Firemage was a rare champion released in v0.52. It has the unique ability of "(Magic) After 6 turns any unit in the marked location is destroyed and all adjacent units are pushed away 1 space."
Strengths[]
The ability it has cannot be stopped (except by magic-immune units), and 3 range is quite far to threaten. It is also versatile in that it can push away both opponent and ally units, allowing minions to "retreat" when otherwise impossible. At +++, its strategy shines with being able to swap with ally units, allowing further threats upon the space of the marked location. It is also relatively cheap so it can trade easily, especially at lower levels.
Weaknesses[]
Firemage cannot attack directly until ++. Its mobility at all levels is rather limited and it can be killed by any long range piece. Its abilities are also useless against magic-immune units, and 6 turns is quite some time for the opponent to prepare against the magic ability. It also has a glaring blindspot at its diagonals until ++.
