This time it's another look at the Mage. She always had a strange playstyle in Wayward Souls, as the only all-ranged character. It's feels methodical and patient to me. Some people really like to play as the Mage and think she's strong, other people feel the opposite.
SPOILERS:
The end of the video features a fight with the boss of the first area. I have very low health once I get to him, but full abilities. I edited out me using the lighting spell on him because I totally whiffed it for no good reason. This way no one gets to see my shame.
Some notes:
I get two ability upgrades in the same category in this run, they're both for her "offensive" spell ability rather than her "defensive". The first one an AOE stun ice ball, and the second is a very strong and very short range electric spell.
I think we still need to do some more camera adjustments, especially for going north. We'll get more feedback on this as we go into a wider testing phase.
Her starting defensive ability can nullify enemy projectiles. In the video I destroy some dynamite that's mid-air, and also knock a flying pickaxe backwards. Not shown: Me screwing this up a lot.
