"Magic has always come easily to me."

- Li-Ming, the Rebellious Wizard

While many academically-minded people of Sanctuary are capable of manipulating the arcane to some notable extent, it takes a certain air of ruthless confidence, a cunning natural instinct, and an absolute disregard for consequence to earn the often-sneered title of “wizard.” Having dismissed the Yshari Sanctum’s teachings in favor of a mastery of the forbidden arts and a life of reckless adventuring, Li-Ming perfectly mirrors these characteristics and wears this wizard moniker with absolute confidence. Now, with few challenges remaining for her in Sanctuary, Li-Ming seeks to test her arcane proficiency in the Nexus!

Offering little in the way of survivability, but capable of unleashing unparalleled amounts of burst damage upon her foes, Li-Ming’s play-style perfectly embodies the “glass cannon” archetype. Li-Ming’s core damaging abilities, Magic Missiles and Arcane Orb, deal high amounts of damage, but can be avoided by aware and fast-reacting enemies. Anticipating enemy movement and maintaining the proper positioning with Teleport will be key for successfully playing the rebellious wizard to her maximum potential. Li-Ming’s Heroic abilities grant the player a choice between a beam of massive arcane damage in Disintegrate, or a Wave of Force that knocks back and deals moderate damage to all enemies in an area. Li-Ming’s trait, Critical Mass, is the lynchpin of Li-Ming’s explosive kit. Rewarding players who go all-in to secure kills, Critical Mass grants a cooldown reset on all abilities (including Heroics) when scoring a takedown. Risky decisions often payoff when utilizing this trait – resulting in one kill potentially cascading into many more!
