Overview

Arcane Order is a premier control and damage composition that leverages magical synergies between three powerful sorcerers. This Team-Up grants Scarlet Witch the devastating Sorcery Surge ability while unlocking Magik's Chain of Cyttorak, enabling her to link and slow multiple enemies simultaneously. The combination creates a formidable frontline disruption tool that prevents enemy advances and sets up elimination opportunities.

This combo excels in team-oriented matchups where crowd control and burst damage are essential. Doctor Strange provides protective utility and zoning, Scarlet Witch delivers high-output damage with enhanced casting, and Magik controls enemy positioning through linking mechanics. Together, they form an impenetrable magical barrier that dominates mid-range engagements.

Arcane Order shines when your team needs reliable crowd control, sustained magical pressure, and the ability to isolate high-priority targets. The slowing effects from Chain of Cyttorak combined with Sorcery Surge's damage output makes it extremely difficult for enemies to mount effective counterattacks or escape coordinated focus fire.

How to activate

3
Coordinate Magik's Chain of Cyttorak targeting with Scarlet Witch's burst windows to maximize crowd control effectiveness and secure eliminations

Pro Tips

Chain Linking Priority
Use Magik's Chain of Cyttorak to link the enemy team's main damage dealer with their support, disrupting both simultaneously and creating vulnerability windows for your team to capitalize
2
Sorcery Surge Timing
Coordinate Scarlet Witch's Sorcery Surge activation with Magik's slow effects to maximize damage output when enemies are unable to evade. Build cooldown reduction to maintain constant magical pressure
3
Positional Advantage
Leverage Doctor Strange's protective abilities to keep Scarlet Witch and Magik safe while they deliver damage. Position the trio in elevated areas to maximize Chain of Cyttorak's reach and Sorcery Surge's effectiveness
4
Team Coordination
Communicate link targets with your team to ensure focus fire on slowed enemies. The combination of slowing and burst damage guarantees rapid target elimination when executed properly

FAQ

Sorcery Surge amplifies Scarlet Witch's ability power and reduces her ability cooldowns, allowing her to cast more frequently and deal increased damage per spell cast while Chain of Cyttorak keeps enemies slowed and vulnerable
