Mage Tank

The build I use most often. Fast movement speed, Long Ranger for priority targets and Spells / Bow for wave management and sustain. Don't need extra jokers to work. You can rush objectives.

Spells

I believe it to be the best if you are trying to go for most kills/damage. The core of this build is maximizing uptime on Rain, Wisp, and Thunderstrike, as imo those are easily the most powerful spells in the game, as they delete most mobs in seconds and the only thought you have to put into using them is maximizing efficient AOE for Rain, using wisp on cooldown, and Thunderstriking in the center of enemies with the exception of exploders. The Primary slot is facilitated by the Long Ranger with Focus Shot to lower CDs per Kill, Speedster for damage, and ricochet as any trash mobs ricochet hits are free cooldown reduction. The Secondary can ultimately be Bow with both uniques, which is arguably the best weapon in the entire game, the Boomerang, or DRs. Player Jokers are for movement/CDR

Spells

A bit swishy, but one-shots most enemies on very hard and below and constantly casts drain and strikes with rain to clean large groups or high-health enemies.

Spells

Build focused on synergizing with the Strikes cantrip. The Long Ranger jokers maximize kills per shot fired, reducing spell CDs by as much as possible. The Bow clear crowds, self heals, spawns cactus Minos for further Strikes synergy, and can convert Wisp to its combo version if Strikes misses during casting. The other 2 spells combo nicely with Strikes for massive area control, and the hero jokers help reduce cooldowns further

What sounds good to me as a new player

Spells

Enjoy a suite of Strikes infused Rain and Wisp that reduce their own cooldown with Battlemage and Focus Shot, while spawning Minos.
