Crystal of Atlan Warlock build

If you chose the Magister class, you can opt for the Warlock role, which is highly regarded as one of the top classes in the game’s current state. This class exhibits significant power in both player versus environment (PvE) scenarios but truly excels in player versus player (PvP) encounters. Let’s delve into a Warlock build within the realm of Crystal of Atlan, allowing you to grasp the ideal skill selection and stat priorities.

About the Warlock in CoA

The Warlock, although it is an advanced Magister class (
a.k.a. Mage
), has quite a different play style from the other two you can play, Elementalist and Magician. This one plays more like an assassin, having mostly melee attacks that deal high burst damage.

This unit boasts Area of Effect (AoE) abilities, rendering it useful for both player-versus-player (PvP) and player-versus-environment (PvE) scenarios. Additionally, it offers some sustain, a feature that can prove beneficial in combat situations. Here’s an example of a popular Warlock build that numerous players endorse:

Best Warlock builds in Crystal of Atlan

Since you can only have 4 active skills + 1 finisher (totalling 5 skills), here are a couple of build examples you can try out!

Early game build

  • Shadow Bolt
  • Curse of Agony
  • Dark Pulse
  • Life Drain
  • Forbidden – Obliteration (Finisher)

Make sure you get all the passives and level them up too. They will grant you additional power.

Mid-game build

  • Gift of the Raven
  • Harvest Soul
  • Soul Banishment
  • Demonbark Burst
  • Forbidden – Obliteration (Finisher)

During the middle phase of the game, experimenting with the Resentful Curse can be an enjoyable way to hone your skills for later. In the final stage, aim to accumulate as many instances of the curse on your opponents as you can, and then trigger it all simultaneously using Demonbark Burst.

Late game build

Row 1:

  • Styxian Illusion
  • Hand of Calamity
  • Harvest Soul
  • Demonbark Burst
  • Forbidden – Darknight Apostle

Row 2:

  • Chaos Tide
  • Soul Crusher
  • Magic Feathers
  • Dark Vortex
  • Forbidden – Obliteration

When you get to the final stage, your character should resemble something akin to this setup. With the Darknight Apostle finisher, it will persistently afflict enemies with Resentful Curse, amplifying the damage they sustain whenever you trigger Demonbark Burst.


The skill rotation in the end game should be something like this:

  1. Styxian Illusion
  2. Demonmark Burst
  3. Hand of Calamity
  4. Soul Crusher
  5. [FINISHER ]Forbidden – Darknight Apostle
  6. Chaos Tide
  7. Demonmark Burst

What stats should you prioritise on the Warlock?

The main stats you want to pay attention to (and ideally stack) are MATK and MCrit. These are ideal for the Warlock, since his attacks can already deal a lot of burst damage, and if you manage to crit as well, the numbers will be off the charts.

Best weapons for Warlock in CoA

In the final stages, you have multiple options for your weapon. Some are easier to acquire, whereas others may require a bit more effort or resources to obtain. Here they all are:

When it comes to end-game weapons, there’s a variety available. Some are straightforward to get hold of, while others might be a tad challenging to procure. I’ve compiled them all for you here:

  • Sacrasilver Focus (costs 300 Magitrite Particles) – a good lvl 55 weapon, which grants a lot of MATK and MCrit, as well as some Intelligence, and it grants level 1-20 skills +1.
  • Miragegold Focus (costs Sacrasilver Focus + 200 Magitrium) – it’s also a lvl 55 weapon, and it grants stats similar to Sacrasilver Focus (but higher), and it grants level 1-40 skills +1.
  • THE BEST: Tenebrous – Vuthe of the Void (obtained from Eye of the Void Dragon, which is exchanged from Epic Warlock Shards, and upgraded several times) – this weapon is the absolute best, since it grants you cooldown on the Finisher, as well as incredible stats. 

Best gear set for Warlock

The elusive Silent Feather set, a step-up from the Nocturnal Quill set, offers an extra +1 boost to your Warlock abilities. This top-tier equipment isn’t easy to acquire but definitely worth striving for.

  • Best Talisman: Adjudicator’s Talisman
  • Best Seal: Adjudicator’s Seal
  • Best Ring: Adjudicator’s Ring > Vindicator Ring
  • Best Necklace: Adjudicator’s Necklace > Vindicator Necklace
  • Best Bracers: Adjudicator’s Bracers > Vindicator Bracers
