- Common relics do almost everything
- Clears corridors in a line with Runic Wave
Weaknesses
- Fragile (120 health)
- Standing still is good for damage and bad for dodging
- Little area damage outside the line of fire

In practice
How to play
Open with Runic Wave and the full combo.
Stay still and on the same target — the projectiles grow.
Against packs, back off until they line up and let the 3rd shot explode in the middle.
Against bosses, distance and nonstop fire; beam only with spare Mana.
Watch out for enemies coming from behind — 120 health goes fast.
