Profile

Wizard is a versatile projectile zoner with high mobility and excellent screen control. Their extremely well-rounded suite of projectiles is useful at every stage of gameplay. Wizard boasts some of the most consistent and powerful neutral in the game due to Magic Dart, a homing projectile with incredible aiming freedom that's +2 on block. Flamewave compliments this nicely, acting as a large, unparriable, ground-sweeping hitbox to force opponents to go where you want them to or risk getting mixed. Vile clutch rounds out the team well with its incredibly fast recovery, good + frames, and OTG hitbox, giving Wizard consistent combo conversions and okizeme in just one move. Air mobility through hover and fastfall also makes jumping a great idea, as you're often able to have both a completely safe and a very dangerous option on the same turn versus grounded opponents. Combining this with below-average recovery on most normals and good range on all of them completes Wizard's famously solid midrange game.

These strengths shine even brighter with meter, as Wizard's supers are without a doubt the best in the game. Telekinesis presents insane neutral threat with its speed and safety. Spark bomb is an ironclad zoning wall that ignores projectile invulnerability but can also be spent for high combo damage or incredible aggression with the "Spark Install" speed buff that it gives upon detonation. And, of course, Orb is notorious for being an incredibly powerful and general-purpose gameplan. It's capable of spawning 3 new types of projectiles asynchronously as Wizard throws out attacks, and can be moved around as a free action, turning Wizard into a terrifying puppet character until you run out of meter.

All of this of course has its costs, however - Wizard is the only character in the game unable to put out a hitbox in 4 frames or faster. While Confusing Touch and a strong roll help counteract this somewhat, close range RPS is still very disadvantaged. Wizard's mobility is also largely tied to the Gravity resource bar, and with it depleted, they become a comically vulnerable sitting duck in the air with only middling ground speed. While their midrange normals are strong, they can often be predictable and susceptible to parry fishing in neutral, forcing odd hard callouts to get their pressure started. And, finally, once you do make it in, Wizard's pressure game can often be awkward, short-lived, or low-reward due to high block pushback, only a single short-ranged guard break, and no oki off of grab.

Overall, Wizard is a character with a rich suite of moves, setups, and tech allow great player expression and playstyle versatility, letting you zone until the clock hits 0 or approach aggressively behind your projectiles.

Strengths

Weaknesses

Flexible Projectiles: Magic Dart, Flamewave, and Vile Clutch compliment each other well and can be used at all stages of gameplay. Mental Stack: Wizard excels at creating obscure, hard-to-see threats and advantaged positions from neutral using projectiles and fastfall, leading to lots of unexpected hits. Excellent Mobility: Hover, Fastfall, and movement tech like BHopping make it trivial to end up in the right place at the right time. Strong Okizeme: Vile Clutch can make some soft knockdowns just as rewarding as a hard knockdown, leading into scary blockstrings with solid chip damage. Neutral Threat Range: Long-range harassment with Geyser and mid-range poking with Conjure Weapon and Mana Strike make it hard to stay safe against Wizard. Incredible Supers: While the other 2 supers are great for their uses, orb is a gameplan-in-a-can, significantly enhancing wizard's combos, neutral, advantage, and disadvantage.

Weak Close Range: The lack of a 4f jab and no okizeme off grab leave wizard quite vulnerable to getting pressured up close or snowballed off of meaties. Meter Feeder: Many of Wizard's projectile options can end up giving the opponent free parries for meter if not used carefully. Meter Hungry: Orb, Wizard's strongest neutral tool, isn't available until you have at least 3 bars of meter, and drains meter constantly while it's out, meaning that getting comboed with it out often means a reset to 0 meter. Other characters also tend to see more immediacy in their meterless or 1-meter gameplans and build it faster than you because they're approaching more often. No Mix: Wizard's only guard break, Conjure Storm, is pitifully slow and short-ranged, and their grab has comparatively low reward on hit. Gets Neutral Skipped: Tools that force close-range RPS can often ignore all of wizard's fancy midrange and just guess right at point-blank, stealing games off of sheer probability alone.

Unique Mechanics

Hover & Fall

Hover & Fall	Movement Starts At Consumes Air Option First Actionable - No - Wizard's unique movement mechanic. Toggling hover puts Wizard into a floating state that slows their fall and dampens vertical momentum. Limited only by the hover bar. Toggling fall increases Wizard's downward momentum. Fundamental to Wizard's air combos. Great for prediction mixups.

Uses a distance slider from 0-100, with a deadzone approximately 150px in front of Wizard. Knockback direction changes based on which side the blast hits, with the inward hit typically used for hitconfirms or to extend combos. Very strong air-to-ground button when used with Fall, but can lose to slower moves like Cowboy's Stinger due to its recovery.

Has a down version that shorthops into the aerial version, colloquially known as "upcicle" or "hopsicle". Beats grab for heavy reward, but only while +1. Niche anti-air useful in closer-range scrambles. While the predictions say it's +1, it's actually very bad on block because it cannot self-cancel into another air icicle. Use cautiously in pressure.

Specials

Magic Dart

Magic Dart

Damage Startup Active First Actionable Frame Advantage * Guard Proration Block Advantage 500 8 9 untill despawn or colission 16 - High 0 +1 Wizard casts a spell, summoning a Magic Dart. Air OK and can be Free Canceled. But you usually shouldn't. Tracks forever until it hits your opponent. Aimable, allowing you to threaten a wide variety of spaces in neutral. It is generally considered better to do slower dart angles than to full-send it at the opponent, as this makes it harder to parry. Careful aiming it around their block to barely avoid a parry can make it a powerful pressure option, locking the opponent down for a turn. Bounces off of the ground but disappears at the wall. Combined with Gust and careful angle selection, this covers space and makes Wizard much more of a threat at midrange.

Confusing Touch

Confusing Touch nyeh nyeh

Damage Startup Active First Actionable Frame Advantage * Guard Proration Block Advantage 200 2 3-5 24 - High 2 - Flips the opponent's facing direction and horizontal velocity on hit. A situational reversal tool, which can cause an opponent to whiff a move. Is very slow on recovery itself, leading to disadvantage against fast moves or losing to 4f buttons outright when given enough momentum. Often doesn't work when you or the opponent have high horizontal momentum, flipping the attack back into you. Ineffective against grabs and invulnerable moves. Unblockable and Air OK. Does a miniscule but unavoidable amount of damage on hit, making it a niche option to finish off low health opponents.

Free cancellable and Air OK. Wizard turns into a missile and sends themself forward, turning themself into a hitbox and creating an explosive backblast. Enables tech known as benjihopping, which is done by toggling Fall and doing Missile Form at any upwards angle, giving you a 13f actionable movement option that carries your momentum. Builds meter, shoots Orb darts, and is a generally safe approach option that you should be going for if you can afford the gravity cost. The explosive hitbox, colloquially known as "Backblast", is an excellent combo ender and has mid-combo niches at the wall and as a hard DI read.

If the command grab or hitgrab connect, follows up into a detonation move. Summons swords when orb is out. Combos with huge reward on DI up, but otherwise will go straight into soft knockdown. Useful last-resort combo ender. Windbox size is ~doubled with initiative.

Gust

Gust forgot to check gust gg forgot to check gust gg

Damage Startup Active First Actionable Frame Advantage * Guard Proration Block Advantage - 4 Entire Duration 18 - - 0 - Aimable windbox that strongly pushes projectiles and weakly pushes the opponent. Windbox strength gradually decays after each use in a combo, and then resets at the end of said combo. Pushes Wizard in the opposite direction of the Gust. Does not push them off the ground unless Hover is toggled. The most versatile and arguably the most important move in Wizard's kit. Is combo glue similar to Cowboy's Teleport, getting them close enough with ample frame advantage to hit them again. Typically used after Backblast and Combustion. Also allows them to slam Spark Bombs into opponents for massive damage and frame advantage. Being roughly +14 after Spark Bomb should give you an angle that works. Can extend wallsplats from distances where it normally wouldn't hit - if a move like Conjure Weapon doesn't quite knock them far enough to wallsplat, Gusting them into the wall for the splat will normally give great frame advantage. Creates very scary and multifaceted neutral by making Wizard's projectiles more threatening by: Shoving projectiles forward to catch opponents off guard from midrange. Shoving projectiles upward to safely call out jumps. Delaying projectile hits with backwards gust to prevent parry in some niche scenarios. Turning Spark Bomb into a scary space-denial tool, as being within Gusting range of one forces the opponent to play neutral much more carefully. There are even more uses too niche to list here, but this covers most cases. Gust is one of the major centerpieces of Wizard's gameplan and generates a lot of threat and mental stack simply by existing.

Not hit cancellable. Land cancellable. Requires at least one drop of moisture to use, and can power up by spending additional droplets. A long range poke which can be used to call out more committal options, but which feeds the opponent meter when they are using less commital movement. Is also very punishable at all but the longest ranges excluding the 3 droplet version. Level 3 geyser is a great win condition to go for when your opponent is on a sliver of health, as they will be forced to block for substantial chip damage and die if they do anything but dodge the beam entirely. This is also your main answer to deter Cowboy's Quick Draw, as they won't be able to block in gun stance and will just have to eat the hit every time

Damage Startup Active First Actionable Frame Advantage * Guard Proration Block Advantage 800, 400 19 5, 3 12 - Low, High 0 +2 Hits OTG (Off the ground/On the ground) Unparryable. Distance can be set with a slider Vine hand reaches out of the ground. Useful for extending combos at range. In neutral, it is usually a noncomittal, low-reward setup move that can trade favorably with opposing Wizard's geysers and framekill opposing Cowboy's quick draws while applying pressure at the same time. Pretty bad at grounded space denial, but can immediately put a ton of pressure on falling opponents who are down at least one air option. If you have extra frames right before a knockdown (such as +21) and good spacing, Vile Clutch is a setup for some of the strongest oki options in the game with meaty missile form or flamewave.

Damage Startup Active First Actionable Frame Advantage * Guard Proration Block Advantage 1400 8 - 14 - - 0 +0 Bomb is able to explode as soon as 16f after spawning. Ignores projectile immunity, acting as a normal strike for those purposes. If blown up with the Spark toggle, it will detonate in 2f, as Wizard takes 310 damage and gets a temporary speed buff. Duration stacks with number of spark bombs endured. A high damage, massive-hitstun tracking projectile. Can be used in neutral with Gust to cover space and mess with parries, in combos also with gust to do massive damage in just a few hits, or far away just to give yourself "Spark Install" and approach at mach 5 with a bhop. The spark toggle can also let you use it as something of a shield, as if they get close to you but not close enough to parry the bomb, they now are forced to play a nasty guessing game between blocking your 2f detonate or reading your read into that. In the Wizard and Robot matchups you are probably better off saving up enough meter to get Orb out before using these, but against Cowboy and in the mirror, spark-only wizard is a powerful alternative playstyle. While Spark Bomb is an extremely strong tool whether it's used as a projectile or as an install, it's extremely pricey for what it does at 2 meter. If you only have 2 meter it's likely worth it to save for a 3rd level to be able to summon Orb.
