The Cantor

Healer / sonic caster

One voice, two songs: hymns that hold a dying party together, or a dirge that sings a pack to death while you walk away.

How it plays

One voice, two songs. Switching between heal and harm builds your Harmony. Hold a dying party together on Restoration, the strongest healing in the game, or sing a pack slowly to death on the Dirge while you walk away.

Fights with chimes, wands, hymnals. Wears cloth.

Every Cantor has

The core kit, whichever Path you take.

Two Paths to choose between

Each Path adds three spells and a passive of its own. You can change it later at a trainer.

Restoration

Healer

The strongest healing in the game. Bright Note between your notes, Canon through the party and back, and stand for Soothing Chord when the tank dips.

  • Soothing Chord
  • Canon
  • Grand Chorale

Overflow Your heals are 12% stronger and your notes 22% harder, and overhealing from your songs becomes a shield of up to 20% of the target's health (8s). Bright Note heals 40% more and rings on for 2 more bounces.

Dirge

Damage

Sing enemies slowly to death while you walk away. Curses stack, feed you and jump from every corpse to the next.

  • Mourning Note
  • Hollow Wail
  • Closing Verse

Lament Each different curse you hold on an enemy (Sour, Mourning, Hollow) adds 10% to all your damage on it. Bright Note and Sforzando sour what they hit. When a cursed enemy dies, your curses jump to the nearest enemy within 4 tiles with their time left. Lifesong heals 20%.

Knacks, small extras any Cantor can pick: Sanctuary Note, Dread Wail, Clear Breath.
