It is not always easy to understand and assimilate all the intricacies of a class during our first struggles with it. This short guide will introduce you to the different skills of the Wizard / Sorcerer at his beginnings (from level 1 to 10) and how to use them. This class requires a little more effort because its spells grant bonuses for you and penalties for the target if you respect your cycle.
Spells and their use
You will find below the spells in spanish and English.
gameplay
The goal is like any self-respecting damage class, to do as much harm as possible! We will therefore be careful to keep improvements on us.
At the beginning you will have access to Light Blast, Flameburst / Flame Burst et Ice Fang / Ice Fang.
Start by Light Blast is not bad, it reduces your casting time, but 5% is not very fun either.
We come to Flameburst / Flame Burst, by using it you gain the Inner Fire / Inner Flame effect which increases your magic attack by 4%.
Ice fang / Ice fang meanwhile, will grant you Still Water which will increase your magic critical rate by 4%. It's up to you to see what you prefer between fire and ice!
You will then get Ember Bomb et Bomble Glaciale/Frost Bomb. These two spells charge in 3 phases, be sure to do this to maximize their effectiveness.
Each will grant you their respective effect (inner fire or still water) and inflict Braises Incandescentes/Burning Embers for the first and Cold snap / Chill for the second. These effects deal additional damage to the target.
It will then be necessary to do:
- Ember Bomb to benefit from Incandescent Embers / Burning Embers
- Flameburst / Flame Burst which thanks to the penalty applied to the target will inflict 200% damage and have a 30% chance of knocking down the target.
- You can then chain Flameburst / Flame Burst 2 times, which will cause you to cast it 3 times and thus maximize the Flaming / Ablaze effect on the enemy.
We can then go to the ice cycle:
- Ice Fang / Ice Fang because if the target is affected by Burning Embers / Incandescent Embers, it will take 300% more damage, be knocked down, and your spell will be cast instantly.
- Bomble Glaciale/Frost Bomb to drop Chill / Chill on the target,
- You can then chain Bomble Glaciale/Frost Bomb 4 times which means that you will have cast it 5 times in all and thus accumulate the negative effect on the target.
Then we start again, if you enemy and frozen, you can start with a Flameburst / Flame Burst in order to deal 300% damage with a 50% chance to knock him down.
Finally when you get Torrent de feu / Flame Barrage and Glacial Deluge / Ice Barrage, you can chain it with Ember Bomb for the fire cycle and Glacial Bomb / Frost Bomb for the ice cycle. Just hold down the R key to charge the spell and cast it.
You can easily defeat your enemies just by doing Ember Bomb Track Torrent of Fire / Flame Barrage, this combination when the spells are fully charged really hurts!
Last spell for your level 10: Dark Affliction. The description speaks for itself, this spell restores life and mana to you at the expense of your magic attack and cast time.
You now have a good foundation to start your Sorcerer career on Riders of Icarus! Do not hesitate to send us your suggestions and comments to refine this little guide for beginners.
