Rune Slayer on Roblox is catching RPG fans by storm because of the build variety that it offers. You can choose from so many classes based on your preferred playstyle. Currently, quite a few players consider the Mage or Warlock class to be the best in the game.
However, there are some players that are struggling with the mage build. In this guide, we’ll show you how to make the most out of this class and get all the items you need for it. With that said, let’s get into it!
Best Mage Build Guide & How To Get Items
The Mage/Warlock class may be the most overpowered class, but you will need to progress to that point at the start. So, we’ll go over how you need to play the mage, how to level up fast, get overpowered spells and more!
Recommended Playstyle
Most players struggle with the Mage class in Rune Slayer because of the play style. The mage class differs a lot from the fist or warrior classes.
Since the Mage class has a low physical damage and defense, you do not want to play close up to the enemies. Every other class puts more pressure than a mage. So, it’s essential that you play passively.
While playing passively, you will need to spam your spells and overcome the enemies with your abilities instead of physical damage. For example, you can summon Demons to tank damage so that you can use spells from a safe distance.
The armor that Mages have barely offers any defense. So, you want to create as much space as possible.
If you do not have demons, especially when below Level 30, you can use pets like Boars and Wolves to tank damage. This will give you plenty of opportunities to use your spells.
Levelling Up
At the start, you will have little to no cash. You will need money so that you can purchase spells and build up your abilities. Leveling up by defeating mobs and bosses as a mage is very difficult, especially at the start.
So, we recommend that you complete all non-combat related missions to get as much money and EXP as possible.
Two quests that we recommend to do this are:
- Suori in Pinewood Forest
- Jane near spawn.
Obtaining Spells
Once you’ve started to make some money, it’s time to start getting spells as the Mage. There are two ways in which you can get spells at the start easily.
The first method is by heading to the Magic Tower in the spawn area. At the top of the tower, you’ll find Schoen The Mage. Interact with him and you’ll be able to purchase a random scroll from him for 20 Silver.
You can purchase a random scroll from him every hour.
The second method is a bit more difficult. To do this, you’ll need to head to the top of the mountain near the Goblin Cave. Here, you should be able to find Lightning Orbs. These lightning orbs will attack you.
Your goal is to defeat the Lightning Orbs. You can do this by parrying the lightning attack two times. To successfully parry their attacks, wait for them to start glowing and then press F to parry to parry them. Doing so will allow you to defeat them.
They will drop Electrical Energy when defeated.
Once defeated, start climbing to the top of the mountain. You should be able to find the Lightning Spirit. Exchange the Electrical Energy with the spirit for random lightning spells.
Recommended Pets
The best pet for the Mage class is by far the Boar. This is because Boars are incredibly tanky and will help absorb most of the damage and aggro.
To get Boars as a pet, you will need to find Boars in the wild and feed them Bass.
You can get Bass with two methods:
- By fishing
- Purchasing from the Fisherman for 65 Copper.
Obtaining Souls
If you didn’t know, Souls play a crucial role for the Mage class. You will need souls if you want to summon demons, and they are a very important part of the playstyle.
Summoning Imps and Fiends costs souls and they will help you a lot when it comes to fighting bosses. For example, the Imp alongside your pet can make fighting the Basilisk a piece of cake.
The best way to get souls is by farming Drogar or the Basilisk boss. This is because they give 10% souls and spawn quickly, making farming easier.
You can even use the drogar best farm method to ensure that you spawn directly in the boss area after you die.
The way you get souls is by making sure that the Soul Steal ability is the last hit on the boss before they die. So, you will need to pay special attention to the health bar.
In case you miss, you can just run around and wait for the cooldown until you can try again. Summoning the Imp will cost 25 Souls while Summoning the Fiend costs 75 Souls.
To ensure that you conserve these Souls, you should ensure that you never let your demons die. Make sure to use the Sacrifice ability at a safe time so you never have to grind for souls.
Try to sacrifice your demons out of battle as this causes no cooldown. If you sacrifice them during a fight, they will have a longer cooldown. You can also heal them by simply sacrificing them and spawning them again.
In this way, you’ll be able to make the most out of the Mage class in Rune Slayer!
That’s everything you need to know about the Best Mage Build and how you can get items for it in Rune Slayer. Remember, it’s all about the passive play style. If you do not use the mage properly, even having the most overpowered spells will not be able to help you out!
