The Spellmaster kit was released a few weeks ago, however I really enjoy using it and thought I’d share my top tips on how to use the kit to its full potential.
The kit is perfect for countering large-scale teams, since everyone within 20 blocks of you receives a negative potion effect. This can be Instant Damage (1 and 2), Poison, Hunger, Weakness and Slowness. After activating the kit, it will go on cooldown for 2 minutes. It’s quite a long cooldown, but when used correctly, you’ll be glad you played as the kit!
Top Tips For Playing Spellmaster:
- Teams are a common thing in the Hardcore Games — and this is perfect at scaring them off and making it easier to kill people. When you run in, or you’re within 20 blocks of a large team, activate the ability, switch the item out for an extra soup, and fight! In many cases they will be really low from the damage, making them easy to kill, or they will run away after losing a lot of health.
- Controlling the Feast is sometimes hard when there’s so many people around. You shouldn’t make it your priority to get to the Feast first; instead, you want to arrive when there’s around 45 seconds until the Feast starts. This way, players that got there early will have died – and other players will have used a lot of soup in the progress. When you arrive, you can activate your kit to win the feast and get some diamond and potions from the chests.
- If you enjoy teaming, I advise not doing so with this kit. Spellmaster works best when you are a solo player.
