Grifter
Information
Secret Society Illuminati
Weapons Elementalism, Shotgun
Role Damage

The Grifter can summon Manifestations with Elementalism and place mines and Turrets through his knowledge of Shotguns. All these devices deal brutal damage in whole areas, and devastate groups of enemies at once. The Grifter can also Hinder and root his foes, so they do not escape the killing zones, and Purge any strong buffs they may have.

The Deck is especially good for solo play, because it can handle many enemies at once, but can also be very useful in groups, as powerful opponents can often be easier to handle if their buffs are Purged. With a host of Hinder and area attacks the Grifter shines in small gang player-versus-player combat – being able to control the battlefield by putting up his deadly effects at critical choke points.

Uses the same weapons as Templars' Magus and Dragon's Hunter
