Battle Spell
Flicker is best for Marcel because it lets him initiate fights, reposition instantly, and combo with his charge to lock down enemies, while also providing an escape option to survive risky dives, maximizing both his aggression and safety.
Mid game
Marcel's dominant phase is the mi game. This is when he has enough levels and items to roam effectively, initiate fights, and control enemies with his skills and Flicker combo. Early game he's weaker and focused on support, and late game he's more of a frontline initiator and protector
