Lost Ark's new card-throwing arcanist class is basically Gambit from the X-Men

pcgamer.com:

The latest class to join Korean fashion-fantasy MMO Lost Ark is the arcanist, a third advanced class for mages alongside the existing bard and sorceress. Arcanists are part of July's Spells in Spades update(opens in new tab), which also adds support effects to make climbing the item levels faster, higher difficulty levels for the Valtan Legion Raid and Abyssal Dungeons, a pool party event with water pistols, and beach-themed cosmetics.

The arcanist's skills are all about throwing hails of explosive cards around, with spells like Unlimited Shuffle, which picks up enemies then slams them back down again. The class is designed around either using skills that build stacks and then following with a Ruin skill, which does more damage the more stacks you've piled up, or relying on random draws from your Card Deck. This set of higher-powered effects can be accessed once you've filled up the arcanist's specialty meter by landing attacks, and includes the Ghost Card, which disables collision with monsters while buffing your move speed and reducing damage by half, and the Mayhem Card, which increases your attack speed every time you use a skill.

To help you get an arcanist to the endgame, or level up any other characters in need of it, the Spells in Spades update comes with a powerpass to immediately boost a character to item level 1302 and place them at the end of the Punika storyline. To get access to that you'll have to finish Punika with another character first. The update also adds a 'Hyper Express Event' that you can enroll one character of item level 1302 in, which gives missions whose rewards will help get them to item level 1370 faster.

That still won't be enough to get you into the new inferno difficulty version of the
