Krixi
Mage
Introduction to Krixi
▼Krixi is a Mage who plays Mid Lane in Arena of Valor, packing very high magic damage with a simple, easy-to-learn kit. That makes Krixi a great fit for players just starting to learn the mage role.
Mischief sends out a butterfly illusion that flies out and back, dealing magic damage on both passes, while her second skill knocks enemies airborne. Whenever a skill hits, her passive gives her a short burst of movement speed. Her ultimate, Moonfall, rains meteors around her for several seconds and speeds her up, so Krixi can keep moving while pouring damage onto nearby enemies.
Her weaknesses are low health and limited crowd control, so Krixi must keep her distance and avoid getting jumped by assassins. In the following sections you'll find the item build, Arcana, Enchantments, summoner spells, combos, skill usage and how to play Krixi in each phase of the match.

- Use Skill 2

How to Use Krixi's Skills Effectively
How to Play Krixi in the Early Game
In the early game, take advantage of your long reach to continuously use Skill 1
Mischief
to clear minions and poke the enemy.
When you see the enemy hero exposed or your jungler comes to gank, immediately use Skill 2
Nature's Wrath
to launch the enemy for a coordinated kill.
When there’s an opening, gank early or secure major objectives with your allies to apply pressure, since
Krixi
is a strong hero from the very first levels.
How to Play Krixi in the Mid Game
By the mid game,
Krixi
‘s playstyle isn’t much different from the early game.
Use Skill 1
Mischief
to clear minions fast and keep rotating to join fights.
Always move safely and keep distance from the enemy, then spam skills precisely, aiming to launch enemy assassins or their core damage dealer, then use Skill 3
Moonfall
to unload damage on the enemy team.
How to Play Krixi in the Late Game
By the late game, move with your team to prepare for full team fights, and avoid wandering alone too much, since getting picked off would be a big disadvantage for your allies in a fight.
At the start of a fight, hold a backward position and continuously use Skill 1
Mischief
to attack the enemy’s core damage dealer from range, and use Skill 2
Nature's Wrath
to launch enemies trying to attack your own core damage dealer.
When you see a good opportunity, activate Skill 3
Moonfall
to burst down the enemy’s core damage dealer.
