Guide🔗

Community opinion, translate faithfully. No explicit S/A/B letter tier given; described as broken/OP-tier mage.

Overall: A broken-tier mage whose summons are powerful, whose Spell-Power-based damage is excellent, who is tanky, and who can even gain extra actions. Counted as top-tier among all mages (green attribute and Beradin, Kun, Gishne, Diablo, Este Dote, etc.). Strong when run summon-focused, but also pulls his weight as a battle-mage with Ice Missile and Magic Spear.

Passive: Unconditional +20% Spell Power note: passive text lists +10% initial, and at end of character turn picks one of 3 buffs; buff power scales with awakening.

• Sturdy Frontline: buff on Heavy Armor allies, reduces first damage taken for 2 turns. Useful with heavy-armor tanks; the Mystic Soldiers summoned by Dragon Strike are Heavy Armor, so AI usually picks this after Dragon Strike.
• Battlefield Flag: buff on allies within 3 tiles; if using ranged skill without moving, cooldown -3 and crit rate up. Quite strong but the "don't move" condition is awkward, so rarely used.
• Magic Veil: self buff; Spell-Power-scaled shield for 2 turns; while shield holds, chance to be crit and AoE damage taken drop. No special condition, and since Clausewitz is a light-armor mage it patches his low defense; his all-in Spell Power makes the shield very strong. At 5-Awakening cooldown drops to 2 so Magic Veil never gaps, so rushing 5-Awaken is recommended.

Classes (7.1): All three Tier-3 options cap Spell Power at +50%, so ceiling is equal; acquisition and extra effects differ.

• 1st recommended: Skimmer. Strong signature skills sit on the Tactician-Skimmer tree; the +50% Spell Power condition ("on attack, target adjacent to an ally") is very easy, and kills leave a Mystic Tactics Book granting a free extra action with no cap on repeats. Can solo-sweep enemies. "If you're not using Skimmer, why use Clausewitz."
• 2nd recommended: Wind Wilder. Learns Genie summon, fitting his summoner nature. +50% via 25% + 25% but conditions are strict, so less recommended despite the TP payback.
• Archmage: after a "combat attack" if enemy survives, steal 1 TP and +50% Spell Power for 1 turn. Learns Thunderbolt; TP theft applies to basic attacks so TP is plentiful. Doesn't apply to AoE, so poor synergy with Dragon Strike; sometimes run as a battle-mage with Ice Missile + Magic Spear instead.

Signature skills & Ultimate (7.2):

• Dragon Strike: 3 TP, 3x3 area for 60% Spell Power, summons 3 dark/slash/heavy in a line for 2 turns. Summons have no turn and can't move but create a control zone, ignore movement-hinder and position-control, and attack for 80% attack when an enemy ends action within 8 surrounding tiles; also give adjacent allies cover. His core skill; can push enemies and break formation; a melee enemy attacking the center soldier eats 100% counter plus 80%x3 end-of-action hits, theoretically up to 340% of the soldier's attack. Summons also assist-attack, enabling encirclement. Being Heavy Armor they benefit from Solid Front; AI almost always uses Solid Front after Dragon Strike.
• Plane Shift: swaps a target enemy within 3 tiles with an ally within 3 tiles and deals 100% Spell Power. Tricky, used situationally (pull enemies, obstacle gimmicks).
• Genie Summon: summons 1 Genie (dark/magic/medium) within 2 tiles. Specialized in hindering enemy movement: applies movement-down debuff to enemies ending action within 2 tiles, and +30% magic damage to movement-controlled enemies. Can't use the enemy Genie's whirlwind summon, but has line, 3 tiles, 90% Spell Power, 2-turn movement-down. Versatile despite lacking the whirlwind.
• Ultimate Lightning of Thundermare: pick a spot within 3 tiles, hit enemies within 3 tiles for Spell-Power damage; adjacent enemies take extra 50% Spell Power lightning and get counter-blocking Electrocute. His skills have high TP cost / cooldowns / fixed uses, so gaps let TP build; in long fights it sees surprising use.

Recommended gear (7.3):

• Weapon: dedicated. Bonus stat is magic penetration (great fit). Weapon skill grants Dynamic Magic at turn start (stacking Spell Power, stacks drop on skill-kill); Clausewitz-only effect disperses 80% of combat damage taken to summons within 2 tiles at 6-star, and he can summon up to 4, making him extremely tanky.
• Armor: Chancellor set (Beradin-motif) recommended, all-in Spell Power plus penetration.
• Accessory: Necronomicon most recommended; at full awaken raises summon level by 5 and buffs Spell Power 10%.

Balance history: Buffed on 2026-04-21; in PvP, combos with Altair, Beramode of Conspiracy, Esmeralda, full-build Karim/Silver, etc. let a duplicated "Jebi" keep pulling ultra-stat Genies for "insane damage," so a temporary measure was applied via the emergency maintenance on 2026-06-26.
