In Wizard of Legend 2, would-be legends from across Lanova assemble to test their skills in the trials of the Floating Lands. Each brings their unique strategies, elemental proclivities, and mix of powerful Arcana to prove to the Wizard Council they’re the best of the best of the best. Some will skirt success. Most will fail spectacularly.
In this first installment of Almost Legendary, we chronicle the tale and tactics of one such contender who could have become a legend…but instead will go down in history as just another pretender.
Chilling Shock
Wizard of Origin: Maestro, the superconductor Cause of Defeat: Mis-timed double dash into the void
This particularly devious wizard built his fate around the Lighting Conductor Relic, which massively increases lighting damage on frozen enemies. (If you see it as a starting choice in your run, get ready to bring the pain!) Maestro then chose the Ice Blast Signature Arcana, which freezes enemies in a small cone in front of you on a brief cooldown. Since he planned to battle up close, he chose Lightning Spinner, which works like a fast-hitting electric flail, as his Basic Arcana. (Unleash it with abandon and watch your frozen foes sizzle to a crisp.)
In keeping with the theme of “up close and personal,” the Signature Arcana Galvanizing Discharge buffets enemies around you with a thunderous blast and knocks them back, though any other Lighting-based Standard Arcana will be effective if you choose to try this yourself.
Two Relics gave this build that extra oomph he sought: Battery of Tanaris, which grants yet another boost to your Lightning damage, and Arctic Gloves, which keeps enemies frozen longer. If you manage to get this setup rolling yourself, you’ll almost feel sorry for the inhabitants of the Labyrinth. Just learn from Maestro, and don’t let all that lightning prevent you from spotting the pits.
Wizard’s Arsenal
Developer’s Notes: “Ice Blast is a versatile Standard Arcana that can benefit all kinds of builds. In this instance, its confined area-of-effect synergizes with the other close-range Arcana, but it would be just as useful as a disengagement tool in builds where you want to stay at longer range. When fully charged, it becomes immensely useful as a means to reset the battlefield. –Game Director Aryan Bina
