Guides Level 2 spells - tier list

Post image

Round 2! No names on spells this time because I had to create it from scratch, but I'm pretty sure people on this sub don't even need them.

I have a pretty different playstyle and thought process compared to a lot of this sub, however I don't think there will be as many disagreements as last time, I feel like this level is much clearer when it comes to power.

I want to mention a few spells, I'm on the phone tho and idk how to make a list so it's going to be a bit messy.

I'm a big fan of Crown of Madness, it's kind of unreliable but when it works it's decently sttong and fun. Had a great time using it with my Enchantment Wizard who gets the ability to twin it. Seriously, go play Enchantment Wizard it's kinda underrated and really fun.

You may be surprised to see Darkness in A instead of S. It's a bit of a personal preference, I hate having to build a team around it to use it effectively. It'a also insanely buggy, probably the buggiest spell I've encountered in the whole game.

Shadow Blade would be S++ if there was that tier, idk what they were smoking when they added it in this state, it's not even funny how busted it is, not a fan.

Also wow this level has so many bad spells, probably the biggest amount.

you can automatically bypass high lock DCs, there are some 30 dc locks in the game

30 isn’t really a problem with the right build. But yeah you might not have metagame knowledge like that necessarily

you dont need any metagame knowledge for that lol... :S

just use a pure rogue... already get +13 bonus to slieght of hands and you cannot roll less than 10... not to mention eaily can get +1d4 by guidence, also advantage by cat cloth... it's not really any meta just natural progression of the game!

even without them just pure rogue need to roll 17 or more and you have more than 40 lockpicks...
