–Magikill, Stick War II: Order Empire | ||
Magikill, known as Mages in the Armory, are powerful spellcasters of the Order originally made by Magis that appeared during the later events of Stick War, before later reappearing in the series for it's following media. Near the end of the war, the Magikill tended to replace the Swordwrath with their summoning ability, creating minions that were near as powerful as their rivals without any Gold or Population costs.
While their most notable inclusion was in that of the Order Empire, the Magikill was originally devised by the Magikill Empire. After multiple failed attempts at redemption, the Magikill Empire fell and left the Order with their unit.
They are followers and believers of "Magikill", the Way of the Mage.

Etymology[]

Trivia[]
- In the Stick Empires Game Guide, Magikill are described as "Leader of Order, powerful mage able to cast explosions, poison, and electric walls."
- Magikill Minions have the same headpiece in Stick War: Legacy as the Final Boss.
- A Magikill is seen in a cutscene in the Stick War: Legacy stage, Endless Deads, where it died while it was attacked by zombies.
- While playing the game, the player can see the Magikill's corpse in the first wave, while in the second wave, his body decomposes. The third and all waves after that will have a grave of the said Magikill, with his staff and hat on it.
- This means that one night there is almost a year
- On some missions the staff on the grave will have fallen
- Magikill used to cost 500 Mana, until they were buffed by reducing their cost to 400 Mana.
- They still cost 500 Mana in Stick War II: Order Empire.
- Poison Spray used to be cast at whatever range the player said. This was changed so it was always cast at max range, making it easier for new players.
- If multiple Magikill are selected and are told to use a spell, only the closest Magikill with the ability ready will actually cast a spell.
- Thus, if you select multiple Magikill and you want most/all of them to use a spell, you must click rapidly whilst moving your cursor up and down from the target to your Magikill or rely on the Magikill select hotkey each time you want to cast a new spell.
- In Patch 1.89, Poison Spray was nerfed to do less damage, because it was the most effective way to poison, with the other being Deads. Blast also had its damage reduced, but gained the ability to burn.
- Magikill used to be the mascot of the stick war series before being replaced by the Spearton.
- The magikill in the hat with the purple ribbon appeared only in Stick War 1 but his avatar appears in Stick War 3 and Stick War Legacy.
- His quote "None shall pass!" is a reference to Gandalf's most iconic quote "You shall not pass!" from the Lord of the Rings.
