Sorceress Guide – Strengths, Weaknesses, and Talents
Where do the strengths of the Sorceress lie? The strengths of the Sorceress lie mainly in ranged combat and her high survival chances. From a safe distance, you can cover the entire map with your spells, while you can quickly get to safety in tricky situations.
The mix of high damage, flexible movement options, and safe combat distance makes the Sorceress a good choice for beginners.
What are the weaknesses of the Sorceress? Even though the Sorceress can deal good damage, her buffs for a large group are very limited. Additionally, you are reliant on your mana. When this runs out, the lights go out quickly. Last but not least, close combat is usually a death sentence for you, as although the Sorceress is lethal, she has no melee attacks. So always keep your distance.
What talents does the Sorceress possess? The Sorceress can manipulate the power of fire, lightning, or ice to her advantage. This allows you to burn, slow, or shock opponents, even making them unable to attack for 2 seconds.
Additionally, as a Sorceress, you have the privilege of gaining extra slots for your spells to store even more abilities.
On top of that, you can summon a snowstorm with your ultimates, summon meteors, or even charge yourself electrically so your lightning abilities deal more damage. However, should opponents come too close, you can also take advantage of defensive spells:
- Teleportation – Teleports you in any direction
- Flame Shield – Wraps you in flames for 2 seconds and makes you immune
- Ice Armor – Wraps you in ice and creates a shield that corresponds to 30% of your base HP, additionally, 10% of the cold damage you deal is transferred to this shield
- Ice Nova – Creates a flood of ice that can freeze your opponents for 2 seconds
Conclusion on the Sorceress – Who is this class suitable for? The Sorceress is especially suitable for players who want to deal damage from a distance and have the pleasure of covering the entire battlefield with elements. Especially beginners will manage well with this class, as you have many options to protect yourself or flee in case of doubt.
