— Team Kirby Clash Deluxe description

Beam Mage is one of the fourroles that can be taken on in theSub-GameTeam Kirby Clash and its expansions,Team Kirby Clash Deluxe andSuper Kirby Clash. It is based onBeam, though it bears some noteworthy differences. Whereas Beam Kirby dons a jester cap, Beam Mage Kirby has a pointy wizard's hat and wields a magical staff. Beam Mage is also a very simplified variant of the moveset, only containing four offensive options. However, there is a special move known as 'Time Beam', which has three levels of charge and can build up an effect in the enemy. Once that effect is full, the enemy (and the timer) is frozen for an extended period of time, allowing Team Kirby to deal damage freely. Each time Team Kirby freezes time in a single battle, it becomes more difficult to do so again. Beam Mage Kirby can also revive a fallen teammate using theRevival Spell, but this costs a small amount ofhealth to perform (although this cannot outright KO Beam Mage Kirby).

Moveset[edit]

Beam Mage moveset
SkillButton ExecutionDescription
Beam Whip
B
The standard whip-like attack; Beam Mage swings his electric whip from high to low.
Time Beam
Press and hold B, and then release
After charging up, Beam Mage fires a ball of energy straight ahead. When it hits the enemy, in addition to dealing damage, it builds up a cumulative meter that freezes time when full.
This attack has three levels of charge, with longer charge times meaning larger beams that add more to the meter.
Cycle Beam
Dash + B
Beam Mage hits the brakes and fires his electric whip in a cone-shaped pattern forwards.
Beam Blast
Dash + B in midair
Beam Mage aims downwards and fires a series of energy blasts diagonally toward the ground. This is easily Beam Mage's nimblest attack, making it useful to take out enemies quickly.
Revival Spell
Y near fallen teammate
Beam Mage sacrifices a bit of his own health to revive a fallen teammate.

The amount of times a Time Beam attack is needed to freeze the enemy depends on how many times the enemy was successfully frozen and what type of enemy is being fought. If the target is an aerial foe, the attack will be 1.5x more effective.[1] The following lists show how many attacks will stop time:

For grounded enemies:

  • 1st stop - 4 fully charged attacks
  • 2nd stop - 4.5 fully charged attacks
  • 3rd stop - 6 fully charged attacks
  • 4th stop - 8 fully charged attacks
  • 5th stop - 10 fully charged attacks
  • 6th stop and so forth - 12 fully charged attacks

For airborne enemies:

  • 1st stop - 2.5 fully charged attacks
  • 2nd stop - 3 fully charged attacks
  • 3rd stop - 4 fully charged attacks
  • 4th stop - 4.5 fully charged attacks
  • 5th stop - 6 fully charged attacks
  • 6th stop and so forth - 8 fully charged attacks
