• Haste: +1 Start/Recovery AP. You can pre-cast it to get 7AP starting AP. IF you are an Elf, you can then combine with Flesh Sacrifice to have 8 AP in the beginning of the battle.
  
  
• Fortify: boost physical armour, a good skill to keep you alive in early game state.
  
  
• Poison Dart (situational): a good damaging skill early on you can use before you can get access to warfare abilities and weapon buffs for your staff. (only for early game 1~9, equip it situationally)
  
  
• Staff of Magus: a ranged weapon attack of the Staff. Because it is considered a weapon attack, it can do critical attacks wihout Savage Sortilege. Meaning you can cast it under Muted status from Enrage and still score critical attacks. It however won't proc any sparks from Sparking Wings or Master of Sparks.
  
  
• Battle Stomp: a good frontal AoE, each targets hit proc a Spark from Sparking Wings or Master of Sparks.
  
  
• Cripple Blow: good single target damage which can also strike multiple targets if they stand close together. You can use teleportation to put enemies next to each other then follow up with a Cripple Blow, each targets hit proc a Spark from Sparking Wings or Master of Sparks.
  
  
• Sparking Wings: every time you hit enemy with your weapon or your weapon skills from abilities, it will bounce a spark to nearby enemies dealing fire damage. Each targets got hit by your weapon will proc a Spark, making it synergyreally well with Warfare abilities that can hit multiple targets or hitting multiple times at once. (Battle Stomp, Cripple, Whirlwind, Blitz, Onslaught)
  
  
• Venom Coating: apply Poison damage to your weapon attacks or weapon skills.
  
  
• Cloak: Grants Invisible status, temporarily safe-guard you from enemies.
  
  
• Chloroform: deal damage to enemy magic armour and can put enemy to Sleep for one turn. A useful tool to disable enemy in combat.
  
  
• Adrenaline: Gain 2 AP for this turn but lose 2 AP on the next turn ( a tradeoff), use it when you need to confirm a kill to trigger Executioner talent or when you really want to setup some defensive buffs or just simply want to finish off some high threat targets.
  
  
• Bleed Fire: apply a debuff that reduce enemy Fire resistance by -20% if enemies Magic Armour are down.
  
  
• Teleportation: to put enemies in places where they need to be so you can setup your aoe attacks.
  
  
• Uncanny Evasion: Grants you 90% dodge and cause most attacks to miss except magic spells. This spell is pretty much safe-guard you from all physical threats.
  
  
• Enrage: Grants you 100% critchance but Muted player make them unable to cast magic spells. You can cast weapon skills such as Warfare abilities and Staff of Magus in the meantime and every attacks is critical. (watch the buffs order below to see how to use Enrage effectively)
  
  
• Whirlwind: big aoe attack, good damage, every target hits proc a Sparks from Sparking Wings or Master of Sparks so the more targets you hit the better.
  
  
• Death Wish (situational): boost damage based on missing max HP (e.g: 1HP = 99% dmg boost)
  
  
• Cloak n Dagger: a mobility skill that allow you to jump and does not break Invisiblity or Sneak mode.
  
  
• Sub-spells (situational): Fireball, Implalement, Poison Dart, Dazing Bolts, ... similar uses like how Poison Dart works above. There aren't much spells for Battlemage to go with at early game, so it's useful to have ranged magic spells equipped when you have the high ground advantage then you can peel enemy magic armour before going in whacking your Staff.
  (only for early game 1~9, equip them situationally)

• Frost Armour (scrolls): Boost Magic Armour, remove many debuffs
  
  
• Fortify (scrolls): Boost Physical Armour, remove many debuffs.
  
  
• Master of Sparks: an upgraded verison of Sparking Wings which uses 1 SP. It spark bounces up to 2 times instead of once, it also has infinite procs and will continue to spark as long as it buff duration is still up while sparks of Sparking Wings are limited. (Replace Sparking Wings with Master of Sparks.)
  
  
• Blitz: a gap closer, jump from one target to another up to 2 targets dealing damage. Each target hit will proc a Spark from Master of Sparks.
  
  
• Phoenix Dive: a mobility skill that allow you to jump and create fire surfaces upon landing, verry fitting with the build theme. Use either this or Cloak & Dagger, use both at late game if you have spare slots.
  
  
• Bone Cage (situational): Boost massive amount of Physical Armour based on how many dead bodies near you. Only needed to equip in your loadout when you really need it defense capability against heavy physical hitters.
  
  
• Skin Graft: reset cooldowns on all spells/skills.
  
  
• Onslaught: a good single target skill that hit 5 times with the cost of 4AP, each hits proc a sparks from Master of Sparks.

• Peace of Mind: great Wits boost and small Damage boost. (Replace Enrage with Peace of Mind.)
  
  
• Firebrand: apply Fire damage to your weapon attacks or weapon skills.
  
  
• Apotheosis: SP Cost -3 for all source powers. You can use Source powers with no Source cost for 2 turns. You will also get a small boost on all stats like Intelligence and Wits.
  
  
• Inner Demon: Boost Intelligence and Magic Armour. Also grants 2 skill, one of them is Terrify which is strong ability to destroy an enemy magic armour.
  
  
• Terrify: Skill granted by Inner Demon. Can be used as an anti-armour attack, it deals raw amount of magic damage for a single target so it won't be held back by elemental resistances. Because of this, Terrify is ideal for destroying enemy magic armour but it does not damage HP. It also apply Terrified on target, which makes them running around mindlessly in 2 turns.
  
  
• Flay Skin: Apply a debuff that reduces all of target resistances by 50% if enemy magic armour are down.

• Mord Akaim is strong against Fire/Earth/Air damage, so you need to respec points into Hydro to deal with him. Find yourself a Water staff, grab some Hydro spells then go freeze the big bug and everything around it to death. Ofcourse if you find the fight too troublesome, you could always kill Mordus right off the bat.

• Same strat as Mord Akaim, but put the points into Aero and use Air staff instead, and use Aero spells to stun her back to hell.

• In this form, he is immune to all elemental damage which can be easily solved by destroying his soul jar which kill him instantly in combat. You can then proceed to light up rest of the parasites and burn them to ashes.

If player can set-up position and start right under enemies.

• Pre-combat: Death Wish(✖) → Haste → Bedroll(✖) (7AP)
  
• Round 1: Sparking Wings (-1AP) → Venom Coating (-1AP) → Uncanny Evasion (-1AP) → Adrenaline (+2AP) → Enrage (-2AP) → Make your attacks with 4AP + 2AP (Executioner)
  
• Round 2: Delay → Make your attacks with 4AP + 2AP (Executioner)

Aggressive playstyle, Uncanny Evasion will keep you safe for 2 rounds right after Enrage duration runs out along with Muted status, allow you to come up with different defensive acts after the raging rampage is over.

(✖) Optional Order: prep Death Wish if you want to see things burn to ashes fast. If you use Death Wish then no Bedroll.

Safer method, when you up against alot of enemies (more than 4) and going to play the long game or simply out of position.

• Pre-Combat: Death Wish(✖) → Haste → Bedroll(✖) (7AP)
  
• Round 1: Sparking Wings (-1AP) → Close in (if needed) → Make your attacks with magic spells → Haste again if available (-1AP) → Cloak (-1AP)

• Round 3: Delay → Make your attacks with 4AP + 2AP (Executioner)

Passive playstyle to help get you into position, get prepared in combat, dish out some decent damage with Death Wish(✖) before going into Cloak, follow up with Uncanny Evasion for total 3 round with Enrage before it goes off along with Muted status, allow player to come up with different defensive acts after the initial turns.

(✖) Optional Order: prep Death Wish if you want to see things burn to ashes fast. If you use Death Wish then no Bedroll.

If player can set-up position and start right under enemies and HAVE the damages to pick off enemies to put them at menpower disadvantage.

• Round 1: Inner Demon (-1AP) → Master of Sparks (-1AP) → Venom Coating (-1AP) → Firebrand (-1AP) → Uncanny Evasion (-1AP) → Adrenaline (+2AP) → Make your attacks with 4AP + 2AP (Executioner)
  
• Round 2: Delay → Make your attacks with 4AP + 2AP (Executioner)

If player is out of position and don't have enough AP to prep buffs then attack at the same turn.

• Pre-combat: Peace of Mind → Haste → Apotheosis → Bedroll (7AP)
  
• Round 1: Inner Demon (-1AP) → Master of Sparks (-1AP) → Make your attacks with 4AP + 2AP (Executioner) → Cloak (-1AP)
