Taoist

The Taoist (Jeon Woo-chi) is a grade B Spear Mercenary.

The Taoist is a powerful exorcist of the Chosun Dynasty. With the power of his charms, he can bend spirits and ghosts to his will, turning his power into his own.

With Spirit Echo, he draws spiritual power from his spear to deal extra damage. His Vital Seal spell prevents his enemies from calling upon their own power.

You can have up to 1 of this mercenary.

Assessment[]

The Taoist is one of the best mercenaries in the game. His skills are excellent, even for end game. Burning Essence is one of very few skills that can increase Action Power and his Vital Seal can seal a full row of enemies, including bosses. He can also be a front row tank.

Even though he is an Item Mall mercenary, at Grade B, his upgrades with Phoenix Soul Jewels instead of Multi-Hued Soul Jewels for upgrades make him OP in terms of cost.
