To do this,head to Old Gridania (X:8.0 Y:10.3) and talk to the Cheerless Hearer.
Luckily, they’re nothing too difficult.
Let’s break it down into parts, starting with your single-target rotation.
Subtractive Palette
After doing your basic rotation, you’ll see your Subtractive Palette light up.
This grants you the ability to usemonochrome tones.
What this means is that you now have access to stronger spells.
These spells areBlizzard in Cyan, Stone in Yellow, Thunder in Magenta, and Comet in Black.
Your rotation from here on out will look the same as above, just with different abilities.
Blizzard in Cyan becomes Stone in Yellow, and Stone in Yellow will turn into Thunder in Magenta.
AOE Rotation
Your AOE rotation will look a lot like your single-target one.
Just like with your single-target rotation, this will eventually cause your Subtractive Palette to light up.
There are three different types of motifs that you should familiarize yourself with.
The first is your creature motifs.
Your creature motifs will go in the first slot with the Pom Motif.
Using your Pom Motif will grant you your Pom Muse.
From there, you’ll paint your Wing Motif, which will grant you a use of Winged Muse.
Winged Muse will combo right into the ability,Mog of Ages.
Mog of Ages is pretty flashy, but it’s not the end of the combo by any means.
Next is the Claw Motif, which will grant you the Claw muse.
The final creature motif is the Maw Motif.
This will grant you the Fanged Motif, and that will combo intoPortrait of the Madeen.
The Striking Muse will combo into the following spells:Hammer Stamp > Hammer Brush > and Polishing Hammer.
It is called the Starry Sky Motif, and it will go in the third slot of your canvas.
Using your Starry Sky Motif will grant you the ability to use your Starry Muse ability.
Once you cast these five spells, you’ll be granted an instant cast of yourRainbow Drip ability.
Pictomancer comes with two defensive spells.
The first one is Tempera Coat.
It will grant you a shield that’s equal to20 percent of your total HP.
If the shield is broken, it will reduce the cooldown of the ability from120 seconds to 60 seconds.
The second defensive ability you have access to is Tempera Grassa.
Tempera Grassa willgrant a shield to the entire party that’s equal to10 percent of their total HP.
Like with Tempera Coat, if the shield is broken, it will reduce the cooldown.
