The Spellweaver

Fire, ice and lightning from the back line. Fragile up close, so keep your distance and watch the crowd burn.

The Spellweaver freezes a pack where it stands.

How the Spellweaver plays

Spellweavers read the books nobody else dares to finish, and some of those books read them back. A Spellweaver breaks like glass, but when the dead fill the room, the room fills with fire, frost and lightning.

  • The strongest magic: fire, frost and lightning
  • A spell book: choose every spell on your bar
  • Fire Nova blasts everything around

Watch out: The least health and armor of anyone.

In The Long Night their left clicks build Arcane Power as their blows land, and their right clicks spend it.

Abilities

The Spellweaver's moves in The Long Night: you pick a left click, a right click, an ability and an Ultimate as a run goes on, and make each stronger. Their left clicks are the same in the campaign.

Left clicks

Spellforged Arsenal

Bolt, spear, sword, twin swords, then both thrown

Wildfire

Bolt, burst, Fireball, then a Flamethrower

Frostbite

Shards, a lance, a snowball, then spikes of ice

Right clicks

Astral Greatsword

Summon a giant sword of light, then swing it

Burning Boulder

A burning boulder falls where you aim

Razor Glide

Spin on a path of ice, your arms great ice saws

Abilities

Arcane Shield

For up to 8 seconds the hits you take come out of a shield of force worth half your health instead. It breaks when that much is soaked. Press it again to drop it.

Ice Block

Freeze yourself in ice for up to 3 seconds: nothing can hurt you, and you can't act. Foes that strike it are chilled, and it shatters outward when it breaks, chilling everything near you twice. Press it again to break out.

Phoenix Flight

Clap your hands over your head and a great phoenix of fire lifts you by its talons for 3 seconds, 60% faster than you walk and steered by your movement, over the foes. It drops a firebomb on the thickest foes below every 0.4 seconds, its wings scorch the foes right under it, and as it ends it dives and crashes where you land. You can't attack or cast while you fly, and the foes' swings pass under you.

Frost Nova

Freeze every enemy around you solid.

Ride the Lightning

Streak 8 paces where you aim as lightning. Nothing can hurt you on the way, and every foe you pass is zapped and dazed.

Ultimates

Fire Nova

A great ring of fire bursts out around you and throws foes far back.

Blizzard

A blizzard sweeps the ground where you aim for 4 seconds, chilling and freezing everything in it.

Thunderstorm

A storm follows you for 4 seconds, striking the nearest foe with lightning twice a second. Each strike jumps to one more foe.
