Combos and how to play

Milio is a mage-support who enchants his allies: his abilities give the allies they hit bonus damage and a burn on their next attack. Warm Hugs gives a shield and speed (2 charges), Cozy Campfire heals and increases attack range, and his ultimate heals and removes crowd control.
