Tips and Details

The total MP cost of the Secret Art can be reduced further with the Light Trait on Rakshasa Stance 1: Soul Reaping, and the Regenerating (1) Trait on Rakshasa Stance 3: Spear Prison, potentially reducing the cost to 180 MP.
As the orbs are spread apart a bit, this Art can only deal all of its damage to large enough targets.
- Using a skill such as Suppression: Energy or Vortex Energy after the secret art can pull enemies through the orbs as they explode, allowing the art to deal much more damage even on smaller targets.
- Player-sized opponents will be pushed slightly to the right as a result of Rakshasa Stance 3: Spear Prison's suctions and Purgatory's orb explosions. To ensure more orb explosions are landed, it is recommended to start the secret art standing about a player's-width to the left of the target.
Purgatory itself cannot be mana broken, but opponents can Mana Break from the individual skills to avoid its damage.
Due to the strange behavior of Rakshasa Stance 1: Soul Reaping when used close to a target, the Secret Art can actually be started with a mere 2 energy instead of the required 5. This is because Soul Reaping cancels itself and gives you 2 energy (thus 3 in total on 1 target) before Energy Burst is cast (which consumes 3 energy).

Trivia

In the original design, Purgatory was called 절명 (絕命). The old skill name is used for one of the Exorcism Stance 4: Darkness Sever's skill voices now.
Purgatory has the highest level requirement of Ara's 2nd job secret arts as Secret Tiger Arts - 'Fierce Tiger', Secret Phantom Fox Arts - 'Pulverization', and Secret Turtle Arts - 'Blast' can all be used after level 35. Purgatory, however, can only be used after level 55, upon which Rakshasa Stance 4: Soul Escape is acquired.
