Damage: 600. Mana cost: 160
How I decide
«Dagon 3: secure a window to connect first, then finish with magical damage.»
Ruslan UkrainskyiSpeaking through Rodya
- 01 Situation
- The target is available, their protection is understood, and extra instant damage can finish the combo.
- 02 My decision
- I calculate this level's damage and the cost of the next step while keeping resources for my own abilities.
- 03 What I avoid
- Automatically upgrade every level while access to the target and useful control remain unresolved.
When I would buy it
I assess each level upgrade by its extra damage and cost rather than automatically buying the whole chain.

What to compare it with
