Geneticists are a rather complex class that require a lot of hard work and dedication to master, but pays off greatly in the end with the ability to solo MVPs with ease and excel in performance at PvP. Geneticists are essentially the best MVP class in the game in terms of versatility and damage per second, but they're also the most expensive class to maintain. Everything about the Geneticist has improved from its former Biochemist self, including good Area skills and the ability to hit Ghost property monsters with Cart Cannon, much better plant summons, the ability to make even more powerful potions and bombs, and a new evolution of Homunculus that will grant powerful support abilities to its owner.
Mastersmiths already brought cart skills beyond the level of a Merchant class with Cart Boost and High Speed Cart Ram, but Geneticists go even further. Improving the Mastersmith's Cart Boost by giving it attack boost, even better Movement Speed boost and adding new skills that allow Geneticists to battle using their cart as a weapon. the Geneticist has become a powerful class capable of destroying any object in its way.

editHomunculus S
edit- Main article: Homunculus System
NOTE: The section below may be outdated due to numerous changes since it was originally written. Do not be surprised if some of the descriptions differ from the other reputable website contents or current in-game descriptions and/or functions of this system.
Here is a quick breakdown of the homunculus and their uses:
- Lif: more of a novelty character. Its skills are fairly worthless and offer nothing to the player other than a walking speed boost that will be replaced anyways as a Geneticist with Cart Boost. Its attack is low, has no burst attacks, and its healing skill, Healing Hands, does not heal much and is generally not worth using. It is strongly advised NOT to use it as a base, as it generally has no practical use.
- Amistr: generally the best base for a Homunculus S. Its Amistr Bulwark skill is very valuable for MVPing later on as it boosts VIT and even offer some defense that can be useful for PvP. Castling can be very useful to rapidly move around and escape dire situations. Its high base HP can help Homunculus S reach over 200 thousand HP due to scaling.
- Filir: can get high flee which doesn't get reduced by mob amount. The big downside is the lack of VIT, which carries over to Homunculus S. Offensive skills are mostly useless cause not enough hit at the effective levels, Its loyal evolved skill, S.B.R.44, is usually skipped as it is not terribly useful (could be used by spending homunculus tablets, although not recommended).
- Vanilmirth: Best for brewing and possibly leveling before 3rd class. It offers the high VIT and Max HP, has a decent offensive skill. Its Caprice skill can be unreliable, as it picks a random property to use, but one of the only ways to hit higher level monsters. It is a solid choice though for all players to use as a base, and many players skip the loyal evolved skill, Self-Destruction, as it is not used very often. It is also desirable as a base for a Homunculus S, for players who plan on becoming pure brewers, because Instruction Change increases the brewing success rate.
