More about this game

In World War Wizard, your goal is to survive 60-second rounds against an ever-growing horde of skeletons. You drag to move your wizard around the arena, while your magic missiles automatically seek out the nearest enemy. After clearing a round, you choose an upgrade like faster walking, quicker reloads, or extra missiles. The difficulty ramps up with faster enemies and boss encounters. The run ends when your wizard loses all their hearts.

Tips
  • Prioritize dodging over chasing enemies; your missiles will automatically seek the nearest skeleton. Keep your distance to avoid getting cornered by the growing horde.
  • Grab the Magic Wand buff to double your missile count, or the Spell Book to double your cast speed for 10 seconds. These are crucial for clearing out dense crowds.
  • If you take damage, you have 1.15 seconds of invulnerability. Use this brief window to reposition yourself away from the horde and find a safer spot in the arena.
Questions

How do I heal my wizard?

You can heal by picking up a Red Potion during a round, which restores you to full health, or by choosing the Heart Vessel upgrade between rounds to gain a max heart and refill one.

What does the Dye Robes upgrade do?

It changes your wizard's robe color randomly to red, green, or blue, and permanently unlocks an extra power-up that spawns when there are 15 seconds left in a round.

When do bosses appear in the game?

A boss, known as the Bone Lord, spawns on even-numbered rounds. Bosses have significantly more health, move slightly slower, and are immune to the knockback effect from your magic missiles.
