🧪 Angela Skill Breakdown
🔥 Passive – Flame Incantation
Angela’s skills apply Burn. Using a skill on a burning enemy deals extra magic damage for each stack (up to 10), scaling with magical attack.
Tip: Maximize damage by layering your skills to stack and trigger the passive.
1️⃣ Skill 1 – Scorching Barrage
- Cooldown: 6s
- Mana: 50
- Damage: 350–550 + 30% Magical Attack
Launches 5 fireballs at an area. Fireballs that hit the same enemy after the first deal only 30% damage.
Tip: Ideal for wave clear and zoning. Try to hit multiple enemies with one cast.
2️⃣ Skill 2 – Chaos Cinders
- Cooldown: 10–8s
- Mana: 60
- Damage: 130–205 + 17% Magical Attack
Fires a projectile that becomes a flame vortex upon contact or at max range, dealing AoE damage over time, slowing by 50%, and stunning enemies directly hit for 1s.
Tip: Use it to start fights, zone enemies, or stop dives. It’s your main crowd control.
🌟 Ultimate – Blazing Brilliance
- Cooldown: 20s
- Mana: 100
- Damage: 150–230 (+21% Magical Attack) per hit, up to 12 hits
Channels a beam for 3s, granting a shield (850/1300/1750 + scaling) and CC immunity.
Tip: Combo it after landing Skill 2. The shield lets you dive or survive dives.
🛠️ Optimal Item Build
| Slot | Item | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Boots of the Arcane | Movement speed, magical pierce, and mana regen – perfect early sustain. |
| 2 | Staff of Reverberation | Burst damage enhancer; synergizes well with Angela’s poke. |
| 3 | Insatiable Tome | Adds magical lifesteal and HP – boosts sustainability. |
| 4 | Savant’s Wrath | Raw magical power – key for mid-late game scaling. |
| 5 | Void Staff | Magical pierce – essential vs tanks and magic-resistant enemies. |
| 6 | Tome of Wisdom | Cooldown reduction and high AP to maximize skill uptime. |
Optional Adjustments:
- Swap Void Staff with Breakthrough Robe if you need more health.
- Add Holy Grail for sustain against poke-heavy comps.

| Arcana | Effect |
|---|---|
| Nightmare (Red) | +Magical Attack, +Magical Pierce |
| Hunt (Green) | +Attack Speed, +Movement Speed |
| Mind’s Eye (Blue) | +Attack Speed, +Magical Pierce |
Goal: Maximize early poke, mobility, and damage output.
