* DeathOfAThousandCuts: Don't be fooled by their very low attack power for a Caster, their quick attack speed combined with their drone can rack up damage surprisingly fast.

'''Primal''' Casters are similar to Core Casters, but are innately capable of inflicting elemental damage without any outside assistance. However, their main specialty is actually exploiting openings caused by elemental damage rather than causing it, making them the damage-dealing cousins of Ritualist Supporters.

** Ebenholz is geared towards dealing massive single-hit damage against bosses and elite-grade enemies without accidentally wasting them on weak mobs due to his talent and S3's enemy filter, making him excellent at one-shotting tough enemies without giving them a chance to retaliate or cause problems, as well as skipping health thresholds.

** Dusk combines crowd control, damage, and summoning in one package with her [=S3=] and area-of-effect burst damage in her [=S2=] making her a very versatile option. In particular, the Freelings she summons with her trait and her [=S3=] are very useful in their ability to bog down enemies in killzones and draw ranged attacks away from her and
allies.

* Passenger, Carnelian, and Goldenglow have kits offering crowd control mixed with DPS, allowing them to take on the role of a pseudo-Decel Binder Supporter with superior damage than dedicated slowers via their skills. The nature of Passenger's and Goldenglow's skills (particularly their third ones) in tandem with their class traits can allow them to reach faraway threats that no other Casters (not even Eyjafjalla) could.

'''Primal''' Casters are innately capable of inflicting elemental damage without any outside assistance along with the usual properties of Core Casters, making them the damage-dealing cousins of Ritualist Supporters.

* OvershadowedByAwesome: In the current meta, almost all Casters are outclassed by Eyjafjalla in many cases. Eyjafjalla has extremely powerful [=AoE=] skills that allow her to deal with enemy hordes, but since she is classified as a low-cost Core Caster, she is not shackled by the high DP cost and slow attack speed make Splash Casters AwesomeButImpractical. This gives Eyjafjalla insane burst damage potential that no other Caster can match. While the other 6-star Casters may not be able to match her in terms of overall DPS in general situations, they can offer some unique utility that Eyjafjalla cannot replicate in [[SituationalSword certain situations]]:
** Ifrit has a unique narrow and long-reaching attack pattern, along with a huge ATK and debuff, making her useful when she's facing down a narrow chokepoint and enemies are funnelled into entering it. Her debuff faciliates her own attacks and helps other Arts damage dealers simultaneously, whereas Eyjafjalla simply would be dealing ScratchDamage against enemies with high RES, which Ifrit will ''never'' do because of this specific quirk.
** Mostima, Passenger, Carnelian, and Goldenglow have a kit offering crowd control (with the latter four having some DPS mixed in), allowing them to take on the role of a pseudo-Decel Binder Supporter with superior damage than dedicated slowers via their skills. The nature of Passenger's and Goldenglow's skills (particularly their third ones) in tandem with their class traits can allow them to reach faraway threats that no other Casters (not even Eyjafjalla) could.
** Ceobe's skillset is dedicated towards higher single target tank-shredding damage against foes, sometimes letting her outdamage Eyjafjalla against enemies with high DEF, especially in contexts like Contingency Contract.
** Dusk combines crowd control, damage, and summoning in one package with her [=S3=] and area-of-effect burst damage in her [=S2=] making her a very versatile option. In particular, the Freelings she summons with her trait and her [=S3=] are very useful in their ability to bog down enemies in killzones and draw ranged attacks away from her and allies.
** Ebenholz is geared towards dealing high single target damage against bosses and elite-grade enemies without accidentally wasting them on weak mobs, emphasized by his first talent and third skill, the latter letting his first attack after skill activation hit for huge damage (if he manages to save up 4 stored attacks beforehand), followed by a fast auto attack afterwards for the remainder of his skill duration.

* LoopholeAbuse: If any Caster of this archetype is frozen, bound or stunned while their drone is released, then the drone is still able to attack once it's released. The drones can even attack targets outside of the Caster's range if the locked-on enemy moves away.
