SEASON 41 PROFILE
Mage GeniusSpace Escape leaves behind a hat Harley can return to, while Deadly Magic stores part of the damage dealt before exploding. His burst has a round trip: go in, unload Poker Trick and return before the opponent can answer.

HOW TO PLAY
Finish the route and cast Poker Trick at close range so more cards connect, but never leave the hat where the enemy can occupy it.
Apply Deadly Magic before Poker Trick so the explosion records the full burst. Return with Space Escape as soon as the response arrives.
In five-on-five fights, wait for a side target or someone already injured. Harley loses impact if he rings the tank and disappears without threatening the back line.
