Mage Arena stands out among many PvP games because you get to speak the spells and see your character cast them. While this might be the main appeal, there are many other interesting features you might not notice unless you’re aware of them.
During a match, the goal is to capture the enemy’s flag and defeat all their players. Once their flag is taken, they cannot respawn, and you win. A few tips can help you reach this victory quicker.
Keep Your Base Closed
One of the most important tips is to always keep your base door shut. When you spawn in, you’ll start in a castle with a large grassy room. You need to open the main door to go outside. If you leave it open, enemies can walk right in and steal your flag. After entering or leaving your base, you can close the door again. If enemies get in with the door closed, they’ll have to spend time opening it, giving you a chance to react if you aren’t around.
Craft Before You Leave
At the start of each game, inside your base, you’ll find a chest with six random materials, a tree trunk for crafting items, and a giant figure to make soups. Before heading out, craft the best items possible using these resources. Both you and your opponents spawn with a spellbook and a torch, so crafted items can give you an edge early on. You can use the recipe book beside the tree trunk to see what you can make. Once you get used to the recipes, you’ll memorize what each item does, making crafting more efficient.
Capture Other Biomes
The game map is divided into different biomes—like crystal, snow, swamp, and mushroom. You can capture flags in these biomes, which grants you experience points (EXP) for your spells. The map shows your current spell level; the higher the level, the more damage your spells do. Larger maps offer more tiles, but the actual tiles you get are random. To capture a biome’s flag, you need to find the specific way into its location. Capturing these flags increases your spell levels; for example, maxed-out spells like fireball become extremely powerful, but can also be deadly if you’re not careful.
Learn Each Biome
Understanding how each biome works can give you advantages. For example, in the lava biome, entering the central building and climbing the spiral stairs grants access to extra spells. The crystal biome has its flag hidden deep inside a cave accessible through various holes. There’s also a graveyard biome with the Mausoleum, where you can find the Excalibur sword—an incredibly powerful weapon that defeats all enemies instantly and remains in your inventory after death unless dropped by an opponent.
Enter Enemy Bases Easily
To infiltrate enemy bases without manually interacting with doors, you can use specific tactics. Having Bounce Mushrooms in your inventory allows you to jump onto them and be shot into the enemy base wall, entering inside. Alternatively, crafting a Levitator spell enables you to fly over walls directly into the enemy’s base. Though more challenging, this method provides free entry without dealing with mushrooms. Remember, if you get defeated, you’ll lose your Levitator and need to start over.
Watch for NPC Enemies
Besides battling other players, you’ll encounter various non-player enemies across biomes. For instance, in the lava biome, two sorcerers chase you in the central building, casting spells. In the swamp, giant frogs hide underwater and can suck you in with their tongues if you’re too close. The Mausoleum also features skeletons and wraiths. These foes can defeat you easily, so stay alert. Sometimes, NPC sorcerers might attack you randomly as well.
Return to Your Base Frequently
Your base is crucial because it’s the safest place. You can teleport back quickly by holding the “B” key, making it ideal for regrouping with teammates. When you arrive, you might find items dropped outside by goblins, useful for crafting or preparing for the next fight. Regularly returning ensures you don’t lose your flag and helps coordinate strategies with your team.
