Adventure Star Mage Guide: How to Play the Mage

Hello friends, in this episode, we will bring you a guide for the mage heroes in Adventure Star. The game features a rich variety of heroes, among which mage heroes have more explosive output capabilities. Including these heroes in your team can help you advance through the main storyline stages more efficiently. Next, I will recommend a few mage heroes to you and explain their respective playstyles. Don't miss out if you're interested!

① Yin: This is a summoner-type mage. His primary ability is to fight with paper dolls in the middle ring. In actual combat, having him is like having two continuous damage dealers in your team, as he can also continuously deal damage with his basic attacks.

If you draw him, be sure to level him up to level 10 as soon as possible. At level 10, his attack speed increases by 20%, which also benefits the paper dolls he summons. Additionally, his passive "Merge" allows the paper dolls to release a chain lightning every four basic attacks, dealing an additional 60% chain damage to multiple enemies, making him very effective at clearing the field.

Moreover, at levels 5 and 20, Yin enhances himself by increasing the number and quality of the paper dolls he can summon, allowing him to summon two enhanced spirit curse paper dolls. In terms of output frequency and burst damage, he ranks among the top mage heroes.

② Otherworldly Flower: This is a flame mage with strong sustained damage. Her ultimate skill can inflict a burn effect on enemies that lasts for ten seconds, with damage occurring every 0.3 seconds. Since this damage is increased by 5% of her attack power, you only need to continuously upgrade and enhance her attack through gems.

Additionally, leveling her up not only steadily increases the burn damage but also unlocks the skills "Spread" and "Cataclysmic Fire." These skills allow the burn effect to spread to two other enemies after one enemy is killed and to deal an additional 3% of the enemy's maximum health as damage, making her particularly effective against high-health enemies.

It's worth noting that the burn effect can stack up to four layers, so there's no need to worry about slow enemy kills. By upgrading her attack speed, she can quickly stack the burn effect and rapidly eliminate enemies.

③ Rainbow Light: This is a lightning mage with outstanding burst damage. His characteristic is low-frequency but highly amplified output, evident from his initial two high-amplification AOE damage skills. First, his ultimate skill "Bad Weather" deals 110% of his attack power as damage, a straightforward area-of-effect strike. Second, his "Falling Star" skill deals 80% of his attack power as damage and comes with an additional displacement effect, allowing Rainbow Light to change position while damaging enemies, potentially drawing away enemy aggro if timed correctly.

Rainbow Light's initial attack power is higher than most heroes, so his skills often deal more burst damage. Upon reaching max level, he unlocks two passives, "Radiance" and "Luminance," which allow him to summon lightning clouds and meteors during basic attacks, dealing an additional 150% damage in total.

However, Rainbow Light's initial attack interval is 0.8 seconds, so although each basic attack deals 250% damage, his DPS in practice is similar to other mage heroes. These weaknesses can be mitigated by upgrading his attack and attack speed.

④ Tidal: She currently has the highest numerical amplification among mage heroes in the game. Her initial ultimate skill "Tide Lament" deals 900% of her attack power as AOE damage. This skill manifests as a surging wave that can penetrate and hit multiple rows of enemies, covering almost the entire screen.

However, Tidal's initial attack power is only 2525, which is about one-third lower than other mages. But her attack interval is shorter, and at level 10, she gains an additional 10% attack power and attack speed. Her passive "Amplifying Rhythm" triggers a water wave every four attacks, dealing an additional 120% damage.

Furthermore, Tidal's growth potential is quite high. At level 5, she gains a 10% chance to trigger "Oceanic Leap," dealing 220% of her attack power as damage. At level 20, all of her attacks are doubled in frequency, significantly increasing both her basic and skill attack power.

This concludes the guide for the mage heroes in Adventure Star. I hope this helps you understand how to configure your mage heroes. Each of these heroes has extremely powerful area-of-effect damage capabilities, and once fully developed, they can easily help you defeat large numbers of enemies. Give them a try!
