Fortune Teller

Merle was originally unplayable and relegated to making a cameo running a shop where players could obtain characters and upgrade orbs for older events. However, due to fan demand, she was made into a playable character after the game's first anniversary.

To fit the vocations available in the game, Merle was made into a priest. This allowed her to focus on supportive spells while having access to one offensive spell: Palm of Purification.

While the event lasted, she would gain double exp, and having her as Luminary Leader's parter would grant additional tokens and upgrade jewels.
