Introduction

Artist has tons of great leveling skills as she is packed with a ton of Area of Effect(AoE) skills in her kit, with Paint: Starry Night has a exclusive support tripod to help out solo contents and leveling as well which increases the damage of the skill a ton. But most of the skills have decent amount of animation time that needs to get used to, which will be fix when in high gearscore optimization phase.

During the leveling process, focus on equipping the highest Item Level gear while prioritizing the Crit and Swiftness Combat Stats to increase your damage and clear speed. To level quickly, focus on doing Main Story Quest with some exceptions.

For a walk-through of the leveling quests, check out the Leveling Guide.

Skill Point Allocation

Allocate Skill Points to gain Skill Tree for your most powerful Skills. Below are the notable Character Levels to obtain the most important Skill Tree. Leftover points can be spent on secondary Skills of your choice. Make sure you reallocate those points into the main Skills when needed.

Check the Skill Point Guide for more details.

Level 20-21: Upgrade Paint: Pouncing Tiger and pick up Paint: Starry Night(20 points, remove points from other skills) for more damage and another AoE Clearing.

  • Paint: Starry Night deals a ton of damage alone if you need to clear more packs.
  • You can choose to fully upgrade Paint: Sun Well early for massive damage boost for yourself to burst down story dungeon bosses and elites quicker.
