and Time Gap Saint Staff [2]. The rod covers both (MT) Divinus Flos and (MT) Pneumaticus Procella. Damage cards: Neutral and Holy magic damage. The Reinhardt Lugenburg Card combo with Yorscalp Crown of Judgment [1] gives a large (MT) Divinus Flos increase. Stats and traits: SPL, INT and WIS. This build has the widest area coverage, so it is also the one that benefits most from a second point of WIS. Enchants and shadow: Fracella Shadow Pendant, Divinus Shadow Armor / Divinus Shadow Shoes, and Cardinal Stone II (Lower II) with the Archbishop Stone II (Upper II) / Archbishop Stone II (Lower) pair. Combos: Frontier Crown (Cardinal) [1] + Frontier Saint Rod [2], Reinhardt Lugenburg Card + Yorscalp Crown of Judgment [1], and Time Gap Saint Staff [2] + Dimensions Crown (Cardinal) [1]. Consumables: Ancilla, Blessing and Competentia. Lex Expatrix under Competentia is the highest magical ratio in the job and is worth the cast time. Rotation: Competentia, Ancilla, (MT) Pneumaticus Procella on the pack, then (MT) Divinus Flos. Lex Expatrix is the single target filler. Budget: The two weapons are 250 and 265, so this sits between the physical and the Framen routes on cost. Content: SS and SSS tier instances. (MT) Pneumaticus Procella covers an 11x11 area at max level, so it is the best large pull clear in the kit.
