Want to unleash your inner pyromaniac? Fat Princess is the best place to do it. Grabbing a mage hat and setting the other players aflame is a very satisfying experience. Of course, turning them all into hunks of ice is pretty fun too. Let me guide you through the ways of being a mage in the PS3 multiplayer game, Fat Princess.
Mages might only have four hearts for health, but over time they have become a great melee character used to turn the tide of any battle. The mage class in Fat Princess has two stages to it too. Before that mage hat machine is upgraded, you can use the mage’s hat to burn people. After the mage hat machine is upgraded, you can freeze them with the upgraded ice mage ability.
Level One – Burn, Baby, Burn!
The default mage, the fire mage, is helpful at the first in rushing to the middle to capture any important outpost. As the workers gather wood and ore, the mages keep the other team at bay with the area burn. If a mage is targeting one opponent they can throw a fire ball. The longer they hold the charge button, the stronger the fireball attack will be. If the fire mage just holds down the charge button without targeting one opponent, then they can build up an area attack which will burn anybody on the other team that happens to be inside the circle of fire.
Here are a few more fire mage tips and suggestions.
- You can light bombs with a charged area fire attack.
- Thaw out your frozen teammates with the charged area fire attack too.
- You can set wood on fire with the area fire attack, so warriors can light their swords or glaive and the rangers can light their bow or gun.
Level Two – Cool as Ice!
Once your mage hat has been upgraded, you can then play as the ice mage. The ice mage does everything the fire mage does, except with ice rather than fire. If a mage is targeting one opponent they can throw an ice ball. The longer they hold the charge button, the stronger the ice ball attack will be. If the ice mage just holds down the charge button without targeting one opponent, then they can build up an area attack which will freeze anybody on the other team that happens to be inside the circle of ice.
Here are a few more ice mage tips and suggestions.
- A charged area ice attack can defuse bombs
- Put out your teammates that are aflame with the charged area ice attack
- Since the fire charge works faster, you could charge up an area or targeted attack as the fire mage, then switch to the ice mage.
Chicken Potion – Also, once the mage hat machine is upgraded – you gain access to the chicken potion. You can pick this up, toss it at the opposing team and turn them all into easier to kill poultry.
More Mage Class Tips and Tricks
Here are a few other things to remember about the mage class in Fat Princess:
- Keeping a mage with the princess is a good way to stay on defense, and keep any princess rescuers and kidnappers at bay.
- If frozen by an ice mage attack, you can rapidly hit the jump button to break free faster.
- If burned by a fire mage attack, quickly jump into a body of water to keep from losing too many hearts.
The mage might be my second favorite class to play with, after the worker, in Fat Princess. There is just so much fun to be had when you can jump into a mosh pit of players from the other team, with a fully charged area attack. Nothing beats watching them all scream and run around on fire.
I hope these tactics helps out, next time you do battle in Titania.
