Description
Night Queen is a Warden Vampire PVE Build for Solo and Group gameplay. This Magicka Warden PVE Build is utilizing the Vampire skill-line and is optimized for Vampire Stage 3. Night Queen combines Warden’s Active & Passive skills with Vampire abilities to allow you to complete almost every PVE content.
For a non Vampire Magicka Warden PVE Build you can take a look at Ice Queen.
If you are a new player, you can take a look at my Warden Beginner Guide.
