|Here's my build. It takes advantage of Dim Glacier's Hell's Jack enchant, focusing on Jack Frost Nova and Hell's Drive. It also works great with the TDRC + Time Gap combo. There are two variations: a more powerful glass cannon build, and a slightly less powerful but much beefier variant. More comments below the screenshots.
|Here's my specialty - Jack Frost Nova. It takes advantage of Dim Glacier's Hell's Jack enchant, focusing on Jack Frost Nova and Hell's Drive. It also works great with the TDRC + Time Gap combo. There are two variations: a more powerful glass cannon build, and a slightly less powerful but much beefier variant. Jack Frost Nova by itself is already quite strong, but other skills can be cast while it is on a 3-second cooldown. One must know how to "piano" and properly rotate multiple skills for maximum damage.

[[File:HN Mage 1.png|left|900x900px|thumb|Default skill build.]]

[[File:HN Mage 2.png|left|900x900px|thumb|Default skill build.]]
[[File:HN Mage 3.png|left|900x900px|thumb|The first build has less damage (by appx. 10-15%) but has far greater survival thanks to Overcoming Crisis (OC). Even at just level 2 Overcoming Crisis, it still provides a decent boost to HP (example: from 85k to 125k), but more importantly, access to a panic / oh $$$$ button in case of emergency, as long as there is 50 AP and not on a 60-second cooldown. The bonus PATK and SMATK is the cherry on top.<br>
[[File:HN Mage 1y.png|left|900x900px|thumb|100% VCT Yortus combo variant. DEX-increasing skills like Owl's Eye is at a lower level, giving a few extra points to other skills.]]
However, there are compromises resulting in around 10-15% less damage. Self Study Sorcery (SSS) is down to level 5. The main skills Hell's Drive (HD) and Jack Frost Nova (JFN) are maxed, Jupitel Thunderstorm (JTS) is down to level 9, and Ground Gravitation (GG) is down to level 7. JTS has max hits and AoE at level 9, while GG has max AoE at level 7. Despite the reduced damage, soloing Depth 2 (with adequate equipment) is very possible and relatively comfy, with a Brilliant Protection Scroll and Thunderproof Potion of course.]]
[[File:HN Mage 2y.png|left|900x900px|thumb|100% VCT Yortus combo variant. Replace Sanctuary with something else. I added points there because I'm a lazy cheapskate who wants a bit of an auto-heal in Lake of Fire or in the strange dungeon.]]

[[File:HN Mage 3 ver 2.png|left|900x900px|thumb|The second build has more damage (appx. 10-15%), thanks to a maxed out SSS, HD and JFN. JTS is still level 9. GG is now at level 9, resulting in increased damage and significantly less ACD. However, the lack of OC results in a more fragile Glass Cannon build, losing access to an HP boost and full heal. As a result, soloing Depth 2 is still possible, but significantly more care must be taken, especially against really hard-hitting Mosquitoes and Salamanders. The panic button is gone. Be careful!]]

|Optional
|Requires Level 7 Napalm Beat and Level 5 Soul Strike. While it's optional, it is still a very handy skill and can be a life-saver in a pinch. Aside from blocking melee physical attacks, it can also prevent armor from getting broken from melee Armor Break attacks and shadow equipment from getting stripped. It can also block attacks reflected by Max Pain at melee range too!

|Adds up to 2000HP and increases Holy resistance by up to 50%. Get this when more HP and Holy Resistance are needed.
|The Mage Tree's AP skill greatly increases the damage of all skills for 5 minutes. However, because it uses up '''A LOT''' of skill points, it is up to you to decide whether to invest in this and specialize in 1-2 skills or ignore it and max 3-4 skills for more variety at the cost of reduced damage.

|Optional
|Optional
|If survival and not dying too much are some of the top priorities, get this skill, preferably maxed.
|Overcoming Crisis is a super-duper skill that temporarily increases Max HP, PATK and SMATK, and fully restores HP. It costs a mere 50 AP to cast and has a 60-second cooldown. A fantastic panic button to prevent a terrible fate. Due to skill point constraints, mage builds will be forced to compromise and make decisions on what skills to get.

|Optional
|}
|Requires level 1 {{#Skill:105}} and level 1 {{#Skill:107}}. Repairs weapons AND armors by using certain materials. A very handy skill when soloing and quite useful to the party if there are no Meisters and Biolos around, especially in areas where certain enemies destroy equipment.

|Restores 1000 HP and 350 SP per second for 20 seconds, for a grand total of 20,000 HP and 7,000 SP. Affects self and all party members within a 31x31 area. When {{#item:1001329}} is equipped, using the skill grants a 15% boost to All Element Magic Damage for the duration of its cooldown - 5 minutes.

|{{#Skill:5075}}
|Napalm Vulcan Strike is a build that revolves around spamming Napalm Vulcan Strike. The floor is made of floor. It becomes a "firehose" of souls when using the {{#item:400545}} + {{#item:550133}} combo, if both are Grade A. It is powerful, but requires high ACD reduction and high ASPD for maximum power. At least 30% ACD reduction and 173+ ASPD are recommended. Unlike the Jack Frost Nova build above, piano skills and proper skill rotation aren't needed. Just set up a smartkey/smartcast [[Patcher#Turbo_Setup|Turbo]], open up with either Ground Gravitation or Jack Frost Nova to tenderize them a bit, aim, and start spraying them with angry souls.

All skills except for Rule Break in the Hyper Novice mage tree have 10 points. Feel free to choose which skills you want to specialize in. I went for a mix of Wind and Water elements and got Rule Break for even more damage.

[[File:HN Mage 3svs.png|left|900x900px|thumb|NVS and an opener are maxed. In this case, the opener is Ground Gravitation. However, when you're farming in Depth1 and Depth2, Jack Frost Nova is the better opener.]]
