Mage

Mage

Role: Ranged Area Damage
Damage Type: Magical
Combat Range: Long
Primary Weapon: Mage Staff

The Mage controls the battlefield through elemental magic, area damage, and debilitating effects.

Mages can burn enemies, slow their movement, stun groups, and strike several targets at once. Their strength comes from positioning and preparation rather than direct durability.

A Mage who remains at a safe distance can control entire encounters. A Mage caught without an escape route can be quickly overwhelmed.

Combat Style

The Mage is built for players who enjoy controlling fights from a distance with powerful magic. Fire and ice spells provide a mix of heavy area damage and crowd control, while slows, stuns, and teleportation help the Mage keep enemies where they want them and escape when necessary. The class rewards players who plan their spell combinations carefully and is especially dangerous when several enemies are grouped together.

Abilities

Arcane Missile - Passive

Repeated spellcasting builds arcane energy.

After casting enough abilities, several magical missiles appear and automatically seek nearby enemies.

Fireball - Basic Attack

Launch a burning projectile toward the target.

Fireball provides consistent ranged damage and allows the Mage to pressure enemies without entering close combat.

Blink

Teleport a short distance in the direction you are facing.

Blink can escape melee attackers, cross dangerous ground, or reposition for another spell.

Frost Nova

Release a wave of ice spikes around the targeted area.

Enemies caught by Frost Nova are damaged and heavily hindered, making them easier to avoid or strike with additional spells.

Meteor

Call an explosive meteor down upon the battlefield.

The impact damages and burns enemies, leaving a dangerous burning area behind for a short time.

Quake

Combo: Blink followed by Fireball

Create a sudden earthquake around your current position.

Nearby enemies are damaged and stunned, making Quake valuable after teleporting away from attackers.

Inferno Chains - Ultimate

Summon multiple chains of fire that restrain enemies.

The chains rupture the ground and trigger a powerful upward explosion, stunning and damaging targets caught within the area.

Party Role

In group content, Mages are most effective behind the frontline, where they can focus on clustered enemies and control dangerous areas with fire and ice. Well-timed stuns can interrupt threatening attacks, while Blink should usually be kept ready as an escape when positioning goes wrong. Staying away from bosses and other dangerous melee targets is essential.

The Mage becomes especially powerful when another class can gather several enemies into one place for its area attacks.

Early Access Notice

Mage damage, elemental effects, area sizes, teleportation, and crowd-control durations may continue to change during Early Access.
