Hello everyone and welcome to our [b]9th Darfall update[/b]. It's me Lukas and today I’m going to show you the the new [b]Archmage[/b] hero. Also don’t forget to take a look at the previous [url=https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1961600/view/3721704616619976354?l=english]Axemaster devblog[/url] if you missed it. [h1]Archmage[/h1] You all know the [b]Archmage[/b] from the current Demo. He is a mage-class hero thats wield magic and shoots projectiles from afar. The [b]Archmage[/b] excels at crown control and area damage, so pick him if you want to clear large hordes of invading undead.

[img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42663831/a1c0e63bdc76eef50faba4f45a0e0d33f4233204.png[/img] The [b]Archmage[/b] also has an armor penetration, since magic can penetrate armor, so its also good at dealing with armored elites. [h2]Abilities[/h2] As we have changed how the spell book works in the new version of the game, you can try out all the 6 abilities by picking 3, then resetting them each 24h for free if you change your mind or want to pick a different build. [h3]One of the first abilities you all love is the well known Fireball[/h3] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42663831/529e44cbeab23f0ddf500ece4c1a04c727463b4f.png[/img] This is the best single target ability when you want to melt your target fast. [h3]The next ability is the Frost Ray[/h3] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42663831/de497264b9b82a6da1599192423735cda004673e.png[/img] This literally blasts all enemies in front of the hero and can control large crowds of enemies at once. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42663831/efc72c2954f4d3d6faa367196fc38527981811a8.png[/img] [h3]Another ability is the Fire Circle[/h3] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42663831/a62248e7daab65bfe1667db1b3f510a79fd94f8e.png[/img] Another great area damage ability for those large hordes of stupid undead. [h3]If you wanna stop all your enemies, there is a Freezing Nova[/h3] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42663831/be0fed8c9b3e3f05595613f6f47e7f5563b0f9cb.png[/img] Crowd control ability that can freeze an entire horde of enemies in place. Combine it with Fire Circle and Frost Ray and you can only imagine the effect this will have on those poor undead. [h3]The second last ability is the Healing Circle[/h3] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42663831/1e65a0252a55407e4403c3273448a91c461bdc59.png[/img] This is one of two support abilities that can heal up your friendly units when you are out in the wild and exploring. [h3]And the last ability is the Arcane Strength[/h3] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42663831/df414de07bc0ae63e1f32d0aa94d713984482420.png[/img] The second support ability if you want to empower your units to deal the maximum damage. I hope you liked the mixture of the abilities that can offer different styles of gameplay during your survival. See you in the next debvblog post, where we will reveal the last mystery hero.
