Build Strategy

Torch & Turret Hybrid

The Technomage benefits significantly from the 'New Dawn' update items like Willow Wisp. The strategy focuses on using the Torch weapon. The Torch provides HP (vital due to the character's XP/leveling penalty) and Burning, which synergizes with the character's kit.

You can use Turrets to accelerate gameplay, as Elemental damage tags boost structure attack speed.
