Archon Blast shown in action.

Archon is a Mastery Wizard skill unlocked at Level 30, which transforms the Wizard into a being of pure energy. While in Archon form, the Wizard has access to a powerful set of unique Archon skills.

Archon Blast is an ability the Wizard gains access to only while in Archon form. This ability works like a very short range Nova effect, blasting a high damage explosion that hurts nearby enemies, within about 9 yards of the Wizard.

Archon Blast is available in all rune effects of Archon, as it's one of the three basic Archon spell abilities, along with Archon Strike and Disintegration Wave.

These are the five Archon rune effects. Archon Blast is available in all five of these forms.

Archon Abilities[edit | edit source]

The following abilities are only available while in Archon form. Other normal Wizard skills can *not* be used while in Archon, so there is a trade off to this form; much higher damage, but with a limited variety of offensive skills, and little or no defensive/movement skills.
