Wizard[DCCWI]

Master the Dragon's Crown Wizard with our comprehensive guide to skills, including Concentrate, Extract, Mental Absorb, Spirit Up, Fire Ward, Blaze, Storm, Flame Burst, and Thunderbolt.

The Wizard in Dragon's Crown excels with powerful spells like Slow and Extinct. Slow is effective against bosses, while Extinct is useful for handling tough non-boss enemies in Labyrinth of Chaos (LoC). The primary drawback is the Wizard's reliance on mana for attacks and evasion, which can be replenished through manual recharging, square attacks, or the Mental Absorb skill. Downtime spent charging mana can lead to low damage output.

Summary:

• Pros: Slow spell, Extinct spell, High fire damage
• Cons: Reliance on mana

Natural Skills:

Mana is consumed for rod attacks and ground evasion. Mana can be recharged manually by holding square, by attacking enemies with square, or by killing enemies after acquiring the Mental Absorb skill.

Skills:

Concentrate (Supplemental Skill)
Increases manual mana charge speed. This is a must-max skill due to constant mana charging.

• Rank 10 (5 SP, 12 total supplemental skills): MP Charge Speed +50%

Extract (Supplemental Skill)
Increases mana recovered per hit with the square attack. While it recovers a decent amount at max rank, manual charging is often safer and recovers at a similar rate.
