Wizardry Spells in Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty are unlocked buffs or attacks tied to the five Elemental Phase paths, with some being best for players to unlock first as they embark on the story’s beginning missions. These unique pieces of magic can be unlocked when players upgrade their Morale Rank and Virtue Values tied to their preferred Phase at Battle Flags. Many of these spells have prerequisites tied to the player’s attributes and vary in effectiveness depending on a character’s build.

Players are able to equip four enchantments at once for combat, giving them plenty of opportunities to have a balanced set of magic for different purposes. For example, players that use a large, slower weapon in Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty‘s early game may want to have a spell that boosts their defense from the Earth Phase. When resting at a Battle Flag, players should check their Morale and Virtue to see what spells they have access to in the five Phases, which are named Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, and Metal.

Unlocking the Best Spells Early in Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty

One fact players should remember before selecting a spell to unlock through their level-up is how much negative Spirit build-up that magic costs. The Spirit Gauge determines the player’s ability to be staggered in combat by even the most common enemy, leading to huge damage if they aren’t careful.

Although being aggressive does potentially build positive Spirit, highly expensive spells are certainly risky ways to drag the Gauge in the opposite direction, even if players are close to one of Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty‘s Flag locations within the story.
