More about this game
Your goal is to protect the Cursed Element from relentless hordes of skeletons, ogres, and longbowmen. You control a mage, dodging attacks and casting elemental spells to defeat enemies. After clearing a wave, you select permanent upgrades like 28% more spell damage or faster casting. The difficulty increases as waves grow larger and introduce tougher foes like the Bone-Serpent boss. A run ends when either your mage's 100 health or the core's 200 health is fully depleted.
Tips
- The Rune of Renewal restores 8 core health after every wave, which is crucial for keeping the 200 health core alive during the 10-Wave Challenge.
- Armored ogres appear on wave 3 and take much more damage, so prioritize the Elder Rune of Force for a 28% damage boost.
- If you reach wave 7, you can unlock a hidden element like the Holy Mage, whose exorcism heals the core by 3 health per kill.
Questions
What is the difference between the mages?
Each mage has unique traits. Fire stacks lasting burns, Ice freezes on the fifth hit, Earth stuns for 1 second, and Wind knocks enemies back. Hidden mages like Holy and Darkness offer powerful endless abilities.
How do I heal the core?
The core starts with 200 health. You can heal it by selecting the Rune of Renewal upgrade between waves, which restores 8 health, or by using the Holy Mage's exorcism skill.
What are the different game modes?
You can choose Endless Survival to face escalating waves until the core falls, or the 10-Wave Challenge where you must survive exactly ten waves, including a final Bone-Serpent boss with 3400 health.
