Battle of Tactics #9: The Great Mage Magician - Untill 29.06.2025 23:59 CET

[Ultralord]

Great greetings, People of the Sky

Today I have an exciting challenge for a Team of 3 Players.
All praise The Great Mage Magician.

 

The Challenge:

You play a Community map, a modified version of Ravens End (changes can be found in the FAQ section)

Positions 1 & 3 are Generals -> That means you can only play Units
Position 2 is the Great Mage Magician -> You can only use Spells

The Orb-Level of the Great Mage Magician is tied to the Orb-Level of his Generals.
So if both are Tier 2, he will gain access to Tier 2 spells.

The Great Mage Magician is a powerful wizard capable of casting spells of all colours.

For additional support, the Great Mage Magician can use a "Life Stream" Building in the center of the map.

 

Currently Fire Wormlings can cause problems in multiplayer matches, for that reason I sadly have to ban the card from this event.

Ranking:

Main Ranking:
- Finish the map as fast as possible.

Style Ranking (Prizes for all teammates):
- Maximum Support: the Great Mage Magician who played the most spells.
- It's a simple Strategy: The General with the least amount of units (Both combined)

In conclusion:

Map:                   Community map: "Battle of Tactics 9" (copy of Ravens end)
Difficulty:            Advanced
Goal:                   Finish the map as fast as possible

This was super enjoyable!  PVE Skylords is still one of my favorite games :3

By the way, are the rewards being sent out separately?  I received one part of my rewards, but the one for being under PVE 10 wasn't also delivered.  No rush, I know the results were released literally yesterday lol.
