“'''Heir to Fire Throat, fire mage'''In his hometown of Agelta, he showed an amazing talent for arcane energy manipulation when he first arrived at the Magic Academy, so he was valued by his mentor [[Gord]]. But [[Gord]] got very angry when he discovered that he had incorporated the spells of his hometown into the arcane, thinking that he had defiled the arcane. After a battle between the master and the disciple, Valir left the Magic Academy.”

With Aurora using Coldness Destroy to freeze enemies, Valir can maximize his damage output.

Valir's Searing Torrent can completely restrain Pharsa's Feathered Air Strike, preventing her from maintaining sustained damage.

Because Valir lacks life-saving skills, it's hard for him to handle assassins with multi-stage dash skills.
