maggie attacks

[TaliHazard]

i feel like her non power attack should be ranged. I literally only use power attack because of this the entire time

Switch to electric or ice.

Ichigo is correct- both Electric and Ice spellbooks both have ranged primary fires

Never a bad idea to roll with two spellbook types for your loadout

Whilst on the subject of Maggie's ice spellbook: how is the power attack supposed to work for it? It looks like it applies some sort of cold effect in the area I'm aiming at, but it doesn't seem to last very long, affecting only the initially targeted area. It still drains my energy as I target around the place but doesn't appear to be damaging or applying status effects to enemies.

[IchigoMait]

There are 2 mechanics to the ice power attack, first is the targeting circle and then there is the actual effect that spawns on the initial cast and when you move the targeting circle around the damaging and status applying ice effect will follow it around, but that also means it can get stuck behind stuff. So basically you're playing Overlord with your minions with ice power attack.

The ice effect itself does damage and applies status effect when enemies are inside the effect, but nothing happens when you just target the enemy from one area to another.
Fastest way is to stop casting and then recast it.

Ah that makes more sense now; I hadn't appreciated that the circle itself had a movement speed independent of my targeting circle.

How do I get the Electric or Ice spellbooks?

I feel like Maggie's attacks need to have a limited range. I have no idea why someone would pick a bow over a spell book.

Your're comparing characters here, only choices are 3 spell books and two melee weapons for the sorcerer.
If you want less distance for the sorc, then the bow user should use arced projectiles for longer distances. Otherwise it should stay the same in terms of distance and maybe just adjust charging times, sorc taking more time compared to bow charged attacks.

Check out the buildings in the main menu (those in the background). For that, you'd need the Armoury building (the far left from the main menu).

The game is very unclear about the process.

1. Make sure you select Maggie as you can only see upgrades for your specific character.
2. Visit the armory.
3. I cant remember if her electric or ice books are unlocked by default or not but you should see at least 1 blue star under them to know they are selectable. If not you need to spend gold to unlock them.
4. Go to Hero Details before embarking.
5. On the left of Maggie there will be 2 green boxes indicating your weapons and you can select the box and change the weapon here to the electric or ice book.

I did not know this too, before playing the game, but the moment I played the game I knew what the armoury was for. I got like my electric spell after the first run on hard. Second run was soloing the medium difficulty.

Though understandable if you don't play games normally.
If you've seen few hundred (or less) games, then it's just about fine tuning what games you wanna play, instead of how to play them (personally played thousands, not through, but enough to understand the gameplay loop and get bored with it).

3. Only her fire spellbook and first melee weapon are unlocked. The rest you have to buy open, each for 3k gold.
