Lich Add-On Guide

The Lich

Economy/Cooldown profile for The Lich. Focus on spell economy loop.

Core plan

The Lich wins by layered pressure over long match states. Build add-ons around spell economy loop and avoid setups that only look good in highlight moments.

When this guide applies

  • You want to maximize spell economy loop value rather than generic perk-only pressure.
  • Your recent losses come from failing to convert economy windows consistently.
  • Smooth power cycle downtime across long matches.
  • Maintain map pressure between hooks.
  • Avoid low-impact overcommits in weak lanes.

Specific add-ons to consider

Iridescent Book of Vile Darkness

Fly-through window blocks that window for survivors, and Flight of the Damned gains crouch-hit capability with fewer projectiles.

Best when: Route control plans where hard window denial and altered projectile profile force bad survivor pathing.

Vorpal Sword

Dispelling Sphere inflicts Broken on injured survivors, and Mage Hand breaks dropped pallets instead of lifting them.

Best when: Attrition-heavy chase flow where anti-heal pressure and direct pallet removal create cleaner downs.

Cloak of Invisibility

When all four spells are on cooldown simultaneously, gain Undetectable for 20 seconds.

Best when: Spell-cycle builds that intentionally stack cooldowns for stealth re-entry windows.

Perk pairings

Common mistakes

  • Common leak: burning spell tools in low-leverage moments.
  • Overloading niche add-ons that reduce consistency in normal queue states.
  • Ignoring map-state win condition while chasing extra mechanical value.
