The Left-Click Mage is a subsect of the Mage class within Dungeons that focuses heavily on ☠ Crit Damage, ✎ Intelligence, and ❁ Strength. They often depend on using their Mage Staff passive to attack, hence the name Left-Click, as opposed to Right-Click Mages who use their abilities to attack.

An important thing to note is that there is no early-game for Left-Click Mage. Left-Click Mage is generally only used in Master Mode, with its first practical use being in The Catacombs - Floor VII: as a result, you will not be using LCM in early floors of the Catacombs. Left-Click Mage is both expensive and only useful in the endgame.

It is recommended to use a Right-Click Mage setup during clearing, and to swap to a LCM setup during blood rush and the bossfight.

Recommended Weapons

As opposed to regular Mages, LCMs will prioritise both high ❁ Strength, ☠ Crit Damage, and ❁ Damage and high ✎ Intelligence to maximise their damage dealt with the Mage Staff passive.

Status	Slot	Name	Requirements	Notes
Late Game	Midas' Sword (Starred)	Midas' Sword	Combat XX Catacombs XVII (when dungeonised)	The Midas' Sword, when reforged to Gilded, has comparable (albeit marginally less) stats when compared to a Dark Claymore and significantly high ❁ Damage, maxing out at a +225 bonus for ❁ Damage and ❁ Strength at 250,000,000 coins paid in the Dark Auction when upgraded with Golden Fragments: however, you will need a Lvl 200 Golden Dragon Pet and . It is worth going for as an alternative to the Dark Claymore, but is still slightly edged out in terms of raw stats.
Late Game		Hyperion	Floor VII completion	The Hyperion is one of the best weapons for both RCM and LCM, granting both high base ❁ Strength, ❁ Damage, and ✎ Intelligence. When all Necron's Blade Scrolls are applied to a Hyperion, its Wither Impact ability provides both substantial damage and healing, making it exceptional for LCM. However, note that it finds more usage in the boss fight than clearing, due to its +50% ❁ Damage increase towards ☠ Wither mobs, making it the best option against the 4 Wither Lords.
Late Game		Dark Claymore	Master Mode - Floor VII completion	The Dark Claymore sports the same +500 ❁ Damage as the Giant's Sword, as well as +100 ❁ Strength, +100 ☠ Crit Damage, and +2 Ⓢ Swing Range. This, obviously, results in even higher damage than a Giant's Sword: however, it has an incredibly high requirement and its damage output is comparable to a 250m Midas' Sword.

Recommended Armor Sets

Status	Slot	Name	Requirements	Notes
Universal		Storm's Armor	Floor VII completion	Storm's Armor is, realistically, the only armor set that should be used as an LCM, granting significant ✎ Intelligence. It pairs well with a Hyperion and reduces damage taken by ☠ Wither mobs by 10%: it is the definitive armor set for Left-Click Mage. During the boss fight, it is important to note that you do not swap out the helmet for Wither Goggles: it should only be used during blood rush and clearing. The recommended reforge is Ancient.

Recommended Equipment

Status	Name	Requirements	Notes
Recommended	Balloon Snake	Floor I completion	The Balloon Snake grants decent ✎ Intelligence and Jump Boost II while equipped, allowing for better mobility.
Recommended	Bone Necklace	Floor IV completion	While the Bone Necklace may seem more geared towards Tanks, its bonus ❈ Defense proves to be invaluable for survivability.
Universal	Implosion Belt	Sulphur `IX`	The Implosion Belt is incredibly useful as it affects Implosion and Wither Impact, making it better than an Adaptive Belt for clearing and during blood rush. You can swap to an Adaptive Belt during the bossfight.
Universal	Shadow Assassin Cloak	Floor V completion	The Shadow Assassin Cloak may seem unassuming at first, but once upgraded and properly reforged, it can be very useful. Its perk, allowing you to deal +10% more damage within 5s of your last teleport, can be very useful as you will always have an Aspect of the End or Void in your inventory: do note that teleportation is disabled in the bossfight of Floor VII.
Universal	Soulweaver Gloves	Floor VI completion	The Soulweaver Gloves are one of the best Gloves while inside the Catacombs: granting both decent ❁ Strength and ☠ Crit Damage, it also has the ability to summon a Haunted Skull upon melee kill or ever 15s, which stuns enemies for 2s and reducing their damage by 15%.

Recommended Support Items

Several support items will be invaluable in serving as QoL as a Left-Click Mage.

Status	Slot	Name	Requirements	Notes
Required		Aspect of the Void Etherwarp Conduit	Enderman Slayer `VI`	The Aspect of the Void, combined with the Etherwarp Conduit, is required by the time you are running LCM. It is essential for both mobility and finding Dungeon Secrets, since the Etherwarp Transmission ability allows you to instantly teleport to a targeted block, making it very useful for accessing secrets quickly via a route.
Universal	Ice Spray Wand (Starred)	Ice Spray Wand	Catacombs XX	The Ice Spray Wand is great for clearing out rooms efficiently as it both stuns mobs, damages them, and increases the damage they take for a short period of time. Paired with a short cooldown and low mana cost, and it is incredibly useful for clearing.
Universal		Wither Cloak Sword	Floor VII completion	The Wither Cloak Sword is exceptional QoL for negating damage. Its Creeper Veil ability is incredibly useful for blocking damage and granting a lot of ❈ Defense. It is best used when trying to block attacks that have the capability to instantly kill you, and should be enchanted to Ultimate Wise V.
Universal	Bonzo's Mask (Starred)	Bonzo's Mask	Floor I completion	Bonzo's Mask and Spirit Mask are useful for preventing you from dying, since the Clownin' Around and Second Wind abilities can be used in tandem with each other when one is on cooldown. It is very cheap to craft the Spirit Mask into its upgraded form, which heals you for 100 + 3% of your maximum ❤ Health, as well as to upgrade the Bonzo's Mask.
Universal	Spirit Mask (Starred)	Spirit Mask	Catacombs XV
Recommended		Ragnarock	Combat XXII	The Ragnarock may seem unassuming, but its Ragnarock ability, which grants 1.5x the ❁ Strength of the weapon onto the player for 10s after not taking damage for 3s: this can be used in the beginning of the phases in M5–M7, most notably when entering Storm's phase, when entering the Core Entrance, before entering Necron's phase, and before starting The Wither King's phase. To utilise this item fully, Hot, Fuming Potato Books, Perfect Jasper Gemstones, and a Golden Dragon Pet are recommended.

Recommended Pets

Status	Slot	Name	Notes
Required	Legendary Black Cat Pet	Black Cat Pet	The Black Cat Pet, when paired with a Spooky Cupcake, is required for doing Terminals as +500 ✦ Speed can be achieved to do Terminals efficiently. It should not be used during clearing, since the role of clearing goes to Archers and Berserks.
Recommended	Epic Phoenix Pet	Phoenix Pet	The Phoenix Pet, albeit extremely rare, has some decent use cases: most notably, Rekindle grants temporary immunity to death, making it useful for scenarios where you will be taking large bursts of damage (e.g. from Livid's clones in M5 and from lava in M7). It is not worth upgrading to LEGENDARY, as its base stats and perks are not upgraded, and its Eternal Coins and Magic Bird perks are outclassed by a Piggy Bank, Booster Cookie, and Mystical Mushroom Soup.
Required		Golden Dragon Pet	The Golden Dragon Pet is the definitive Left-Click Mage pet, granting heavily increased ❁ Damage, ❁ Strength, and ⚔ Bonus Attack Speed. It buffs golden weapons, which does buff the Midas' Sword, despite it not being best-in-slot for Left-Click Mage: regardless, its still the best pet for raw damage and is required for LCM.

The Pet Item you want to put on your Pet is entirely up to you, but a few recommended ones are below.

Slot	Name	Notes
	Minos Relic	The Minos and Hephaestus Relic are incredibly useful for increasing all stats on your active pet by +33.3% and +50% respectively: in some cases, this may be worse than a Textbook for ✎ Intelligence, but it most importantly also affects ๑ Ability Damage.
	Hephaestus Relic
	Antique Remedies	It is best paired with a Golden Dragon Pet. The Antique and Hephaestus Remedies grant increased ❁ Strength, making it also exceptional for achieving high damage.
	Hephaestus Remedies
	Spooky Cupcake	The Spooky Cupcake, which grants high ✦ Speed, should only be paired on a Black Cat Pet in order to achieve the maximum ✦ Speed possible. It is best for doing Terminals.

Recommended Modifiers

Enchantments

Enchantment	Notes
Weapons
Sharpness VI	By the time you're playing as LCM, you will need Sharpness VI on your weapon of choice, if not Sharpness VII. All weapons should have this regardless.
Drain	Unlike Life Steal, which is better for RCM builds, Drain is affected by your Mage Beam's ☠ Crit Damage and can ensure substantial survivability.
Prosecute	Prosecute increases your damage per percentage of health on your target, making it useful for one-shotting mobs: this makes it better for clearing, and should be paired on your Withered Dark Claymore.
Execute	Execute increases your damage per per percentage of health missing on your target, making it better for targeting mobs with lots of health: this makes it better during the bossfight, and should be paired on your Chimera V Fabled Hyperion.
Armor
Mana Vampire	These 4 mutually exclusive enchants will be very useful as you will be using ✎ Mana very often as a Mage, meaning that you will be able to receive a lot of healing, ❈ Defense, ❁ Strength, or ⫽ Ferocity.
Hardened Mana
Strong Mana
Ferocious Mana
Growth VI	You should have at least Growth VI and Protection VI by the time you're running M7, if not Growth VII and Protection VII. The increased ❤ Effective Health may seem marginal, but it will benefit you a lot in the long-term.
Protection VI

A good Ultimate Enchantment is also vital for decent survivability and efficient Mage progression.

Enchantment	Notes
Weapons
Chimera	Chimera is the only Ultimate Enchantment you should be using on an LCM weapon: despite being incredibly expensive, it grants incredibly high damage when paired with a Golden Dragon Pet. Chimera III or Chimera IV can suffice in earlier floors of Master Mode, but Chimera V is required by the time you're running M7.
Armor
Legion	Legion is the best Ultimate Enchantment for a Left-Click Mage, since the buffs to raw damage and Combat Stats are extremely useful, especially in M5–M7. Players on a budget can use Legion III for the time being on lower floors, but Legion V is imperative and required for players running M7.
Equipment
The One	The One when applied to a 10-star Bone Necklace at Catacombs L, with all 94 collections maxed and General's Medallion will grant 955.745 ❤ Health and 191.149 ❁ Strength when in Master Mode dungeons.

Reforges

Weapons

Status	Name	Notes
Universal	Wither Blood Withered	Withered is the universal reforge for almost every LCM weapon, giving incredibly high ❁ Strength: its bonus grants even more depending on your Catacombs level. It is best paired with a Dark Claymore.
Universal	Dragon Claw Fabled	Fabled grants heavily increased ☠ Crit Damage, as well as a chance for cries to dead 15% more damage: it is best paired with a Hyperion.
Late-Game	Midas Jewel Gilded	Gilded is the best reforge for the Midas' Sword, granting a substantially increased damage bonus.

Armor

Status	Slot	Name	Notes
Universal		Precursor Gear Ancient	Ancient grants very well-rounded stats, giving both high ❁ Strength, ☣ Crit Chance, and ☠ Crit Damage as well as ✎ Intelligence and decent ❤ Effective Health. As a result, a very high damage output can be achieved.

Equipment

Status	Slot	Name	Notes
Required		Menacing	Menacing grants high ☣ Crit Chance and ☠ Crit Damage, ensuring 100% ☣ Crit Chance and high damage output.
Optimal		Bloodshot	Bloodshot grants the best stats of any Equipment Reforge, but is very expensive and can only be applied to Belts.

Accessory Powers

Magical Power is arguably the most important stat in the game, and you should aim to have 1200 Magical Power by the time you enter Master Mode - Floor VII.

Status	Slot	Name	Notes
Recommended		Luxurious Spool Silky	The Silky Power is both incredibly cheap and easy to obtain, and grants a lot of ☠ Crit Damage as well as marginally increased ✦ Speed. However, it could potentially result in your ❁ Strength and ☠ Crit Damage being unbalanced: if this is the case, you should put more Tuning Points into ❁ Strength.
