Explain in your own words what makes the intro cutscene to Wynncraft cinematic. What is done good and what could be improved on?

Why do you want to join the Ability Design team?

What unique perspective do you think you would bring to the team?

You are tasked with redesigning Shield Strike to have it play a more active role in Paladin's approach to combat. What changes would you make to improve it? You may not entirely rework the ability.

What do you think about the Trickster archetype? What are the problems you think it has, and how would you begin to approach fixing them?

Design a brand new ability for the Boltslinger archetype. Try to integrate parts of Archer's kit that you feel the archetype currently underutilizes. Explain your thought process behind the ability.

You are tasked with reworking the Windsweeper ability, and Winded as a status effect. What would you do to maintain its relevance in Riftwalker's gameplay loop while opening the archetype up to more mechanics beyond this ability? You must keep some form of Main Attack integration.

Currently, Double Totem and Sacrificial Shrine are a dominant combination. What changes would you make to enable single Totem Acolyte to be more competitive, without completely preventing Double Totem from being used successfully with the archetype? You may only make small changes to abilities and the ability tree; no major ability reworks or redesigns.

You've just been accepted onto the Ability Team, and Bloomi is coming out soon! We need new major abilities for every archetype. Pick any archetype and design a fourth red node for it. You have complete creative freedom, but the ability should fit with the rest of the archetype.

Comment on the following theoretical changes to abilities. Are they bad, good? How so?

• Arrow Storm now has as much range as Arrow Bomb.
• An optional ability node is added which gives Charge a vertical velocity angle when aiming.
• While Vanished, you can now attack and cast spells without being forced to unvanish.

Which of these abilities would work best for the Fallen archetype? Explain your reasoning.

Try to explain how you think you would work within the team. How would ability design be for you in a team setting? How would you give and receive feedback?

You are an Ability Designer, and a new ability or rework you've proposed has reached a stalemate in discussion, with a 50/50 on adding it to the game. What would you do in this scenario, and why?

Which of the following areas of the community would you consider yourself to be active in? Select all that apply. (multiple choice, pick any number of options)

You may consider elements such as, but are not limited to:
