Stats

• Strength: 1
• Magic: 3
• HP: 3

Sun Power: Mirror Placement

Place 2 mirror tiles on the grid. Landing on one mirror automatically triggers the other mirror's cell effect as well.

Talent: Arcane Insight

At the start of each biome, automatically reveal the content of one random cell in every row.

Strengths

• Highest starting Magic stat — naturally immune to Black Holes sooner
• Mirror ability can double chest rewards or neutralize two monsters at once
• Naturally counters the trickiest Biome 3 and 4 mechanics

Weaknesses

• Lowest HP in the game — zero margin for error
• Mirror ability requires advanced grid reading to use effectively
• Cannot brute-force through dangerous rows like the Knight

Tips

• Avoid all Teeth that increase physical monster spawn rates
• Use Mirror to place on empty/chest cells to guarantee double rewards
• At Magic level 4, Mimics are auto-revealed — save gold on Bombs
