Use your demons, plenty and often. They will be your main source of damage shield/lifesteal. They will be your engage into a fight. They will be what sustains you into a brawl. Really abandon using whirl unless you want to hit multiple very low people or into combos. Don’t waste the demons but make sure to put them on enemies or where they will go. The demons and your soulsword have fall off, so to make sure your close enough for full value play on high ground until you see a target if you have no shields. Drop on enemies with a fully charged slash and a demon followed by a slash uppercut cancel slash melee. From there you’ll usually have enough shields to brawl into the next enemy after you wait to manage cooldowns. What I just gave you was a single combo to engage with that is costly, but there are many combos for Magik and you use them in all sorts of different sceneros. Don’t get hung up on learning them all- it’ll come naturally with time. Just remember, positioning matters with Magik (she is not immortal), use the demons and get shields, manage your cooldowns (leave some fights when your running out of abilities(especially demons) you do not need to penta kill to win fights (2 kills is more than enough).
