The Skywrath Mage fires off a bolt of arcane energy to harm his adversaries. Deals an additional 1.6x the Skywrath Mage's intelligence and grants 325 vision around the projectile.


Notes
• Damage type: magical
• The projectile moves very slowly (500 ms) and you have 325 vision around it.

Explanation
Arcane Bolt is his best skill, and what defines him. It is strong during early game, and cheap mana cost means, red HP enemy or dead enemy. Because of Dragonus High Int Gain, this spell still strong during late game. Imagine a 2s 70 Mana Cost 400 Damage Nuke. That sure is hurt.

Even better, this skill gives sight, so enemy cannot juke from you. And you can usually cast more than twice during clash.

800 casting range, 70 mana cost.

With Dragon like intuition, the Skywrath Mage releases a compact ball of magical lightning at the closest visible hero within 1600 AoE. Upon impact the ball bursts slowing enemies by 40% for 4 seconds and dealing damage around the target.


Notes
• Damage type: magical
• Does not work when no heroes are in range or heroes are in fog.

Explanation
Concussive shot is a very long range disable that slows and deals some damage. Be aware that you must have sight of enemy, which makes this skill is similar to Tinker's Heat Missile. This skill has poor scaling, and should be gotten one level only.

1600 casting range, 110 mana cost.

Dragonus draws a mystical rune on the enemy that amplifies all spell damage against them and snuffs out their ability to cast spells for a few seconds.


Explanation
Another disable. Ancient Seal silences the targeted hero and amplify damage for 6s. This is what makes him still strong during lategame. 6s silence and amplification is no joke, and really hurt.

700 casting range, up to 110 mana cost.

Dragonus uses his ultimate magical ability to conjure a precise and violent mystical field that lays waste to his adversaries. Deals massive damage distributed evenly among any heroes in the AoE over 2 seconds.


Notes
• Damage type: magical
• Does not affect or count creeps. Deals damage over time in the area.

Explanation
Mystic Flare is one of the hardest skills to utilize correctly (it needs your allies' help), but it makes wonder when hits a single target, due to the huge damage it deals. It has a great cooldown of just 20 seconds at level 3, but there are also many negative elements I must underline:
• Damage is dealt over time;
• Damage is equally splitted to every hero in the area;
• It can be evaded;
• It consumes up to 800 mana;
• It has a very small AoE.

The best thing u can do is take it at 6 and 11, and not upgrading it to level 3, because of mana cost. Feel free to upgarde it if you no longer have mana problem when using it.

1200 casting range, up o 800 mana cost, 170 AoE. You can cast your strongest spell even if you're far from the team fights.
