Stepping into Wizard West can be an exciting challenge, especially once you realize you can duel other players to test your skills. If you’re ready to pit your spells against fellow wizards, this guide will show you how to enable PvP, pick useful spells, and survive those frantic battles.
Wizard West Duel Guide
1. Turning on PvP
- Unequip Your Wand: Press the key (usually R) to put your wand away.
- Activate PvP: Click the “PvP” button on your screen. This tells the game you’re ready to fight and also lets others attack you.
- Join the Action: Once PvP is on, you can duel friends or random players across the map.
Tip: Avoid entering PvP if you’re carrying valuable trinkets, because getting defeated will send you to jail and drop anything you haven’t sold.
2. Basic PvP Strategy
- Keep Moving: Use short dashes or flight (press F for broom) to avoid enemy spells.
- Aim Carefully: Spells like Expulso and Ignis require decent aim or timing, so practice often.
- Watch Your Health: Always have a healing spell (e.g., Episkio) ready. One good heal can turn a fight around.
- Manage Ammo/Spell Cooldowns: Notice how your wand’s basic attack reloads, and pick spells with quick cooldowns to stay on the offensive.
3. Recommended Spells for PvP
- Bombarda (Bombard): Big damage in a short burst. Useful when enemies cluster or aren’t moving much.
- Ignis: Deals fire damage over time. Great for “tagging” enemies who try to run.
- Proto: Blocks or deflects incoming spells, giving you defense in close-quarters fights.
- Lasso: Locks enemies in place (very strong, but often considered annoying by other players).
- Episkio (Heal): Keeps you alive longer. Perfect for trading blows in close fights.
If you can’t afford powerful spells yet, focus on Bombarda first since it’s relatively affordable and hits hard.
4. Bounties & Jail Time
- Earning a Bounty: Attacking players often marks you as “wanted,” which means others can see you on the map.
- Getting Locked Up: Losing a PvP battle sends you to jail for up to 20 seconds. Afterwards, you’ll respawn without your previously held trinkets.
- Safe Selling: Sell trinkets in green-marked zones before turning on PvP. Otherwise, you risk losing loot you worked hard to collect.
5. Extra Tips
- Practice on NPCs First: Gain confidence by battling bandits and other AI enemies at red exclamation points.
- Team Up: Sometimes fighting alongside friends helps, but watch out—friendly fire can still happen.
- Customize Your Loadout: Find spells that suit your style. Some players prefer long-range damage; others rely on shields and close-quarters combos.
- Keep an Eye on Scrolls: You’ll earn scrolls from PvP kills, which you can use to roll new wands.
In Wizard West, PvP battles add a thrilling layer of competition to your magical journey. By selecting strong spells, practicing good movement, and paying attention to bounties, you’ll soon master the art of wizard dueling. Good luck out there, and may your spells always hit their mark!
