How to Play Mystic Defender
Quick start
Begin with the flame spell and keep your distance while learning to charge attacks by holding the fire button. Collect additional magic and switch spells to match enemy formations or terrain. Adjust the flame direction while moving, jump before hazards rather than reacting late and preserve health for the large guardians at the end of each area.
Controls
D-pad: move, crouch and direct flame attacks. A: select magic. B: cast the selected spell; hold to charge a stronger attack. C: jump. Start: begin, select and pause.
