Mag, the Crowd Control Queen

[Mag], the Crowd Control Queen

[Mag], one of the three starting frames, one of the least picked too. Which is bizarre to me, cause she is certainly a wonderful frame to play, especially after changes to her magnetize.

Her abilities here and there can be replaced, this is solely based on player preference. I've looked through the list and only think that Mag's 3 could be replaced with Hildryn's Pillage and tangibly be worthwhile.

Pros:

  • High range makes all of Mag's abilities easy to use in high stress situations
  • Mod layout allows for Augur Secrets to be dropped for a 4/5 Streamline with minimal loss
  • Good strength makes Mag's 2 pull enemies aggressively to the center
  • Extremely good for radiation status procs
  • Exceptional with punch through weapons
  • Egregiously powerful with AoE weaponry
  • Mag's 1 pull CC is cheap and easy to use and spam, swapping exilus for speed drift maks it easier to spam
  • Mag's 3 works together with her 2 to create shrapnel for consistent shred
  • 2's bubble on expiration explosion will hit every target before they can escape
  • Mag's 4 is an instant AoE crowd control for survivability
  • Big energy pool

Cons:

  • Very squishy in the wrong hands
  • Vulnerable to nullifiers and clusters of disruptors
  • Weapon reliant, specifically punch through & AoE weapon reliant
  • Obnoxious to players who try to hit other targets
  • Best in enclosed spaces, but not tight corridors
  • Best against crowds, not very effective against single targets
  • Hold function on Mag's 2 is not very good to use
  • Very cast heavy
  • Low base duration

Notes: The whole purpose of [Mag] is to magnetize enemies to one area and use weapons like [Mara Detron] to radiate enemies, whilst having punch through on them to hit multiple targets to ramp up the bubble damage further, causing a collapse to explode for upwards of 2M damage or even higher.
