Their main gimmick is that their primary attacks are charged with elemental damage with crowd-controlling properties. These Dark Mage variants originate from the Dragonfall Carnival event (Reintroduced as the Jester's Revenge Incursion). The Ice Mage is the frosty variant of the Dark Mage, there is not much difference between both versions except the Ice Mage having an attack that chills their targets and being vulnerable to fire damage. Aside from the incursion's gimmick, he is mostly similar to Malthius in general with a different visual. Maldonis is another special enemy/miniboss version of the Dark Mage that appears in Return of Maldonis Incursion. Malthius is the special enemy/miniboss version of the Dark Mage that has a chance to spawn in most gamemodes except campaign. Though for some reason, Dark Mages, Witherbeasts and Kobolds will always appear in almost every schedules too (including the ones introduced in floor 1 when appearing in later floors), regardless of their related prefix and suffix. In Onslaught, Dark Mages starts appearing from floor 2 onwards as part of schedules with "Healing" prefix or "Healers" suffix. However, while they might be a little useful early game, they are completely useless in late-game.ĭark Mages will first appear in Liferoot Forest Campaign and will be almost guaranteed to spawn in levels and gamemodes beyond. such as Range-Boom/Support-Boom Servos and Rangesplosion/Suppslosion Chips that have Dark Mages detonate on death, damaging other enemies.

Heroes can have an easier time deal with them if their weapons are equipped with M.O.D.S. such as Anti-Ranged Servo or Anti-Support Servo.

#DARK MAGE DROPS SERIES#
If you have Series Ev2 you can use her Reflect Beam defense in front of a blockade to bounce the projectiles away (With the exception of curse bolts which can wreck blockades if curse spells are consistently used). Like other ranged enemies, placing defenses that have long range or placing traps and auras in the lane will kill them before they get into range to attack (As their abilities can sometimes be a doozy in certain situations such as summoning skeletons within auras which can eat up the defense's attack limit).
