Mana Break

Anti-Mage

Recommended Roles
Carry Escape Nuker

The monks of Turstarkuri watched the rugged valleys below their mountain monastery as wave after wave of invaders swept through the lower kingdoms. Ascetic and pragmatic, in their remote monastic eyrie they remained aloof from mundane strife, wrapped in meditation that knew no gods or elements of magic. Then came the Legion of the Dead God, crusaders with a sinister mandate to replace all local worship with their Unliving Lord`s poisonous nihilosophy. From a landscape that had known nothing but blood and battle for a thousand years, they tore the souls and bones of countless fallen legions and pitched them against Turstarkuri. The monastery stood scarcely a fortnight against the assault, and the few monks who bothered to surface from their meditations believed the invaders were but demonic visions sent to distract them from meditation. They died where they sat on their silken cushions. Only one youth survived⃢₀ₔa pilgrim who had come as an acolyte, seeking wisdom, but had yet to be admitted to the monastery. He watched in horror as the monks to whom he had served tea and nettles were first slaughtered, then raised to join the ranks of the Dead God`s priesthood. With nothing but a few of Turstarkuri`s prized dogmatic scrolls, he crept away to the comparative safety of other lands, swearing to obliterate not only the Dead God`s magic users⃢₀ₔbut to put an end to magic altogether.

General Strategy

Should Anti-Mage have the opportunity to gather his full strength, few can stop his assaults. Draining mana from enemies with every strike or teleporting short distances to escape an ambush, cornering him is a challenge for any foe.

Overview


Anti-Mage is one of the most feared carries in the game. If played correctly, he can be extremely hard to take down and can max-out on items minutes before the opposition`s carry. His effective farm rate is partly due to his Blink ability, known for its short cooldown.
