Infuser: class guide and playstyle

What does Infuser bring to a party?

Role: Element-powered melee / support. Core idea: Uses elemental infusions as a persistent engine.

Agree on element supply with the party before you select an infusion-heavy hand. Prepare the element, then spend it on a turn when the persistent benefit and immediate effect both matter. Avoid treating setup as free damage.

How do you unlock this class?

Campaign unlock; exact digital requirements not yet independently checked.

How should you build around its strengths?

Build around a compact set of mutually useful infusions and reliable element generation. Add movement and ordinary attacks that remain useful when an element is unavailable. Choose whether you are supplying your own engine or sharing with an ally.

1. Reserve a real element source for the desired infusion.
2. Play the infusion when its immediate effect and persistent benefit both contribute.
3. Continue with ordinary useful actions until another worthwhile infusion window appears.

Which cards are named in digital sources?

These names are corroborated by official digital announcements. Their current level, full wording and unlock requirements should be checked in the in-game Codex.

• Imbue with Life — official digital reference.
• Slashing Cyclone — official digital reference.
• Rising Momentum — official digital reference.
• Gale Barrage — official digital reference.
• Obsidian Spear — official digital reference.

What commonly goes wrong?

Infusions are not costless extra turns. Imbue with Life can fundamentally change what the character can do, and canceling its persistent effect changes that state. A general healer cannot necessarily remove a condition intentionally maintained by an active class card.

Where should you go next?

Read the Infuser build framework, compare party composition, and review card economy before committing to a long scenario.

Evidence boundary: Class alias and broad digital combat role confirmed by publisher announcement; exact 1.0 card text, perks and unlock path require Codex verification. Build is editorial guidance, not hands-on testing.
