Call of Dragons Best Mage March Guide (Heroes, Artifacts, Pets)

‍

Call of Dragons Mage March Hero Composition

‍

Primary: Liliya + Waldyr (META)

‍

The definitive mage pairing. Liliya's Flames of Vengeance (AoE damage to 3 legions, Damage Factor 1,200 scaling with Magic ATK) combined with Waldyr's AoE damage, stat boosts, and sustainability creates the highest sustained AoE magic damage output in the game. Liliya as commander, Waldyr as deputy — Liliya's talent tree and artifact bonuses apply to the legion while Waldyr's skills add secondary damage and buffs.

‍

Alternative: Liliya + Velyn (Control Mage)

‍

Velyn's Frozen Star deals Magic Skill damage to the target and two nearby legions plus Freeze (10% March Speed reduction for 3 seconds). This adds crowd control to your mage march at the cost of raw damage. Use when disrupting enemy formations matters more than maximum DPS — typically in defensive scenarios or when protecting allied infantry positions.

‍

Alternative: Hosk + Liliya (Universal Magic)

‍

For whales with fully-built Hosk, putting him as commander with Liliya as deputy creates a universally durable magic march. Hosk's counterattack and legion capacity combined with Liliya's AoE skills produces a march that's both tanky and devastating. Use when you need your mage march to survive concentrated fire while dealing damage.

‍

Call of Dragons Mage March Artifact Priority

‍

The right artifact on your mage march amplifies Flames of Vengeance's AoE damage and provides additional burst or utility. The wrong artifact wastes a slot that could be producing magic damage multipliers.

‍

Priority 1: Internal Flame. The strongest mage artifact in Call of Dragons. Its magic damage output and scaling make it the default choice for any Liliya-led mage march. If you have it, equip it.

‍

Priority 2: AoE damage artifacts. Any artifact that deals AoE or multi-target damage complements Flames of Vengeance's multi-legion hit pattern. The combined AoE from hero skill + artifact skill devastates clustered enemies.

‍

Priority 3: Low-rage-cost artifacts. Artifacts with lower Rage requirements cycle faster, producing more total activations per engagement. In extended fights, a low-rage artifact that activates 4 times outproduces a high-rage artifact that activates once.

‍

Call of Dragons Mage March War Pet Selection

‍

Sapphire Faedrake (S Tier for Mage). The best War Pet for magic compositions. Sapphire Faedrake's skills are specifically designed for magic units and heroes like Liliya, Velyn, and Waldyr. It deals damage to the target legion and surrounding legions, complementing the AoE pattern of your entire mage march. Build this pet as your mage march priority.

‍

Pet Skills: Prioritize skills that increase magic damage, provide AoE effects, or generate Rage for faster Flames of Vengeance cycling. Reroll using Regeneration Potions to target legendary rarity with maximum skill slots (ideally 6). Getting optimal attributes and skill count requires luck and patience — invest Regeneration Potions specifically on your mage march pet.

‍

Affection Level matters. Your pet's Affection Level (increased through Pet Sanctuary activities) directly influences combat effectiveness. Don't neglect daily pet interactions — the Affection Level bonus is invisible but measurable.

‍

How to Deploy Your Mage March Across Game Modes

‍

Large-scale PvP: Position your mage march where enemies cluster. Flames of Vengeance's 3-target AoE produces maximum value when legions are grouped. Don't chase isolated targets — let infantry and cavalry handle flanking while your mage march devastates the center.

‍

Rally offense: Liliya + Waldyr as your mage rally contribution. The concentrated AoE damage in rally scenarios produces the highest magic damage of any rally composition.

‍

Celestial Battlegrounds: Mage compositions with ranged DPS focus maximize scoring. Position mages in the back, use glass cannon builds, and chain-clear stages for speed. Your mage march is the primary scoring march for this event.

‍

Garrison defense: Mage marches are not optimal for garrison. Use infantry (Goresh + Skogul) or Hosk + Madeline for defense. Deploy your mage march for offense where AoE produces its highest value.

‍

A quick breakdown...

‍

• Mage march = Hero pairing + Artifact + War Pet, all optimized for magic damage. Three layers producing multiplicative value.

• Primary pairing: Liliya + Waldyr (META, highest sustained AoE magic damage). Alternatives: Liliya + Velyn (freeze control), Hosk + Liliya (universal magic tank).

• Artifact priority: Internal Flame (strongest mage artifact), then AoE damage artifacts, then low-rage-cost artifacts for faster cycling.

• War Pet: Sapphire Faedrake (S Tier for mage). Reroll for legendary rarity, max skill slots. Increase Affection Level through daily Pet Sanctuary interactions.

• Deploy in clustered PvP and rally offense where AoE produces maximum value. Don't use for garrison — mage marches are offensive weapons.

• League of Order faction for all mage players: +3% Magic DEF + +10% Gather Speed.

‍

A mage march isn't just Liliya. It's Liliya + the right deputy + the right artifact + the right pet. Optimize all three layers and the AoE devastation follows.
