Wizard is the premier ranged magic class with the highest Knowledge base stat in the game and strong innate spell casting speed. Knowledge, Will, and Magical Power are the three core stats, with Knowledge expanding your spell memory capacity, and Will and Magical Power directly scaling your spell damage. Spells like Fireball, Chain Lightning, and Magic Missile deal heavy damage from a distance. Wizard's high memory capacity lets it memorize more spells per run than any other class, though its low health and physical stats demand careful positioning.

Wizard has access to 3 active skills and 2 spell memory pages. Like all spellcasting classes, each spell page takes up a skill slot, so you are always trading active skill options for more spell capacity. Arcane Shield (25s) conjures a 15-base shield for 12 seconds that explodes for 5 Arcane magical damage in a 2-meter radius if it fully absorbs incoming damage, giving Wizard a rare defensive cooldown. Intense Focus (18s) reduces the cast time of your next spell to 0.1 seconds, effectively letting you fire off a big spell instantly. Offensive players love pairing this with high-cast-time spells like Fireball or Chain Lightning to eliminate targets before they can react. Meditation (45s) channels a recovery over 24 seconds that restores 34 spell cost every 0.75 seconds, letting you refill your entire spell pool mid-dungeon. The tradeoff is that you are completely vulnerable during the channel. A common build takes Meditation alongside a spell memory page so you can quickly get your spells back after burning through them, while pure offensive builds skip Meditation entirely and take Intense Focus plus two spell pages to maximize burst potential.

Wizard has 13 spells available across all tiers. Light Orb (Tier 1) illuminates dark areas and has no combat use on its own. Zap (Tier 1) is a quick Light damage projectile with decent scaling. Ice Bolt (Tier 2) is a hard-hitting Ice projectile. Ignite (Tier 2) applies a Fire damage over time DoT on hit. Slow (Tier 2) reduces the target's movement speed. Magic Lock (Tier 2) locks doors and chests, useful for controlling map flow or trapping enemies. Haste (Tier 3) buffs your move speed, action speed, and spell cast speed for 6 seconds. Magic Missile (Tier 3) fires 10 Arcane projectiles in rapid succession, each dealing damage independently. Fireball (Tier 4) is a large Fire projectile that explodes on impact for heavy AoE damage. Invisibility (Tier 4) turns you invisible, giving Wizard a rare escape tool. Lightning Strike (Tier 4) is a powerful Lightning projectile with strong single-target damage. Explosion (Tier 5) is a Fire burst with solid AoE damage. Chain Lightning (Tier 6) is the highest-tier spell, dealing Lightning damage that bounces between multiple targets for massive total output.

Wizard's starting stats are: Strength 6, Vigor 7, Agility 15, Dexterity 17, Will 20, Knowledge 25, Resourcefulness 15. The class excels in Knowledge and Will (25 and 20 base respectively), with lower values in Strength and Vigor.

Will and Magical Power are the core damage stats for Wizard, directly scaling how hard your spells hit. Knowledge increases your spell memory capacity so you can memorize more spells per run and may also affect spell casting speed. Stack Will and Magical Power on your gear for maximum damage output, and use Knowledge to fill in remaining slots for extra spell charges. A Wizard with high Will, Magical Power, and strong spell selection can one-shot or two-shot most enemies with Fireball or Chain Lightning from a safe distance.

Wizard is a high-risk, high-reward solo class. Your damage output is among the highest in the game, and spells like Fireball and Chain Lightning can delete enemies before they become a real threat. The downside is that Wizard has very low health and physical defense, so getting caught in melee or taking a big hit can end a run quickly. Invisibility gives you an escape option when things go wrong. Prioritize positioning, stay behind corners, and never let enemies get close.
