Magicka Wizard

After months and more months of development, Magicka Wizard is finally ready to battle.

Wizard, as the name implies, is a Wizard, so his Normal moves aren't really that strong, he mainly attacks using his Not so Sharp Sword and his Vanilla Staff, but he has more tricks up his really large sleeve.

Now a "little" explanation as how his Spell works, if you want you can also check out this "Tutorial" in-game, just hold Down + Taunt for 3 seconds while playing as Wizard.

Wizard's Forward and Down Special shoot out magic in front or around himself, respectively, if he has nothing on Deck, Wizard will simply shoot out Gusts of Wind.

With Wizard's Neutral Special, he summons a Spell Wheel, with it he can select from 8 different Elements, after choosing an Element, it will be in Wizard's HUD, aka, Wizard's Deck.
You can have a maximum of 3 Elements on Deck, however some elements can't exist in the presence of others. Let's see each of them in detail:

- Death: F: Shoots out a Beam Forward, it only deals Knockback when the Opponent isn't in hitstun, so time your move right.
D: Creates a Wave around Wizard
Raises Damage overall
Cancels out Life

- Fire: Shoots Fire in front or around Wizard.
Causes the Burn Status
Cancels out Cold

- Cold: Shoots Cold Air in front or around Wizard
Causes the Chill Status
Cancels out Fire

- Rock: F: Shoots a Bouncing Projectile Forward, if you Hold it it shoots a faster and stronger Projectile
D: Shakes the Ground beneath Wizard
Cancels out Lighting

- Shield: F: Creates a Elemental Shield in front of Wizard, this Shield blocks Projectiles
D: Creates a passive Aura around Wizard, which lasts for 10 seconds and protects him from Projectiles
Cancels out itself

- Water: Shoots a Spray of Water in front or around Wizard
Doesn't deal damage, but Pushes opponents
Causes the Wet Status
Cancels out Lighting

- Lighting: Shoots Lighting in front or around Wizard
Can Stun Wet opponents
Cancels out Rock and Water

- Life: F: Shoots a Healing Beam in front of Wizard, if the opponent parries it, they will get stun instead
D: Casts Life in Wizard it self, so it Heals his wounds

In addition, there are also 3 Sub-Elements, which you can get by combining some specific spells, they are:
- Ice (Water + Cold): F: Shoots out a Icicle forward, if you Hold it, it shoots out 3 instead
D: Brings icicles from underneath Wizard
Cancels out Fire and Steam

-Steam (Water + Fire): Shoots a Spray of Steam in front or around Wizard
Causes the Wet Status
Cancels out Cold and Ice

- Poison (Water + Death: Shoots a cloud of Poison in front of around Wizard
Causes the Poison Status
Cancels out Life

Like you saw, some elements can cause different Status Effects, they are:
- Burn: Similar to Zetterburn's, it makes the opponent Burn, thus dealing damage overtime. The Burn status invalidates Chill and Wet
- Chill: It makes the Opponent Floatier, thus being easier to Combo, but they can also be Frozen by using Water
- Wet: The opponent can be Frozen with Cold Spells our Stunned with Lighting Spells
- Poison: Similar to Ranno's, the opponent takes damage if they whiff out a move
A Chill or Wet opponent can stop the Effect by attacking Wizard 3 times, or being hit 5 times.

Blade Enchantments:
When Wizard has any Element on Deck, if he presses the Taunt Button, he will imbue his Blade with those Elements, and then he can Swing the Sword once before getting back to normal. Unless you enchant the Blade with more of the same Element (For example, a Blade with 1x Fire can cast the effect for 1 swing, but if you enchant with 3x Fire, then you can have the effect for 3 Swings). Remember to check out the Sword in the HUD for guidance. Each Element also have different priorities, they are:

Death: More Damage
Fire: Burn Effect
Cold: Chill Effect
Rock: More Knockback Growth (Fair and DTilt Spike)
Shield: Armor throughout the Attack
Water: Wet Effect and more Base Knockback
Lighting: Faster Attacks and Stun Wet Opponents
Life: Heals Opponent (if they Parried they will be stunned)
Ice: More Range
Steam: Wet Effect
Poison: Poison Effect

Special Shield Spells:
With Shield + Death or Life, Wizard shoots a Exploding Mine in front of him.
And with Shield + Rock, he summons a big and solid Block
His Life Mines are better for Combos, since they have base knockback, and Death Mines are better for taking Stocks

When casting Shield on yourself, the Effect lasts for 10 seconds, unless you use a Double Element, that way it lasts for 15 seconds (keep an eye on the little bar on Wizard's HUD), the Shield Timer can also be drained by taking Hit or getting Parried. They also have different effects depending of which Element you use, they are:

Normal Shield: While the Neutral Special is Active, Wizard will be invincible to Projectiles
Death: Takes 25% Less Damage
Fire: Immune to the Burn Status
Cold: Immune to the Cold Status
Rock: Makes Wizard Heavier
Water: Immune to the Wet Status
Lighting: A successful Parry deals Knockback
Life: A successful Parry Heals Wizard
Ice: A constant Hitbox in Wizard's Body
Steam: A successful Parry causes the Wet Status
Poison: Immune to the Poison Status
Obs: Both Rock and Ice Self Shields changes how your Dash Attack works

Magicka Spells: If you input certain Elements in a certain order, you can than cast powerful Magicka Attacks by Pressing Attack + Special at the same time, however it takes some time to cast the move.
If you need help remembering the Spell Combinations, just press Down + Taunt to cycle through them in-game
There are 5 Magickas in total, they are:

- Haste (Lighting + Death + Fire):
It makes Wizard much faster for 10 Seconds, however his Up Special still has the same range, so watch out when going Off-stage

- Meteorite (Fire + Steam + Rock):
Summons a Giant Meteor that comes crashing down diagonally, it can harm everyone, including Wizard him self

- Frostnado (Ice + Life + Cold):
Summons a Giant Ice Tornado that travels forward, Freezing everything in it's patch, including Wizard too

- Thunder Bolt (Shield + Poison + Lighting):
Summons a Dark Cloud above Wizard, it anyone passes under the Cloud, it activates it, thus bringing down a powerful Lighting Strike, which once again can harm Wizard

- Summon Death (Poison + Ice + Death)
Spawns the Grim Reaper at the center of the Stage, after 5 seconds of Tauting the players, Death brings his Scythe down, instantly killing anyone who gets hit by it, and again, it includes Wizard.

That's pretty much everything you need to know to about Wizard to really take advantage of all of his tools.
