The Illuminator (First Flame) Class Mod

The Illuminator (First Flame) is a mid-front warrior with wide flexibility. The Light incarnate, the Illuminator's skills shift and warp as the light does - In higher light, his skills turn fiery and aggressive, but melt away his health; In lower ligh, he calms, cools, and focuses on controlling the flow of battle. Huddled around the campfire, he shows his expertise in bringing out the best qualities of the Flame, steeling the party for the fights to come and proving his dedication to the Light.


You can look here for very detailed info of his kit etc or watch short videos in the gallery to see his skills and trinkets.

Due to how saint blade works you may see a debuff pop up for a second, this is intentional to prevent stress healing at low light.

Due to his self dmg getting lower the darker it gets, a -dmg taken buff will pop up for a second.

When he gets stunned, stressed etc it will appear above his head flame, this is intentional.

Remold intentionally does not change as you level it up, hence its levels being free. Originally, it was locked to level 1, but to make switching between First Flame and Rekindled possible this was changed.

Flicker's pull effect will stall for a couple seconds due to how the skill is coded.
