This often means having as many trusts as possible.

Black mages rely on trust more than other classes, as their AI can be unpredictable and their MP can be difficult to manage. ..

There are times when you’ll encounter situations that can only be resolved with magic damage. So it’s important to have options. ..

5. Adelheid

Adelheid is a skilled caster and supporter who is well-known in the community. She has helped many people in her time, and her skills are unrivaled. She deserves a special place on this list due to her abilities as both an offensive caster and supporter.

Scholarly and skilled in both white and black magic, she is able to cast Cures and single-target elemental nukes with equal proficiency. ..

She’s a powerful magic caster and can cast stun and helices. She also has a lot of spells that deal high amounts of damage.

While she doesn’t have any ways to manage her own MP, she uses Dark Arts to help her.

The woman’s healing abilities are unaffected by dark arts, but her magic is more powerful.

Her unique weaponskills come in the form of the Blinding, Paralyzing, or Silencing Microtube, which can sometimes apply debuffs respective to their names – and are also AoE! ..

She can do some pretty impressive magic with her helices. If she’s able to use them effectively, she could cause a lot of damage.

Her main drawback is her fixation on casting elemental spells that match the current day. This can often work with or against players, depending on circumstances.

4. Kayeel-Payeel

Kayeel-Payeel has a lot of Fast Cast, which means he can cast spells quickly.

Magical burst is a powerful ability that can be used to quickly defeat enemies. This synergy often benefits the player because it allows them to defeat enemies more quickly and efficiently. ..

He has a variety of black magic spells that can deal AoE damage.

Kayeel-Payeel also possesses the very rare Tartarus Torpor weaponskill, which deals darkness damage, inflicts Magic defense down, magic evasion down, and puts enemies to sleep.

The best part of that? It’s AoE!

He benefits from the aftermath of using Tartarus Torpor. He gets an 8 MP/tick refresh after using it. He’ll tend to favor using Tartarus Torpor when he’s at low MP.

He is a poor MP management specialist, and his use of Sunburst instead of Tartarus Torpor in longer fights only exacerbates his dwindling MP pool.

3. Robel-Akbel

This black mage is efficient in MP, and deserves a mention for his prowess.

He can cast single-target and AoE black magic, giving him a lot of potential for damage.

He casts spells that target enemy weaknesses, and will tend to use weaponskills which restore his MP in the form of Spirit Taker and Null Blast. Though he’ll sometimes uses his third weaponskill, Quietus Sphere, to his own detriment.

Luckily, he also has the Occult Acumen trait, which grants him TP whenever he nukes to increase his weaponskill frequency.

He’s quite intelligent, and often attempts to use magic to burst skillchains with –aja spells that target the enemy’s weaknesses. He sometimes tries to double magic burst – but often fails because of his slow casting speeds.

2. Ullegore

Ullegore is a powerful and intelligent black mage who has the ability to control the elements. ..

Black mages are known for their powerful magic, and one of the most powerful black mages is MP Diggs. He has an unusually high MP pool, which sets him above the other black mages on this list. ..

5000 is a staggering number. ..

Ullegore is a good caster for long fights, as he runs out of MP much faster than other trusts.

The main goal of the North Korean leader is to exploit an enemy’s weaknesses in order to gain an advantage. He is likely to use a nuclear weapon that targets that enemy’s weak point. ..

He’ll often use Momento Mori, which increases his magic attack by a large portion. And he mostly pairs this with Comet, capable of dealing very high damage.

The stun ability is useful as it can interrupt enemies and make them vulnerable to your next attack.

Despite being undead, he can still be healed by natural means like Cure. This means there’s no need to worry about friendly fire. ..

1. Shantotto II

Shantotto II is a trailblazer when it comes to black mage trusts. ..

She is the most commonly relied upon damage dealer in the game! ..

She has many good things going for her, but she also has a lot of baggage.

Nuking is a very effective strategy for the Queen of the Hill. She has a large MP pool, so she can cast Tier I nukes frequently without running out. Additionally, her quick casting speeds make her very effective at magic bursting or doubling magic burst for high damage. ..

She’ll close skillchains when possible, because she has a healthy dose of weapons skills covering every possible skillchain element. ..

Her trust is vulnerable to fraud.

She is often quite fragile, and can be quite vulnerable.

That’s because she has a lot of people who care about her.
