Mystik

The combination of Caprice's passive and active abilities add up to lots of Magic damage. Mystik helps boost this damage considerably, and offers some mana sustainability.

Role Burst Assassin

Playstyle This build highlights Caprice's strong innate mobility to dish out deadly surprise attacks. Use terrain and fog to stay hidden until a fragile target is isolated and vulnerable. Quickly destroy your target, and then escape, using the second charge of Quick Draw if necessary. Stay on the fringes of battle, as you will not be very durable.

Mystik

In a burst build such as this one, Mystik's added damage is invaluable. Also, the combo of offensive skills may leave you out of Mana to cast Quick Draw twice. Mystik's ability will help.

Role Global AoE team support

Cursed Wand will help land your anchors with ease. Diadem and Spirit Ward are essential for utilizing your immense mana pool of over 1500. Look for ideal places to warp and jump in to turn the tides of battle.

Caprice Lore

Caprice is a pirate Queen from the Plane of Lyrie. She spent her youth sailing the seas on her father's naval vessel. When she came of age, she set out on her own to make a name for herself. Much to her father's disapproval, she chose piracy as her calling and systematically dismantled her dear old daddy's naval fleet. No name is more feared or infamous in Lyrie than that of Caprice the Pirate Queen!
