Unlock the Flame: Top Skills for the Ultimate Fire Wizard Build in Avowed!

As a passionate gamer, I can’t help but be captivated by the swift appeal of Obsidian’s game, Avowed. Its versatility and engaging combat mechanics have certainly piqued the interest of many gamers like myself. And let me tell you, when it comes to Wizard builds, this game truly shines! It offers an irresistible allure for those who relish in unleashing a barrage of elemental spells against unsuspecting enemies.

In heated battles within your fantasy game, fire spells can offer a thrilling and potent advantage. They cover a broad battlefield, dealing significant continuous damage (and incidentally, they’re great for clearing annoying spider webs as well). For those eager to master the art of pyro-wizardry, here are some key skills to hone your craft. Many originate from the Wizard Tree, but don’t overlook a few supportive abilities from the Ranger and Fighter trees as well.

11. Tanglefoot

Ranger Ability Tree – Level One (Rank One)

Developing a potent fire mage doesn’t always require focusing all abilities solely on fire-based spells or the Wizard Ability Tree. A balanced Wizard character, with complementary skills, involves exploring other areas as well, at least to some extent, to boost the effectiveness of your fire spells.

One beneficial option is Tanglefoot, which is particularly effective when Marius’ Binding Roots aren’t being used. This move causes enemies within its range to become rooted, providing the more vulnerable Wizard with a protective area and a single spot to attack multiple targets simultaneously. Over time, these grouped targets can be set ablaze.

10. Constant Recovery

Fighter Ability Tree – Level One (Rank Two)

As a powerful Wizard, you often need to make sacrifices in health points (HP) and defense. Therefore, it’s a smart move to assign two or three skills to the Ranger and/or Fighter skill trees early to mid-game. This passive ability facilitates a gradual but reliable HP regeneration, which could be crucial for survival during extended periods.

Having Tanglefoot at the ready, together with one or more provoking companions, provides a Wizard with freedom to launch numerous potent fire spells from a secure distance while recovering lost health. If Constant Recovery is leveled up, players can restore a significant portion of any HP lost in battle.

9. Wand Mastery

Wizard Ability Tree – Level Five Required (Rank Two)

Consider keeping an alternative magic projectile on standby, since it can be beneficial to switch things up after repeatedly casting fire spells over a long duration.

In addition to enhancing fire spells with wands, they also offer a balanced alternative to melee weapons in the game Avowed, even for mages who primarily use fire magic. Players might want to consider increasing the rank of this passive skill, which boosts wand damage by approximately 40%.

8. Arcane Veil

Wizard Ability Tree – Level One (Rank One)

Arcane Veil could be beneficial for individuals who prefer to avoid the Ranger Tree, or for those seeking an extra layer of protection in defense and evasion with Tanglefoot. This spell provides a temporary shield lasting for 20 seconds instead of just eight seconds of impediment that Tanglefoot offers to enemies.

In the heat of intense combat, it proves more advantageous since it provides shielding (and allows brief continuation of spell-casting) when numerous enemies are around. Players would be wise to choose the front line with this option.

7. Grimoire Mastery

Wizard Ability Tree – Level Five (Rank Two)

Regardless of using distinct spells or wands as a fire-loving sorcerer, it’s wise to acquire some basic knowledge in Grimoires. These books provide convenient access to numerous spells and also amplify the speed and potency of the spells you’ve already mastered within your skill set.

To put it simply, as a fan, I’d say that to activate this special ability, players need to unlock the identical skill found in the Grimoire. For example, if a player is using Fan of Flames from the Grimoire and has already achieved rank 2 upgrade for the same ability in the Wizard Tree, the Fan of Flames from the Grimoire will release a more powerful “rank 3” version instead.

This translates to a longer casting time, increased power, faster casting speed, and reduced Essence requirements. To fully enjoy these improvements in your fire spells (excluding Meteor Shower), players should at least progress and upgrade their Grimoire Mastery to level two.

6. Scion Of Flame

Wizard Ability Tree – Level 15 (Rank Three)

Without a doubt, among the options given, players might prefer to choose the Scion of Flame passive, aiming to fully upgrade it once they reach level 20.

Increasing the Fire Accumulation per attack by 45% over time significantly increases the frequency at which enemies catch fire, leading to increased damage-over-time.

5. Ring Of Fire

Wizard Ability Tree – Level Ten (Rank Three)

For fire-focused mages, it’s beneficial to collect all four active fire spells not only for the added diversity but also for faster casting. Just as suggested by its title, Ring of Fire conjures a ring of flames encircling the player, serving both as an offensive and defensive tool.

The extensive coverage of harm and defense is beneficial when confronted by numerous lesser opponents, but it might not be as practical against fewer quicker or larger adversaries.

4. Harvest Essence

Wizard Ability Tree – Level Ten (Rank Two)

In the game of Avowed, Harvest Essence is indispensable for most Wizards, especially during the mid-game. This passive ability proves particularly useful when conjuring powerful spells. Players might notice their Essence depleting swiftly and frequently, with scarcity in food resources (and even fewer healing potions) to replenish it.

When reaching the second or third level, players will notice that these items become less essential as they collect Essence fragments from vanquished enemies. However, it’s important to occasionally use a melee weapon, firearm, or bow to compensate and ensure you gather enough fragments without depleting too much Essence.

3. Fan Of Flames

Wizard Ability Tree – Level One (Rank Three)

Though it may not be the most aesthetically pleasing, Fan Of Flames is highly effective in swiftly and efficiently depleting the Health Points (HP) of multiple targets simultaneously.

When organized and utilizing a Grimoire, this move functions as an swift, minimal-effort spell that effectively thins out groups of moderately weak, corporeal enemies, offering you an enjoyable battle experience. Gather a horde of such opponents and enjoy yourself!

2. Fireball

Wizard Ability Tree – Level Five (Rank Three)

Fireball, being an intensely powerful flame spell, covers a vast expanse and inflicts significant damage. It’s a go-to option for many magic-wielding pyromancers who seek to capitalize on its destructive potential.

This action isn’t just potent and efficient, occupying a considerable area; it additionally leaves trailing fires that facilitate enhanced Flame Amassing and kindling. It proves to be an excellent choice for tough opponents and stronger adversaries.

1. Meteor Shower

Wizard Ability Tree – Level 20 (Rank Three)

A Meteor Shower stands out as the peak expression of fiery abilities. Although it requires numerous skill levels to obtain, the payoff—in terms of both time and energy spent—is particularly valuable for magicians specializing in fire-related stresses.

It summons a shower of flaming meteorites that inflict heavy damage and increase the fire buildup on those within its area. This ability becomes more powerful as you level it up – the cost to use it decreases, and the meteorites explode upon hitting, spreading the devastation of the firestorm even further.
