- Recommended Stats to Get from Gears -

Primary Stats
- Time Bending Gears: +% Cooldown Reduction (CDR)
- This is a very useful stat especially if you want to challenge the Heroic and
Legendary stages. It lessens the cooldown timer of your skills, giving you more
chance to chain powerful spells.

Secondary Stats
- Ideal random Stats that will go with your Primary Stats.

- Recommended: +% Critical Chance

- Recommended: +% Critical Damage
- Also Good: +% Attack Speed
- Also Good: + Damage

- Note: To help you get your desired stats, refer to the crafting tips section
here: FAQ, Tips, Tricks and Strategy Guides List
_______________________________________________________

Why No Defensive Stat?

- Because even if you have a nice defensive stat gears, some monsters are still
able to 1 hit kill your hero (Heroic and Legendary Modes). This is also the reason
why players focuses more on increasing their damage output to quickly eliminate
monsters while keeping their control skills active all the time.

- Heroic and Legendary monsters have higher HP too, so you really need to
increase damage output to maintain your kill rates.

Tomes or Shields For Mages?

- Tome, because in this game, "blocks" doesn't totally block all damages, it
would still depend on your shield's damage resist capacity.
- When playing Heroic and Legendary stages, monsters that can 1 shot kill you
can still pierce through shield blocks, so it's better to focus on Damage output
instead and use mob control skills.

- Recommended Abilities and Builds -

The best thing about this game is that it doesn't follow any skill trees, you are
free to choose any skill builds you want while playing. Just unlock and upgrade the
skills, but to help you choose which skills that works together, refer to the build
below.

Notes:
- It's ok to at least upgrade the following skills up to Lvl 6, then choose and
upgrade the skills you want most, it's ok to upgrade them all. Non listed abilities
are not recommended, but still optional.
- You can change skills while in battle, pick what you think is best for the
situation. Example: You are using Fireball and Arc Lightning to destroy mobs, but
if you are up against a 1 on 1 boss, you can switch your Fireball with Arcane Bolt
or Frostbolt for better damage output.

- Recommended Attack Abilities -

Frostbolt
- A nice early game single auto attack skill, combo with Frost Nova to keep the
double damage in effect. Recommended while building up your CDR to around 50%, then
start upgrading Arcane Bolt.
 - 1 vs 1: Awesome DPS with bonus control (freeze) effect. At Lvl 10, this skill
can also slow down enemies in an area. Recommended for 1 on 1 Boss fights if you
need more control effects.

- Vs. Mobs: Great kill rate because you can quickly reduce their numbers, or
prioritize enemies you want to eliminate first. Others are better though once you
have nice control skills.
_______________________________________________________

Fireball
- A nice auto attack skill vs mobs, upgrade then use with Frostbolt early game.
- "Affects Enemies" means it does additional splash damage or damage over time
to monsters around the target.

- 1 vs 1: Bad, Arcane Bolt and Frostbolt are still better.

- Vs. Mobs: Awesome vs compressed mobs, and even better if you are lucky enough
to pull lots of Meteors at Lvl 10! Combo with Attack Speed skills.
- Use Eileen's companion skill (Vortex) to compress mobs, then spam Frost Nova
to keep them still.
_______________________________________________________

Arcane Bolt
- Late game auto attack skill. Recommended after reaching Lvl 10, and after
getting somewhere near 60% CDR to spam Frost Nova. Frost Nova's mob control will
greatly help you use this skill with less worry.

- 1 vs 1: Awesome DPS because it can dish 6 bolts per cast, even better than
Frostbolt when played right. Replaces your Frostbolt late game, but make sure it's
at Lvl 10 first.

- Vs. Mobs: Great but kill rate is a little lower because it's attacks will
scatter, and it's only limited to 6 targets per strike. Fireball and Arc Lightning
are still better against heavy mobs, when played right.
_______________________________________________________

Arc Lightning
- A must have late game skill, but upgrade this first to Lvl 10 though to get
the Attack Speed effect and to increase it's jump chance.

- 1 vs 1: Bad even with knock backs.

- Vs. Mobs: Awesome vs compressed or scattered mobs if your Critical Chance and
Critical Damages are high enough. If you do, replace Fireball with this wide ranged
mob destroyer.
- Combo with attack speed like Time Warp and control skills too.

- Note that it doesn't bounce back to previous targets (tested without

companions), and it has 20% damage reduction per bounce, but still, this is an
awesome skill vs heavily packed mobs (about 10+ monsters) as long that it keeps
chaining and do criticals per attack.

- If you reached Lvl 10 but you don't have yet enough Crit chance/damage, pair
it for now with any of the auto attacks you prefer above. Use against monsters to
gain the attack speed bonus then switch to your other auto attack.

- Note: The 20% damage reduction can't reduce your damage to 0, it can only
weaken.

- Recommended Utility Abilities -

Frost Nova
- Damage is normal, but what we want here is it's massive mob control effect
that lasts for 6 seconds! Even better if you have somewhere near 60% CDR to let you
spam this whenever needed.
- Use and upgrade this up to Lvl 10 as soon as possible, combo with Frostbolt
early game to boost your attack damages.

- Use Eileen's companion skill to (Vortex) compress mobs, then use this skill.
- Note: Frost Nova can be spammed at 50% CDR, but I still recommend to go higher
because boss monsters will have lesser freeze time than normal monsters.
_______________________________________________________

Time Warp
- To greatly increase attack speed and to help you dodge 1 hit kill projectile
or charging melee attacks.
- This is really a handy skill that gives you a better chance to think of what
skill combinations are best on your current situation, allows you to properly cast
spells, and more.
- Reach somewhere near 70% CDR to cast this spell more often.
- Highly recommended for conquering Heroic and Legendary Modes.
_______________________________________________________

Immolate
- Awesome damages vs heavy mobs, Hits 3 times by default plus burn damages, as
long that the targets are within range. I will also consider this as a late game
skill, after reaching somewhere near 60% CDR to easily cast Frost Nova, especially
Time Warp.

- Great for amplifying damages. "Affected targets take up to 30% more damage"
means while the targets are within this skill's area of effect, all attacks will
deal additional 30% damage to them!
- This is also a nice combo to give extra damages to your Arc Lightning skill,
and since it's AoE is so wide at Lvl 10.

- Challenging to use under Heroic and Legendary Modes due to lesser control
skills.
_______________________________________________________

Arcane Deflection
- Gives a bonus "time slow effect" to help you dodge or deflect back projectile
attacks or charging melees. Use this ability if you are having trouble on stages
with heavy monsters that can 1 hit kill you.
- Combo with Time Warp and Lvl 10 Frostbolt for control if you want to use this,
also recommended for conquering Heroic and Legendary Modes.

- Recommended Passive Abilities -

Celerity
- To greatly increase Attack Speed. Equip and upgrade this first before Glass
Cannon early game.
_______________________________________________________

Glass Cannon
- To increase Damage output.
 - The defense decrease can be compensated by high kill rates and mob control
skills like Time Warp, Frost Nova and Arcane Deflection.
