Far Far West offers plenty of different spells for you to use on your runs, and some of them are extremely strong when it comes to wiping out enemies. This guide will help you separate the extraordinary ones from those that aren’t very effective.
Let’s find out the best spells in the current meta.
Best Far Far West spells to use
Every spell in Far Far West belongs to a specific element. Moreover, some of them will form powerful combos that create unique interactions. However, I have mentioned spells that are immensely powerful on their own. Any combos they create should be treated as a bonus.
While you’ll need some to unlock a few options mentioned in the table below, they’re well worth the grind.
| Spell | Reason | |
|---|---|---|
| Bandito | Cactus | When you use this spell, it will summon a cactus golem that fights by your side. When you’re playing in a group, this spell might feel okay at best. When you’re playing solo, having the cactus golem will help you survive the onslaught. You can also play aggressively when the golem is active by your side. |
| Portal | Electricity | The Portal is a difficult spell to master. It allows you to create portals that allow you to teleport across spaces or even duplicate projectiles. However, you’ll have to learn how to place the portals to effectively create combos. |
| Fireball | Fire | This is one of the simplest spells to master. You don’t need to think much and just fire the projectiles towards enemies. The projectiles explode upon hit and also do splash damage. |
| Ritual | Voodoo | The Ritual is a spell unlike any other. It doesn’t do any damage, but helps to heal yourself/your allies. The potential of the spell when you’re playing solo is limited, but it’s a great choice when playing in a team (especially at higher difficulties). |
| Wisp | Fire | The Wisp is a great tool for sustained damage. The fire spirit will trap enemies and cause them to burn over time. While the Wisp isn’t the very best when it comes to raw damage, it has some good combo options with Electric spells. |
| Rain | Acid | The Rain is arguably the strongest AoE damage spell in the game. It rains acid over a large area, and trapped enemies continue to take damage over time. To make matters better, the Rain spell can also be combined with other spells. |
Just selecting the best spell isn’t enough if you want to survive the hardest difficulties. For starters, you’ll need to learn and master the combos. When you combine spells, the resulting interaction will create something quite unique.
You should also choose spells based on your build. This will factor in the weapons you’re using. Having synergy between your weapons and spells is crucial if you want to outsmart the enemies. With Far Far West being in early access, I expect us to get more spells in the days to come.
