Arc Tracer

Specialty

Add upgrades the AI of his Dynamos and gains the ability to summon Drones to assist him in battle through Dynamo Factory. Each Drone is unique, and Add can switch to whatever Drone he needs to best fit the situation. In addition to Drones, Arc Tracer uses various mechanical weaponry ranging from laser cannons to flying disks.

Background

“Tch, gathering El energy is so annoying.. it's such a chore..!”

Add continues his research on El energy, but gathering samples proved to be too troublesome.

“I should fix up my Dynamos so it can do all the annoying tasks for me.”

While looking into how he could transform his trusty Dynamos into intelligent energy gatherers, Add hears interesting news from the Elder village alchemist, Echo. They were schematics for higher tier technology which let a person command their tools as if they were minions.

“This is an ancient schematic that my father found during his journey… I thought it could be some use to you… I'm not too interested in this kind of technology… and its too hard to implement… so… you want to try researching this instead?” Echo said to Add.

Add worked with Echo to research and build the technology from the schematic. The new transformation technology now made it possible for Add's Dynamos to move with ease. Add continues his adventures to collect more El energy, his new Dynamos making the task much easier.

First Class Advancement

After completing the Tracer quest chain, Add can decide between advancing as a Psychic Tracer, an Arc Tracer, or a Time Tracer.
Arc Tracer can also be obtained by using the Cash Shop item: Arc Harddisk .

Arc Tracer

  1. Collect 4 drops from Bats in 2-2 on any difficulty.
    • It would be easiest to just run 2-2 on Normal mode, kill the first 2 bats in only the first map of the stage, leave, and reenter until you get all 4.
    • These drops are relatively easy to obtain in only a few runs.
  2. Collect 1 drop from Nasod Banthus in 2-3 on any difficulty.
  3. Collect 1 drop from Wally No. 8 on Hard Mode (☆☆) or above.
  4. Clear 2-5 on Very Hard (☆☆☆) 2 times.

At Lv35, a Arc Tracer can advance into a Mastermind.

Trivia

  • Arc Tracer is conceptually similar to Code: Architecture. This is shown as Add wearing more upscale white clothing and is further supported by him wearing far more elegant formal attire when job advancing.
    • He also has an increased dependence on other entities to assist him combat.
  • Arc Tracer design seems to based on cats, as shown his front coat pockets having triangle flaps on top of them to show as cat ears. The regular 'on' symbol that Add sports on his coat back pocket also have 2 triangles to show as cat ears.
    • Mastermind also maintain his 'cat' design by keeping the cat hood that he wore since base job. Also at job advancement event, players are given a mini-me cat version of Apocalypse upon advancing.
