Classes in Dark Deity are split up into six different trees, with the ranger, warrior, cleric and mage available during the first mission, and then the rogue and adept coming shortly thereafter. Today we’re going to go through a pretty comprehensive guide on everything to do with the Mage class. What you can expect from using Mage characters, where you can take them, their stats and skills, and all the information that you need to plan your Mage characters accordingly.
Naturally if you want to avoid spoiling the class unlocks, or the characters that are available later in the game, you should turn back now, because there’s going to be spoilers aplenty from hereon out.
Mages work quite like you would expect, they perform spells and can do so at either melee or at a range. The class provides the player a number of options for builds. Want to build a slippery and evasive mage that specialises in avoiding attacks at all ranges, then dishing the hurt back? You can. Want to build a life-stealing pyromancer that heals as it hurts? You can. Want to build a mage tank, that can neither move or be moved? Whelp, you can do that too.
See, there is a fair bit of diversity there, and it means that mages don’t all have to be frail glass cannons. You take take the tank route early, to get DEF stat rolls and talents, then finish up with a fire damage dealing focus, to build your Mage exactly how you want. Durable, and damaging? Perfect!

Closing Thoughts
That’s going to wrap things up for our overview of the mage class. If you’ve had particular success with speccing a character down a certain class line, with grabbing specific level 10 and level 30 class skills, we’d love to hear about your success (or failure!) on the mgn.gg blog, our YouTube channel of course, the new twitter @MGN_TV, and our new discord. Links for all of these are in the description of the video overview.
