How to Use Wizard in Abyss of Dungeons Beginner Guide

Getting into Abyss of Dungeons can be overwhelming, especially if you’re looking to main the Wizard. The class is fun, high-skill, and punishing—but it can also be incredibly rewarding if played right. This guide breaks down everything you need to know as a beginner Wizard player, especially if you’re exploring solo or grinding hard mode in Abyss of Dungeons.

Why Wizard Is Harder to Play

The Wizard is a spellcaster that requires good positioning, timing, and resource management. Unlike more straightforward classes, Wizards rely on spells with cooldowns and willpower (mana) management, making gameplay feel more technical.

• Damage Output: Wizards don’t deliver burst damage like Rogues or Barbarians but can control fights with area spells and crowd control.

• Mobility: Movement is limited compared to Rogues, but certain spells can help with positioning.

• Survivability: Low in melee combat; Wizards must avoid close-range fights unless necessary.

If you’re looking for something tanky or easy, Wizard won’t be it. But if you enjoy a mechanical challenge, you’re in the right place.

Starter Wizard Build (Beginner-Friendly)

Since you’ll likely not have all passives unlocked yet, here’s a basic build to start off with:

Spells:

• Acceleration – Boosts movement speed, critical for survival and positioning.
• Magic Missile – Reliable ranged DPS, easy to land.
• Fireball – Great AOE damage, ideal for both mobs and creating space.
• Fire Breath – Short-range burst to finish enemies or interrupt chasers.

Passive Perk:

• Fire Mastery – Buffs your fire damage; it’s a good pick if you’re using Fireball and Fire Breath.

This basic setup is easy to get used to and strong enough to solo content in early-to-mid levels.

How to Survive as a Wizard

Wizards have no armor, little health, and no escape skills outside of movement boosts. To survive, you’ll need to:

1. Use Acceleration Smartly
   Always have this spell ready. It helps you reposition, chase down enemies, or escape after a bad trade. It’s one of the most important tools in your kit.
2. Create Space
   Fireball is excellent for forcing enemies back or zoning them out. Use it between you and melee enemies to stop them from closing the gap.
3. Master Bunny Hopping & Momentum
   Movement is half the battle. Learn to bunny hop and use terrain to your advantage. Good mobility can buy you time to cast spells or escape a tight fight.
4. Don’t Melee Unless You Have To
   Wizard’s melee is weak and should only be used if an enemy is one hit from dying. Never rely on it to win trades.

Willpower Management Tips

You’ll run into issues with Willpower quickly, especially in longer runs. Here’s what you can do:

• Stack Willpower recovery gear if possible.
• Use potions strategically—don’t waste them early on trash mobs.
• Avoid overcasting in fights; only use spells when needed.

You can build around Willpower later with better gear, but early on, it’s all about being smart with what you have.

When to Fight and When to Run

If you’re outnumbered or see a Rogue or Barb charging at you, don’t ego it. Wizards are not built for direct fights without setup:

• Solo fights: Doable with good spell rotation and movement.
• Multiple enemies: Use Fireball to split them or slow them down.
• Facing Rogues: Acceleration is key—they’re faster than you even when you boost, so try to bait them into traps or corners.

Wizard vs. Other Classes

• Barbarian: Outdamages you in melee. Never fight head-on.
• Rogue: Faster and burstier, but squishy. Burn them fast with Fireball/Magic Missile before they reach you.
• Cleric/Priest: Easier to manage, but don’t underestimate their sustain.

The main trick is spacing and control. You win fights by staying unpredictable and forcing them into bad positions.

Wizard in Abyss of Dungeons isn’t the easiest class, but it’s rewarding once you learn the mechanics. With the right build, smart Willpower management, and good movement, you can solo fights—even in Hell Mode. While other classes like Barbarian might dominate with brute strength, the Wizard tests your game sense and mechanical skill.

If you’re looking to switch things up and play something more strategic and technical, Wizard might just be the class for you. Keep practicing, stay mobile, and don’t forget—survival is always better than style. More advanced builds and gear setups coming in future guides. Stay tuned.
