Can we play as a mage/wizard in this game?

[Omenpapa]

Game looks interesting based on videos, but everybody is going around with a bow or sword.. is there a staff/orb or something which is focusing on magic to avoid material weapon usage entirely?

[Seiryuu]

So far there isn't. The cast feature is pretty close to magic though, depending on what boon you get..

[NeedtoDie]

If you go for many Ares boons you can focus on summoning Blade rifts. With enough upgrades, they become your main source of damage.
You can also go for many Zeus boons and focus on casting lightning bolts.

"Mage" builds are really dependent of the boons you find. You need to know how to unlock tier 2 or 3 boons or you will rely entirely on RNG.

A sixth weapon is coming in a future update, which could end up being a staff or wand or something.

you can have cast builds but they work best if supplemented with your weapons.

It would be interesting to have a mage weapon but it does not seem really necessary. There are tons of mage builds.

What would be great, would be a sandbox/playtest mode in which you can prearrange your build so that you can have an enjoyable softcore run with whatever weapons/boons are most fun for you.

You have gun. Gun is better than mage.

I feel OP but even though i do love magic/mages i think here this lind of style is portrayed by the boons and the animation effects. The status effects plays and the Calls also are a good show of that. Dunno what could a 7th weapon (we already have 6) be like but why not i think.

There is currently no plans for a 7th weapon. The game will leave early access with 6, as there are only 6 weapon slots in the courtyard.

If you had actually bothered reading what i said, i did specify currently. which is the truth. for the moment, there are no plans to add a seventh weapon during the early access period.
