Which Wizard Subclass Should You Pick In Solasta 2?

With so many details to manage in Solasta 2, it’s easy to get overwhelmed and not know what the long-term implications of your characters’ starting classes will be. However, most party compositions are viable throughout the game. The most important thing is picking a good subclass to compliment the makeup of your party, and that includes the spell-slinging wizard.

Picking the subclass means know where you want your character to be multiple levels from now, and it’s a choice that should not be made lightly. Here’s everything you need to know about the wizard class and corresponding subclasses to choose from.

Best Stats For The Wizard Class

Wizards are capable spellcasters that require lots of intelligence to hold their own. Aside from that, you’ll want to have decent dexterity and constitution so you don’t become a glass cannon.

In addition to these stats, there are specific choices you make in regards to your race and background that will help your wizard reach their full potential. Take a look at your choices below:

Once you reach wizard level three, you can pick a subclass to further develop your skills. There are two to choose from, and while they’re both two sides of the same coin, they represent both sides of the spectrum when it comes to a wizard’s potential.

School Of Ruin Subclass

The School of Ruin subclass is designed to maximize your damage output, but leaves your wizard almost completely vulnerable if they get within melee range. With the right feat, you’ll be nigh unstoppable as you incinerate your enemies with high-tier magic. Both single-targets and groups will perish at your hands.

Court Mage Subclass

To balance your wizard’s power, the Court Mage subclass offers more survivability options. It’s a good balanced approach, allowing your wizard to sacrifice limitless potential in exchange for security in the party. This is a good option if you have a flexible party where all members can hold their own. Crowd-control is the name of the game, giving your wizard more of a supporting role than an offensive one.

Which Subclass Should You Pick?

Beginners should choose the Court Mage class if they struggle with the mechanics of combat, as it will keep your wizard from getting wiped out. However, if you have a tank in the party, you can safely choose the School of Ruin subclass so long as the two characters stick together.

More advanced players will appreciate and manipulate magic through the School of Ruin subclass, leading to big explosions of power and utter chaos in combat.
