My Best Wizard Build in The New Grounded Update | How to Do More Damage as a Wizard in Grounded

[@jaymelo2412]

Fresh staff is great for ladybird larva, fire ants, mosquitos/tiger mosquitos, bombardier beetles, infected creatures, it's pretty good imo

[@randyquaid3381]

Yeah all the staffs are awesome

[@GarbajeCan]

Is it better than the mint Mallet?

[@redactedusernameconfirmed]

​@GarbajeCan possibly, I think it's depends on how fast they attack (so I'd say yes ladybird larva because it slows them so you can kill them faster)

[@Melayan]

They need to allow you to use a shield and other off hand items with the staffs

[@cbiser12]

100% agree. They're designed and used one handed anyway. Tbh, they should make the staves 2 handed and release wands that are weaker but can be used with a shield or something. Maybe the wands could have faster attack speed too or maybe different versions of the spells for different uses.

[@beewithteeth3467]

Another good build is spider armor or widow armor with the mask of the mother demon for the venom damage so you do constant damage while you regain your stamina because the staffs take so much stamina

[@icecube338]

Club of the mother demon can be used with apex predator for big poison damage

[@boorochester460]

Ive been using moth armor with mask of the mother demon for bleed/poison and then whittle wizard for burn damage on the staff. Gives big Damage over Time

[@joonyah8904]

Parry master, compliance badge, sleek wizards hat. Try that out for some perks and accessories. Perfect blocks are almost guaranteed, they heal you, AND they increase staff damage

[@orion1204]

Solid rec!

[@FaTalErrQr]

I would have liked to see you fight a black widow or something with the build to show it’s true potential.

[@avocalvo]

I run mask of mother demon, moth chest, widow legs, lots of DOT with stamina regen

[@kevinsims5791]

They should make a salty staff since thats the last weapon modifier in the game.

[@BABY_CORN2654]

I just got the sour staff and I found this bug where all these fire ants get stuck on this small island area in front of the under shed entrance and killing em all with the charge up shock was so satisfying I got 45 fire abt parts and 7 fire ant heads

[@kevinsims5791]

I want to try the fresh staff with the termite armor. The slow from the staff plus the slow from the dust cloud effect seems like it would be great in melee combat especially when facing more than 1 creature.

[@hellraisers_yt3582]

Personally I prefer the moth armor with the wizard hat for the stamina refund chance the the bleed chance

[@Lostmasteraced]

Would this be the go to build for someone who doesn’t wanna fight the brood mother but wants to do an absurd amount of damage?

[@juanalvarez2385]

Hi! Does magic deals critical damage? Is it worth to activate the critical chance passive?

[@darkstepshadow]

Another good way to do this is wizard hat with 2 piece moth for the bleed and stamina return on ranged attack.

[@SirSim-Alot]

That is a great point. The bleed damage for damage over time would be good.

[@RavenQuilll]

yeah i was thinking moth would be great for mage. kind of a pain to get moth set tho..have only found 1 moth so far :D

[@littlelobster75]

@@RavenQuilll There is one moth on top of the gree goo on the moldorc casle and one on top of the side of the tree stump in the upper yard

[@jasoncalibjo4646]

You need to enhance the equipment's to SLEEK in order to have "Quicker Charge Time".

[@joshuadayton6734]

Would you know why there is no salt staff

[@Melayan]

The unlock is for candy staffs, so I don't think there will be a salt one. I'd love it if there was one though

[@evanvancamp2781]

Is a charge attack the whole wind up or can you cut the animation in half and still deel the same amount of damage? Also cab you combo charge attacks?

[@Poisedturtle]

The whole charge and no you can't combo them

[@evanvancamp2781]

@@Poisedturtle thanks I've been struggling to make builds for my friends and I. And knowing that now helps alot. Have a great day!

[@AntiCx_edits]

did they change ox armor passives cos they show diff buffs now

[@KinderzeitTV]

Love your videos. Straight to the point and informational. Just like it should be :)

[@alexdaburrito1711]

My build is to do everything stamina because if you block right after you shoot then shoot then block then shoot so you get machine gun spicy/sour staff but it will take alot of stamina

[@icecube338]

Pls do try a corrosive build, with fire ant armour, fire ant shield and the rusty spear(with javelin). I bet it shreds enemies with high health. Also maybe mid fight one can change to the fire ant club for more damage due to reduced defence?

[@nornornornor9204]

Have you tried it out?

[@kevinsims5791]

Thats what im currently trying at the moment. I havnt gotn far enough to get the sleek upgrade yet cause i dont have an oven. The acid shot from the fire ant armor complete set does 25 damage and each piece with the sleek bonus increases acid damage by 10% so a full set increases to 30%.

[@carlossaucedo513]

Personally I prefer the moth armor over the black ox for the stamina staff refund

[@darrellsaewhat50]

I like both so the ox chest piece and moth leggings with wizard hat

[@jeddediajohnson9179]

They should add a poison web staff or a Toxic mold staff.

[@SirSim-Alot]

Agreed. And a salt staff that does the ground attack for the mantis

[@brandonenke2680]

I think a lighting staff would be more fitting and alot cooler

[@zeyrox28]

what are the mutations?

[@alexthegod2]

what is needed to repair a sour staff above level 5? Is it repair glue?

[@SirSim-Alot]

i do believe so yes

[@MrXXXRyanoceros]

Now would this be better than the moth armor for the bleed?

[@SlimChedda]

Hi Sim, I’m currently play multiplayers with my 3 other friends on medium. They all have close range build, if I want to use staff will my attacks hurt my teammates?

[@steelfox9061]

Yes, and they hurt a lot. My friends and I have found that ice on a close range is good for CC, fire with a full charge is a good fight starter and with practice can be used with out hitting teammates, finally sour is hard to use do to the bounce and full charged shots can take players down if they pass to close so but it is really good at stunting flyers back to the ground if you can land the shots. Side note on sour: the non-charged shots do not arc lighting like the charged shot letting you shot next to others without zapping them.

[@-Free.Spirit-]

do you have a vid on how to unlock this? Im struggling finding the correct entrance to the termite cave

[@ifs-wolves9034]

You can either enter from the one at the very top under the tarp or enter the hole just above the main entrance. You're looking for a somewhat large room with a ton of termites, once you've cleared it out look for a hole with a load of splints surrounding it, down there is where you'll find the chip that'll unlock the staffs.

[@Darkwolf_GR]

Do the staffs use durability?

[@phatboywill3029]

Yup

[@pierrepellerin249]

Was using the sour staff with wizard hat against the Broodmother. Between the stuns and me using mom's gene mutation, the broodmother only came after once during the whole fight. When she wasn't stunned, she kept going after my little blue spiderlings...

[@SirSim-Alot]

But still I love the sound of adding the mom genes perk. Then you have little agro pullers

[@yawngaming4188]

[@ViktorTheMachineHerald]

If you're playing Multiplayer, do the staves hurt other players?

[@Tepidstargazer]

They do.

[@slasherclone9281]

I think you should do a build for each class in the M/M RPG from in the game. Classes or builds that might fit are Archer, some kind of Swashbuckler and a heavily armoured Kinght. Maybe a healer if there’s enough for a build.

[@King_Sail]

Is it possible to get the trapper PEEP.R mutation?

[@littlelobster75]

yes you have to peep a lot of creatures to get the mutation

[@DDoubleOZ]

[@Youlatera]

So my daily build? Got it, it’s just so good, almost never die. I put fresh on it but I think I should get a fully upgraded mighty as well to negate resistances

[@nornornornor9204]

@@Youlatera I think it’s going to be my everyday build. How much health do you get back with blocks? Also do you use the badge that heals you more with blocking as well?

[@Youlatera]

@@nornornornor9204 it’s a pretty menial amount of health, but with the ladybug armor it increases that, and if you use parry master with a shield you should be golden, I usually just run whatever charm tends to be best for my occasion

I kinda like trinket that gives you heal on parry. Keeps you alive as long as you can perfect block

[@Henry-iz7iv]

Its the best charm in the game and no one talks about it! The healing is insane! I easily solo widows with that charm, because they have the same attacks as wolf spiders and orb weavers so they’re easy to perfect block, and even if they hit me and apply poison, the flawless blocks will make it so i outheal the poison

[@dootie3698]

that how i felt starting out , but quickly found out sour DESTROYS certain bugs like ladybugs/ black ox / or rollys cause if you charged a shot and aim right under they face it will go under them bounce up and down under them. but the sour staff sucks at things like termites and stuff
