Magicka/YMMV: Difference between revisions

Line 2:

* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]: For a lighthearted, comedic action-adventure game, the orchestral score is [http://www.magickagame.com/media/music surprisingly epic], especially the various boss themes and At World's End.

* [[Demonic Spiders]]

** The Yetis, oh-so-very-much. [[Lightning Bruiser|Big and tough as a troll, almost as fast as a Wizard with Haste]], and capable of a [[One Hit Kill]] if they catch you and stuff you in their mouths. Thankfully, they can be killed quickly with two Lightning Bolts, provided you have a ready trigger finger - until you fight them [[Oh Crap|indoors...]]

*** It is possible to get them to drop you once they pick you up... by [[Violation of Common Sense|setting yourself on fire]]. Arrowhead really missed out on a possible achievement for [[The Adventures of Dr. McNinja (Webcomic)|doing this]]...

*** Luckily, while they are fast and deadly, they can't take more damage than a regular troll, so enough focus fire can kill them quite quickly. Plus, you can avoid being picked up if you just keep on moving (so long as you don't move ''towards'' the Yeti).

*** A possible tactic might be to cast Charm on the yeti to pacify it first, then attack with your strongest spells. Charm is also thankfully easy to memorize, being W-E-D (Life-Shield-Rock).

*** Another useful tactic is to buy time with a stone wall (ED), then use water and frost one after the other to freeze them. Once they're all frozen, you have enough time to smash them with rock, then re-freeze them before they can move.

** Dwarves are among the toughest [[Elite Mook|Elite Mooks]] out there. They're as armored and tough as Orcs, they have Arcane resistance that severely diminishes the power of Arcane beams, and they can ''cast spells''. Among these spells, they'll often use Teleport to avoid your mine traps or to box you in, and use Earth element spells to launch rocks at you that, if you don't have a shield or armor up, will [[One Hit Kill]] you. Thankfully, they're also extremely slow, so it's not all that hard to keep your distance and hammer them from a distance, if you have the maneuvering room.

** Malignant Beholders are also living nightmares. While they aren't nearly as fast as Yetis and can't take as much damage, they more than make up for it with massively damaging ranged attacks. Their lightning bolts can drain personal shields very quickly, and if you decide to drop your shield and go with lightning resistance, it'll use its main eye to insta-freeze you, then insta-gib you.

* [[Game Breaker]]: Given the nature of the game, there are very, very many features that can be exploited to your advantage.
