Best Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty spells

Want to learn the best Wo Long spells? You may be thinking that a magic-user build is ideal for defeating foes quickly, much as it is in the Dark Souls games. However, there are a few more restrictions on how one casts spells in the latest game from the folks who brought you Nioh and its sequel.

Despite some rather hefty requirements, casting Wo Long spells isn’t as easy as learning them via their elemental phases from the Wizardry Spells shop. You must also consider your current morale and how much territory you have 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 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 incantation that gives you a low-cost way to heal yourself for a short time, while rewarding you for being hyper-aggressive. So long as you’re not about to die, in which case it’s better to use the Dragon Cure pot to recover health, you can simply cast this to heal a small amount of health. Better still, 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, and they’ll receive the same benefits.

Amplify Damage from the Fire spell list works in the same 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 how Wo Long bosses work. 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. We currently don’t have the second mission unlocked yet, but will update you with the requirements as we find them.

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.
