VIDEO-SOURCED GUIDE
Portal mix-up all-rounder
IntermediateMagik is a flexible sword fighter with strong mid-range buttons, projectile coverage, and Dark Portal routes that create real left-right pressure after a knockdown.
Starter game plan
- Control grounded space with crouching Medium and Demon Fire, then confirm the opponent's movement into a stable route.
- End near the wall with Soulsword Slice when possible, set Dark Portal, and call an assist before teleporting for a covered side choice.
- Use Rising Soul to protect the air and as a wall-route ender, then spend Darkchild only when the install can secure a round or a decisive sequence.
Key tools
Lab note: Portal offense becomes much weaker when attempted without assist cover. Confirm the knockdown and assist availability before committing to a side-switch setup.
