Battle spells

Players can equip a Battle Spell before the start of a match. Mastering Battle Spells makes the player much stronger. Spells are something that the player can use as an additional ability for their hero in-game. A player can select one battle spell while in the pregame lobby. They cannot be reset or changed once the match has begun.

Current Battle Spells

This doesn't apply to additional hits from Freya's and Aulus' basic attack because they don't trigger basic attack effects. This somehow also doesn't apply to additional hits from Miya's passive and multiple AoE hits from Beatrix's grenade gun even though they trigger basic attack effects.
