Fire – Dual Mage Mayham

This guide is part of my article series on fire builds. If this build is not to your likeing, have a look at the rest of my builds on the lightning build page. I have multiple builds for any taste available, IB, PvE, arena/ToS builds and F2P/cheap builds.

This article is on dual mage fire. There are many slow-sustain setups that relies on auras and slowly out healing to remain high on troop count throughout the battle. It is a powerful strategy for builds of any element – but can be countered by heavy nuke damage: Enter dual mage fire!

I am personally running it with Baldwin because I like the magic damage debuff, but it will work just as well – maybe even better – with Merlin as the second mage.

This is a F2P build able to kill even big spenders. You can unlock Baldwin for free via Events and max him only with gems. Making this build F2P. If you don’t want to do that, run Merlin instead!

This build perform well versus shadow, however, it looses big time to holy! It also has a hard time nuking through proper earth setups, but is otherwise a very good and solid build. Can be altered to include Khan-fire (see guide) if you are having issues with earths and holys.

Setup

This setup is pretty standard and revolves around pumping big magic burst damage from Wu and Baldwin. Hippo provides solid buffs and a strong energy suppresion from her ultimate giving you the edge on first hits with ultimates and thus the ability to snowball troop count advantage. William provides invaluable crit-buff pumping your mages to the max.

You want to run this passive loadout:

Empress Wu: Fire Nova + Flame Protection + Chase

Baldwin: Toxic Nova + Annihilation + Concentration

William: Fighting Will + Weakness + Death Breath

Hippolyta: Oaken Guard + Malice + Resist/Blessing of War
