Mage Guide
Arcane Masters of Burst and Control
Mages are magic damage dealers who dominate the mid lane with powerful area-of-effect abilities and burst combos. They provide essential magic damage that prevents enemies from stacking only physical defense. Mages scale with magic power items and cooldown reduction, becoming increasingly threatening as they complete their core build.
