Overview
Elf Mage (Unleashed) is a straight damage unit with no utility pretensions, ranked fifth in DPS — above Puppet on that specific axis. It is a Beginner's Banner unit, which means a new account can realistically own it early, and it stays relevant far longer than most early Mythics.
Why A tier: A. Genuinely strong damage, but single-role — it competes for the same slot as your Secrets and loses.
