📖 Who is Sun Mage in The Spell Brigade?
The Sun Mage is the AOE clearing specialist of The Spell Brigade. Solar Pulse detonates a radial burst of solar energy centered on the caster, hitting every enemy in range simultaneously. The Sun Mage's -25% Hitbox Size passive is one of the strongest defensive traits in the game — enemies struggle to reliably hit her in dense packs. Her connection to Ice Patches is surprising: staying on one for 90 seconds (while enemies freeze around her) is one of the more creative achievement challenges.
