When to Pick Mage Emblem
Decision cues for when this emblem beats the alternatives.
Default for any mid laner running a conventional mage kit: Kagura, Pharsa, Yve, Xavier, Novaria, Valentina. If the kit leans on combo rotations, you want CDR early and Lethal Ignition late.
Take Assassin Emblem instead on burst mages who fight in sub-3-second windows (Eudora, Aurora, Lylia) where penetration beats sustained magic power.
