These class mechanics give each class a unique feel from one another and provide different ways to experience and enjoy the game. Once you have used a character to complete the main story of the campaign and the capstone dungeons that come after it, you should try out each other remaining classes. This way, you will be able to experience each of them for endgame activities.

The Barbarian makes use of the Arsenal System as their unique mechanic. This system will allow them to select one of their equipped weapons for each of their Attack Skills. This will grant those skills additional bonuses. In addition to this Arsenal System, the Barbarian has a Technique Slot that they will need to unlock. This slot will grant them one extra weapon power.

The Arsenal System for the Barbarian is automatically unlocked once they reach level 5. However, once you have reached level 15 with the Barbarian, you will be offered a quest that is unique to the Barbarian called Masters of Battle. Once you have completed this quest, you will unlock the Barbarian’s Technique Slot.

All of the Arsenal System bonuses start at the first level and will go up as you engage in combat. It is worth noting that the experience gained is based on each individual hit, not on whether or not the enemies have been slain. Using different weapons will increase the level of weapons of the same type and will use the related bonus. The Technique Slot will grant you one additional weapon power. You are able to choose this, and thus, it can be a vital component of the build you are aiming to use in endgame activities.
