Perhaps the most obvious tactic would be giving all units, or just the Arcanist, equipment that grants immunity or absorbs Darkness, in which the Arcanist would function exactly like a Scholar. If this method is used, the Arcanist will always be able to heal himself and his allies, due to the skill Lv.? Shadow Flare. Notable Arcanists in the game include Duke Snakeheart, a Boss of Duelhorn, and Madreth, clan leader of Nu Mou Nobles.
