Hey, mages! Behold my new invention! Walk up to see it for yourself! I'm not a big fan of walking, you see. I prefer working out my brain, and not my legs! My beloved little self-propelled vehicle, Tes'Lin, will get me anywhere and everywhere, spawning drones and spelling trouble for mages! I'm a damn genius!

Best Isaac Teams

Isaac provides both offensive power and magic defense, making him a crucial pick against teams that rely on mages. To maximize Isaac’s potential, he needs to be paired with heroes that can protect him, amplify his physical damage, and take full advantage of his magic-countering abilities. Here are some of the best team synergies for Isaac:
  • Julius provides robust frontline defense, allowing Isaac to operate safely from the backline. His protective abilities ensure Isaac remains shielded from direct attacks, enabling him to focus on enhancing the team's physical damage.
  • Nebula's "Equilibrium" ability boosts the physical and magical attack of adjacent allies. Positioning Isaac next to Nebula allows him to benefit from this significant increase in physical attack, thereby amplifying his damage output.
  • Sebastian enhances critical hit chances and provides immunity to debuffs. This support ensures Isaac's attacks are more impactful and that he remains unaffected by enemy control effects, maintaining his offensive capabilities.
  • Ginger's rapid-fire attacks benefit from Isaac's physical attack enhancements. Together, they can deliver a continuous barrage of high-damage physical attacks, overwhelming opponents.
  • Astrid and Lucas: This duo's dynamic combat style is complemented by Isaac's support, enhancing their physical damage and providing protection against magic attacks. The combination results in a balanced and formidable offensive front.
