Early Game Guide - Mage
This is the Early Game guide for Mage. It contains basic information for all builds and then some specific builds to help you start!
Builds
Below are links to different builds!
PVE
PVP
Foundations
These are the foundations to all the builds!
Gear
The Gear you need for these builds is Skill Crit
Once you get all Skill Crit I would start adding Stun in
Prayer
You want 5x Global ATK at your highest available rarity
(Boss DMG for PVE)
Awakening
ATK > Skill Crit DMG >> Skill DMG
Souls
PVP:
ATK > HP > Crit Res
Crit DMG > Batk DMG before or after HP once they’re Pink
PVE:
ATK
Combo DMG > ATK > Crit DMG > Batk DMG once they’re Pink
——
Pink Soul Order:
Crit DMG > ATK > Batk DMG > HP > DEF
Avians
Avians:
Dense Cloud → This is great for PVE or long PVP
Pumpkin Witch → This is good for high damage PVE or PVP
———
Affixes (PVP):
Talent Skill → This is an easy affix to start with
Multi-Talented, Inert Gas, Self-Centered → I would aim for these next
Barrel Dodge → Also not bad
———
Affixes (PVE):
Talent Skill → This is an easy affix to start with
Multi-Talented, Inert Gas, Self-Centered → I would aim for these next
Runes
There is not much change between PVP and PVE for these
For both I would go for 4x Skill DMG and 2x Crit Res
On each rune you want Pink Skill Crit DMG - Or Stun if you aim for a Stun build
For the secondaries, the left side will always be the same 3
However on the right they can change;
Top Right (Rune 4) → Skill DMG
Middle Right (Rune 5) → Combo/Counter/Pal DMG Res all work (PVP) or Batk DMG Res (PVE)
I would prioritise Combo/Pal for PVP
Bottom Right (Rune 6) → Crit Res/Skill Res (PVP) or Boss DMG(PVE)
Rune positions are most important. Having Pink runes on 1, 4, 5 and 6 with the above secondaries is important
Divining
Life Path
Your main obejective here will be Global ATK as there is an unfortunate lack of choices for you
——
World Path
Pierce is your main thing from here
After this you can get some defensive stats like Ignore Combo
Guardian
The main ones Early Game are the Energy Regen SPD ones so I recommend getting these
Remold Priorities -> Global ATK/Ignore Combo as there is an unfortunate lack of options here also
Orange
Green
Blue
Purple
Resource Allocation
Where to put your resources in Tech / Feathers / Sacred Tree?
Simple… Attack!!!
You can add some HP later
