"The One True King has awakened and is out for blood. Corrupted by the Root during his near-death slumber, the mad king sees betrayal at every turn and is on a rampage of revenge. Since his castle first arrived in a Dran coastal town, the tides are angry, and the weather is chaotic, surfacing all manner of creatures from the depths and leaving many mysteries in its wake. As a master of pain and suffering, the Ritualist is an excellent archetype to challenge The Awakened King. The Ritualist leverages status effects to punish their foes. Here's a list of some of this new Archetype's abilities."

  • Their Prime Perk, "Vile," makes enemies more susceptible to Status Damage and spreads their status to nearby enemies upon death.
  • Using "Eruption," the Ritualist detonates nearby enemies and adds insult to injury by dealing bonus damage to those already suffering from Status Effects.
  • To thin the herd, unleashing "Miasma" instantly applies Bleeding, Burning, Overloaded, and Corroded to all enemies within range.
  • Lastly, "Deathwish" curses the Ritualist themselves. It forgoes standard healing and causes constant health drain but grants a heavy damage buff and substantial lifesteal.
