The Battle Mage is a Mage who prefers the full-contact satisfaction of combat and attacks with close-range weapons and spells. However, being of diminutive stature, her magical powers manifest as defensive Chasers, magical spheres infused with various elemental properties that serve as a powerful buffer between her and the relentless barrage of enemy attacks. The Battle Mage is fast, possesses superhuman fighting skills and is the only Mage able to master weaponry. At level 48, the Battle Mage awakens as the Bellatrix.

Her second-class feature is a set of gloves and a different posture.

The Mage must first reach level 18.

1. Clear Graquarak with 70 style points or higher.

Basic Strategies/Builds

• Although specialized in melee combat, Chasers provide the magic attack to back physical attack up, hence the name "Battle Mage"
• Normal attack motions are different then regular mage motions. It might confuse the player if they play other types of mages.
  • 1st attack: Dragon Fang motion (Increase reach)
  • 2nd attack: Palm Blast motion (goes forward, shorter reach than the 1st part but the movement makes up for it, if you hold the movement key to the opposite direction you are facing you will not move forward, very good at adjusting your range with your enemy's range)
  • 3rd attack: Smash motion (large attack range, easy to hit multiple enemies which can be easily gathered with the first 2 hits)
  • Even though the motions are changed to skill like motions, it is NOT the skill itself.
• Jump power is lowered so you will not fly as high. However, jump speed is increased.
• When you miss with a dash attack, you will no longer fall down.
• Normal attack with chasers will make very easy combos
• Fighting with a chaser is the fundamental of Battle Mages. If you don't fight with them, don't be a Battle Mage.(It is possible to be pure physical Battle Mage which uses the buffs from chasers to their advantage, usually light for buffing attack speed or fire for buffing strength)
• Larger chasers do higher damage and have a larger splash radius. Combos will make chasers grow.
• Battle Mages have a huge variety of cancel skills. It is possible to fight without shooting chasers to conserve MP.
• Battle Mages have more defense compared to other mage jobs because of their Leather Armor Mastery.
• The Battle Mage is the only mage job that can obtain over level 5 Mana Shield without equipment. This is good for defense in PVP, it makes leather armor feel like heavy armor.
• Mana Shield consumes MP. You must conserve your skills/chasers if you don't want to run out.
• Due to the basis of the Battle Mage, "hitting the enemies in the air", "punching the enemies away from you", "down the enemy" is the main style. This is why it is terrible to fight against things that cannot be downed, eg. Striker, Berserker, Launcher.
• Battle Mage will have to aware of the playstyle between partying and soloing. Gathering monsters may not be the right case in every party situations. You may have to make do with a few and destroy them for firepower.
