Class Information
Purchase for 15,000 XP
The Wizard spawns with wooden tools, a Wand, and a Spellbook.
- Use the Spellbook, or left-click with the wand, to choose from one of five spells (listed below) and use the wand with a right-click to cast them.
- Spells are instantaneous when cast.
- Each spell has a 15 second global cooldown, preventing the Wizard from casting other spells for 15 seconds.
Spells
- Inferno - 50 seconds - 2-Block Radius - Sets enemies on fire for 5 seconds. Also places a fire block at their feet.
- Void Bolt - 50 seconds - 2-Block Radius - Inflicts enemies with Wither for 6 seconds.
- Arcane Bolt - 30 seconds - 2-Block Radius - Deals 7 () AOE damage to enemies. (Reduced by armor)
- Glacial Nova - 35 seconds - 4-Block Radius - Inflicts enemies with Slowness III and Mining Fatigue I for 7 seconds.
- Whirlwind - 25 seconds - 6-Block Radius - Throws enemies away from impact using knockback. Will also throw the Wizard and grant all knocked back no fall damage for 5 seconds on usage.
Void Bolt vs. Inferno
- Void Bolt's wither deals 1 damage every 2 seconds, whereas Inferno's fire deals 1 damage every second. Wither should deal 3 () damage before ending, and fire should deal 5 () damage.
- Inferno is arguably the best, as long as the enemy is not near water/doesn't have fire resistance. Void Bolt cannot be resisted, and is best if fire won't work.
Pros
- Great selection of spells for varying situations.
- Able to fall from seemingly impossibly high places without any damage.
- Spells are instant, so it's very easy to combo someone.
Cons
- Long global cooldowns.
Tips & Tactics
- Use whirlwind on enemies near the void or on a skybridge.
- All spells are Area of Effect. The Inferno spell can set multiple enemies on fire, while Glacial Nova can slow an entire group.
- The Arcane Bolt spell (and only Arcane Bolt) counts as if you struck the enemy yourself, so if it kills a player, you are rewarded with the kill.
- Cast whirlwind underneath you as you jump to launch yourself to your target.
