Chandelier could best be described as a ninja-like elemental fighter, with 3 different stances. Equipped with the least used weapon type in the game, Gunblades, he jumps around in quick attacks in combination with different elemental skills, depending on the needs of the situation. The class is unlocked after you have 2 more classes at level 75+, so for new players it may take a while before you can use it.
Three different styles
- Zandi style - A quick style that triggers when a Wind or Lightning Element weapon is equipped. It focuses on AOE attacks, suitable for quick erasures while farming or progressing tasks.
- Fomel style - Enabled when a Fire or Dark item type is equipped, this is the style to use when very offensive play is required. Shines in close combat situations.
- Baran style - Similar to the other two styles, the Baran style is activated when an Ice or Light Element weapon is equipped, and provides defensive mechanics alongside long range attacks.
Gunblade is finally viable
Escape shot is Luster's weapon action, while holding a Gunblade, allowing the character to launch a ranged attack while moving. Also makes the player invulnerable during this short time, making them a solid defensive option during this agile playstyle. Make sure to apply it to your spin and after a while you will use it mechanically, like the fighter or star weapon action.
Wielding a Gunblade automatically implies that Luster has both short and long range Arts, making it suitable for all occasions.
Similar to the photonic arts in Star Double Saber, Luster has improved his skills, which can be used by spending Luster Gunblade Focus, the unique resource of the new Scion class. Defeating enemies fills this gauge faster. Some notable “improved” skills are:
- Improved attack (via your normal attack)
- Improved shooting (via your Gunblade weapon action)
- Enhanced arts (which are your Photon Arts Chandelier.)
Chandelier also has the so-called Mobile arts, which are activated in motion and generate a motion effect. Stationary arts are triggered while standing still, making this the default version of the attack.
Most Notable Chandelier Class Skills
Chandelier voltage - A voltage gauge will be added to your sub-palette and connecting with your attacks will produce volts. With enough voltage collected, the potency will increase by a certain percentage and you will also take reduced damage. The rate of voltage build-up can be increased with other passive class skills. Also, note that your tension gauge will reset if you don't attack for a while.
Chandelier counter - Dodge with Sidestep or a weapon action, triggers a Sidestep Swipe. Some extra DPS in your rotation.
Chandelier side guard - If you step forward or backward within a certain amount of time, dodging an enemy's attack, activate a Perfect Guard and unleash a counterattack in the direction you indicated.
Bonus attack - 4 consecutive normal attacks trigger a powerful attack based on your current level of PP or concentration gauge.

Certainly not a class suitable for beginners, Luster looks really exciting to play, but needs a lot of trial and error to fully enjoy it. By the time you get used to this class you are going to be in for a treat as every action you take is so satisfying to watch, with great amounts of damage to follow. Chandelier is released with today's update, so give it a try.
