Tactics

• Although slightly costly for early game, Magician's hidden removing properties and chaining can be a very good tool for early game.
• This tower is not recommended for late game as her only late game option is the 'Rabbit Stampede', otherwise its a very good tower for dealing with Large Voids and Beefy Voids effectively.
• The AoE her attacks leave behind past level 5 are very good for dealing with hordes of enemies, even with higher hp enemies.
