Astronomer

The is one of the Characters in For The King. He can be unlocked in the Lost Civilization DLC.

Description
The Astronomer knows well the power that exists beyond the heavens and has managed to harness its dark energy to protect everyone within.

Strategy

 * Strangely, he has the Support Range ability passively as well as applied to the Star Wand. One could possibly hand the Star Wand to another magic caster to cover more ground in the early game a whole lot quicker.
 * His Black Hole ability can be detrimental to grinding due to a loss of XP and Gold, as well as enemy-specific loot, if it triggers. Keep this in mind when you have him in your party.
 * The Star Matter gained from triggering Black Hole can be useful for selling, giving you an easy 18 Gold early on but quickly stacking as you progress the main quest. It can also be used to take on Scourges or other tougher fights earlier, saving valuable time.
 * His ability will trigger with any single target attack, regardless what weapon (or lack of) is used. It even works with status attacks that deal no damage. This gives him more flexibility in weaponry and often lends to him becoming a good choice as a resistance tank.





Unlocking the Astronomer
He can be bought from the Lore Store for 1 Lore after purchasing the Lost Civilization DLC.

Trivia
The Astrolabe the Astronomer starts with is based on a real instrument of the same name. This was historically used to perform many functions such as measuring angles of elevation, identifying celestial bodies, and triangulating position of unknown bodies through known ones.
