Description

The character design draft for Clockie, where a few pen strokes already gave the dream a shape. Used to level up Traces slightly for Erudition characters.

Lore

Various original sketches of Clockie are widely circulated on Penacony. Exactly who captured the fleeting spark of inspiration and rang the first sound of "tick-tock" on the canvas? "Tick-tock! You... can see me?"

Farm it smart

A Trace (skill tree) material. Harsh truth: traces devour materials late-game, especially levels 8–10. Do not level evenly — pour into Skill/Ultimate (your main damage) first, Basic ATK last.
