Mage Tips & How to Use

Use the Terrain to Your Advantage

The Mage can cast powerful spells that allow you to deal damage from a distance. Always use the fighting area to your advantage and keep your distance from enemies so you can be free to attack without the risk of receiving damage.

Cycle Through Different Elements

When casting Magic, hold down Ability and you will be able to toggle between even more different spells. You can cast Firaga to deal tons of damage and follow up with a Soul Burst. Make sure to plan when and where you attack as you won't be able to move while casting these spells.
