Time Wizard

BEST OF May 2025

intelligence Hero

by MMan Dec 24, 2025

Time Wizard

Damages and disables enemies through manipulating time.

Chronus the Time Wizard disrupts his enemies by distorting time itself. He seals foes in time to damage and disable them, rewinding their progress and movements. With a snap, he cracks the space-time continuum to disorient his enemies while trapping them into a shattering reality. As spells are casted around him, Chronus accelerates his magic to push himself further ahead in the timeline.
