What makes it distinct

A hand-built loadout of basic, dash, standard, and signature arcana can be chained into rapid elemental combos with very little downtime.

Who should play Wizard of Legend?

Best for

Action players who want to practice a personal spell kit and win through movement and combo fluency.

Think twice if
