Mages are a unique class in Epic Seven, having a great balance between damage and utility.
Most mages have forms of CC in their kit, applying various debuffs to supplement their damage.
They’re perfect with offensive items that also grant effectiveness.
With access to great artifacts like Kal’adra & Crimson Moon of Nightmares, there’s plenty of ways to include a mage in your favorite team setup.
I’ll be going through the 10 best mages in Epic Seven.
These heroes are some of the best for PvP & PvE, consult your hero list to see if you have any of them!
10. Mistychain
Attribute: Ice
Recommended Set: Crit Chance/Crit Damage
How to get: 3* Covenant Summon
Skills
| Vampirism | Curse of Banshee | Life Drain |
| Claws the enemy absorbing some of the damage to heal all allies. | Casts a spell at the enemy with a 80% chance to make them unhealable and decrease Attack for 2 turns. | Burn Effect: Increases damage dealt. Attacks by absorbing the enemy’s life force. Some of the damage dealt is absorbed to heal all allies. When the enemy is defeated, grants revive to the ally with the lowest Health for 2 turns. |
Summary
The best budget DPS/debuffer you can get for Wyvern.
Mistychain is an easily obtainable 3* hero to include alongside a defense breaker, tank & primary DPS.
Wyvern deals significantly reduced damage when it has 3 or more debuffs, and a ton of damage is required to bypass its shield.
Mistychain has little use outside of Wyvern though, so you can replace her when you get a better Ice hero, like Sigret.
9. Researcher Carrot
Attribute: Fire
Recommended Set: Attack/Effectiveness
How to get: Specialty Change
Skills
| Swing | Flame Barrier (Passive) | Blaze Explosion |
| Attacks with a staff, with a 35% chance to decrease Speed for 2 turns, before detonating burn effects inflicted on the enemy at the end of the turn. | After being attacked, grants the caster a barrier for 1 turn and burns the attacker for 1 turn. Barrier effect can only be activated once per turn, and barrier strength increases proportional to the caster’s Attack. | Burn Effect: Grants an extra turn. Attack with powerful fire, dispelling one buff before a 60% chance each to inflict two burn effects for 2 turns. |
Summary
Researcher Carrot is currently a powerful force in PvP, with her specialty change granting a ton of additional bonuses like regeneration & effectiveness.
Upon being attacked, she’ll grant herself a barrier and apply the burn debuff.
Innate tankiness allows her to invest fully into attack, increasing the damage of her burns.
8. Luluca
Attribute: Ice
Recommended Set: Speed/Effectiveness
How to get: 5* Covenant Summon
Skills
| Wild Wave | Reko’s Blessing | Wave of Vengeance |
| Attacks with intense elemental force, with a 50% chance to decrease Defense for 2 turns. Damage dealt increases proportional to the amount of the enemy’s lost Health. | Burn Effect: Skill cooldown is decreased by 2 turns. With the blessing of the stars, grants increased Defense and barrier to all allies for 2 turns. Barrier strength increases proportional to the caster’s Attack. | Attacks all enemies with the power of ruin, with a 60% chance to decrease Defense for 2 turns, before increasing the caster’s Attack. This effect can stack up to 3 times. |
Summary
One of the most diverse mage heroes, Luluca is an exceptional defense breaker for certain abyss floors & labyrinth bosses.
Her skill 2 is also great as an increase defense buff provides tons of sustainability to allied heroes.
Overall she’s a good character for PvP & PvE, but only in specific situations.
7. Politis
Attribute: Fire
Recommended Set: Speed/Immunity
How to get: 5* Covenant Summon
Skills
| Call of the Stars | Astral Guide (Passive) | Starfall |
| Burn Effect: Grants an extra turn. Summons dolls to attack the enemy, with a 25% chance to stun for 1 turn. | When the enemy is not an Elite or Boss monster, reduces the effect of Combat Readiness granted to the enemy by 50%. This effect does not stack with other passive effects of the same name. Activates Tranquility when an enemy uses a non-attack skill. Tranquility can be activated once every 2 turns. Tranquility: Attacks all enemies, decreasing buff durations by 1 turn, before increasing Combat Readiness of the caster by 30%. | Attacks all enemies with alien technology, with a 75% chance each to decrease Hit Chance and make them unable to be buffed for 2 turns. |
Summary
Politis is simply a counter to certain PvP builds.
Many teams employ specific heroes to buff combat readiness to allow the main DPS units to put more stats into attack/crit, rather than speed.
Challenger Dominiel is a great example of this, but Politis can basically nullify her abilities.
Even then, Politis will significantly reduce any buffs granted by non-attack skills.
Not every team will employ these tactics but if they do, Politis is an insta-win!
6. Tenebria
Attribute: Fire
Recommended Set: Crit Chance/Crit Damage
How to get: 5* Covenant Summon
Skills
| Dark Explosion | Ominous Thunder | Nightmare |
| Attacks with an explosion of dark energy, with a 60% chance to put them to sleep for 1 turn. When the enemy is put to sleep, the caster’s Combat Readiness increases by 50%. This skill does not trigger a Dual attack. | Summons ominous thunder to attack all enemies, decreasing Combat Readiness by 20%, before decreasing Speed for 2 turns. | Burn Effect: Increases damage dealt. Drops Moon of Nightmare on all enemies, with a 70% chance to decrease Defense for 2 turns and put them to sleep for 1 turn, before increasing Attack of the caster for 2 turns. |
Summary
Tenebria strikes a perfect balance between damage and CC.
If you use her as a dual attacker, she doubles up as a potent single-target & AoE attacking threat.
Particularly good against PvE bosses who love to spam mobs, Tenebria is especially powerful in the Automation Tower.
5. Champion Zerato
Attribute: Dark
Recommended Set: Lifesteal/Effectiveness
How to get: 4* Moonlight Summon

Summary
Fully built for PvP, Champion Zerato is a frustrating hero for any team to face.

Build him full lifesteal so he recovers his entire health bar every time he counters 🙂

Regardless of the game mode you’re playing, all DPS heroes are prone to being ganked by enemy mobs or heroes.

Summary
Fielding a powerful skill set for dominating all aspects of Epic Seven, Auxiliary Lots is the perfect partner for a powerful DPS.
If you’re able to give him enough speed to go first in the majority of PvP battles, use his skill 2 to make sure your DPS goes next, with an attack buff.
It’s a great strategy to provide fast wins.
He’s also great against bosses in Abyss, Hell Raid & Expeditions as they all need a ton of DPS to get through successfully.
1. Dizzy
