Best Wo Long Fallen Dynasty Spells

Despite some rather hefty requirements, casting Wo Long spells isn’t as easy as learning them via their elemental phases from the Wizardry Spells menu. You must also consider your current morale and how much territory you’ve captured in each level. After all, some spells in the RPG game would just be overpowered if you could hurl, say, a massive fireball across the map to knock an enemy off the top of a tower, or obliterate one of the many Wo Long bosses in one go. It adds an extra bit of challenge, so we’ll go through which of the many spells you can learn in Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty.

Best Wo Long spells

Since you can only equip four spells at a time, we figure it’s best to give you the best Wo Long build that will see you through the bulk of the game.
Here are the best Wo Long spells:

Absorb Vitality Amplify Damage Rock Toughness Repressing Crush

This Wo Long build needs a morale level of seven to come fully online, but its first spell, Absorb Vitality, is active from the get-go. It’s a Wood phase life-steal spell that provides a low-cost way to heal for a short time, while rewarding you for being hyper-aggressive. The more damage you inflict upon an enemy, the more health you’ll receive, so as long as you’re not about to die, you can simply cast this and go on the offensive. Better still, the amount it heals is proportionate to the damage dealt, so if you cast it just before striking a foe whose poise just broke, you’ll heal almost half your health when you land that damaging blow. It’s best to cast it next to your Wo Long companions, since they’ll receive the same benefits. This spell is great for a quick health top-up, but it’s no real substitute for your Dragon’s Cure Pot, so be sure to upgrade it by visiting every Wo Long Dragon Vein Crystal and Essence location in the action-adventure game.
Amplify Damage from the Fire spell list works in the same basic way as the Absorb Vitality spell, but it increases the damage you and any nearby allies deal to the enemy. For builds that need that extra oomph, this spell can mean the difference between life and death.
Rock Toughness from the Earth spell phase is fantastic for learning boss movesets and surviving. You can cast it to reduce any spirit-based damage you receive from opponents while also protecting your morale ranking from decreasing should they land a critical blow. It is costly to your spirit bar, however, so play on the defensive as soon as you cast it.
Finally, there is Repressing Crush from the Metal spells list. Since exploiting an enemy’s drained spirit gauge is the key to winning most fights, inflicting this spell’s ailment onto a particularly tough foe will make it easier for you to break their poise, granting you the ability to hit them for a huge chunk of their life total.

How to unlock high-level Wo Long spells

Not all of the Wo Long spells are open to you initially, as you need “Domination” over Wizardry Spells Mastery and one other mission. This essentially means you need to complete the Trial of Wizardry Spells Mastery and a second specifically named training level. You unlock Wizardry Spells Mastery after slaying the Aoye in part three and The Scarlet Crystal after defeating Liu Bei in part six.
To access the Trial of Wizardry Spells Mastery, go to the travel menu at any major flag stand and scroll to the Other tab. This mission has you fight waves of monsters, ranging from zombies and ogres to magic birds and alligator-like demons. Once you’ve slain them all, you’ll unlock the ability to learn any spell in all five phases that previously required the Dominance of Wizardy Spell Mastery unlock condition. The Scarlet Crystal only requires that you defeat Hong Jing in combat.
