First check

Which wave or approach makes Illuminate valuable, and who needs Chakra Magic for the next play?

On your team

Play as Keeper of the Light

  1. Channel Illuminate from a position enemies cannot easily reach, with the wave and likely hero route aligned.
  2. Give Chakra Magic to an ally whose next spell changes the lane or fight, and tell them when it is available.
  3. After clearing a wave, move with the ally using that space instead of remaining alone at the same casting spot.
On the enemy team

Play against Keeper of the Light

  1. Leave the Illuminate line early and approach from a different angle rather than waiting on the same narrow route.
  2. Track which ally receives Chakra Magic, then expect that hero to make another spell-based play soon.
  3. Pressure Keeper of the Light during a channel or after a wave clear, when his visible position is easiest to reach.
