Useful Info

Merfolk aquamancers are aggressive casters that provide support for other merfolk opponents. They can deal steam, cold, or physical damage, and can temporarily turn perfectly safe terrain into shallow water or push you around the field. They can be found almost exclusively in the Shoals.

Spells

Spell set
Slot1 Primal Wave (3d20) Wizard flag
Slot2 Steam Ball (3d18) Wizard flag
Slot3 Throw Icicle (3d23) Wizard flag
Slot4 Blink Emergency flag, Wizard flag

Tips & Tricks

  • Without cold resistance and steam resistance, aquamancers can be even worse than merfolk javelineers. Their ability to suddenly dump you in water is extremely dangerous if you're engaged in melee with water nymphs or other merfolk or at the time.
  • While you'll still take damage from Primal Wave, fighting them while flying means you won't have to stand around in shallow water after getting hit.
  • Merfolk aquamancers often come with nice cutlasses, so Short Blade specialists should make sure they kill them someplace where their loot is accessible.
