Mage Arena Dark Blast Spell Guide (Steam Game)

**Dark Blast**, a key Mage Arena ability, unleashes a concentrated energy beam that pierces multiple enemies, dealing immediate damage and applying a lingering damage-over-time (DoT) effect. Ideal for handling groups or tough opponents, this spell excels in prolonged engagements where sustained damage matters most.

Mechanics of Dark Blast

Upon activation, the spell fires a linear energy beam that passes through all enemies in its path. This means:

  • Collision Ignored: The beam doesn’t stop at the first target.
  • Dual Damage: Enemies struck take **instant damage** plus **ongoing DoT**.

Optimal Strategies

Maximize Dark Blast’s effectiveness by:

  • **Targeting chokepoints** where enemies cluster.
  • Pairing it with **crowd control** (e.g., Freeze) or **mobility spells** (e.g., Blink) to control engagements.
  • Using it early in fights to apply pressure and force opponents into defensive play.

Pro Tips

  • Prioritize groups over single targets for maximum efficiency.
  • Combo the DoT with high-burst abilities to finish weakened foes.
  • Position strategically to line up multiple enemies in the beam’s path.
