Your “tier list” is much more enjoyable than the others, you gave more input rather than based on stats and spells. I created my account back when cl came out and picked storm, purely for the triton spell (don’t come for me). After years of playing I find out I enjoyed ice quite a lot followed by myth. I love being a tank hybrid rather it be support-tank or offensive-tank. I started a balance cause I still never made one and I’m excited to make a support school for end game. hope to see more videos from you. Maybe start a playthrough with a school you haven’t played a lot?

I love school of life. I will admit it’s not for starter players who will most likely be soloing, I don’t recommend it. The lack of AOE spells till 48 Is soo tedious. You constantly have to blade, debuff, setup while also using pips to heal urself is soooo tedious. Fights take so much longer for the reason alone. But it does pay off late game with forest lord and dungeons are fun to keep everyone up and alive. Maybe after 1 or 2 other wizards I’d recommended life

Same for storm, I dont recommend it for starter players. The risk of fizzling and low health/defense is difficult. The best school for starters would possibly be death, balance, or even ice.

IMO ice isn’t that bad. I do agree that the damage is disgustingly low until about 100. I will say though that besides death, is probably the most “I can chill and take my time because I won’t die.” School. My main is a fire, but I love my ice!

dude i definitely agree with your point on ice gameplay and how its varied and how u kinda have to "plan" more. Obviously you're not doing some galaxy brain stuff but its more stimulating than just auto deleting everything as a high damage school

I got Myth on the quiz at the beginning and decided to roll with it and I don’t regret it. The school is fun to figure out, especially as a player who is coming back to the game after 10+ years. I do hope for the day KI revamps minions bc at the moment I haven’t used one since early Wizard City.

I'm right there with you. I created my first character (myth) back in 2010 or so. I still use minions for boss fights on occasion, and the way I use them, they are still quite useful, but there are so many things I would change about myth if I could to make them more unique and to actually be pushed into utilizing more of the spells.

"Perfection is the enemy of good". Just pick the school you find cool and all should be fine. For me it was myth because i really really loved the minion gimmick and i also like mythology. Any school is good & fun, you just need to figure the playstyle of each school out

I also would say if you’re brand new, like never played before, just go with what you get on the quiz! I got fire and have stuck with it for 11 years and its my fave school still lol

okay so first: i loved watching and listening to this tier list!! it felt like your best friend trying to help introduce you to the game. I also appreciated how you actually went and showed the schools themselves instead of just random footage. I recently decided to start playing again as the nostalgia from 2008-2010 hit me and I was a bit bummed they changed the school introduction bcus going around to each of the classrooms and seeing how each had its own vibe and tree was part of the experience imo. So thanks for recreating that in an interesting way! You also made some very good points and listed the pros/cons of many aspects which was definitely helpful to hear for ppl (like myself) who havent made it to end game. Overall 10/10 tier list, it was entertaining and funny yet very informative as well. Id watch it again and send it to friends looking to get into the game. If you did end up making a playthrough I would definitely watch it. Also side note your voice is so great to listen to as well!

Death really is OP, it’s like Storm, kill them before they can hit an heal. That said, I still think the second best hitting school is actually death, followed by myth them fire and life… then balance then ice. Death also now has the most craftable AOE spells that cost less than 5 pips

insanely indepth video. appreciate the work you put in for this vid.

When I first started playing I went with myth, first for the colors, 2nd because summoning / summoner class was always what I gravitate towards, later rather then sooner I discovered that minions aren't really the draw to myth, it was for breaking boons, and being a hitter... I switched to balance and never looked back, it's very fun, and I find soloing with it just as easy as it was for myth, if I started again I'd probs do a life/death wiz, but I love the esthetic of balance and how I don't see a lot of them

Don't know how true it is, but I heard you can still play a good Summoner Myth wizard if you invest in Monsterology.

As an Ice main I agree with pretty much everything you said. It’s the kind of school where you have to do the boring stuff first so you can have fun later. The slow grind is so painful especially when you have an alternate account (in my case a Fire wizard) that’s speeding through quests. But I personally think that hanging in there makes late game pretty satisfying because it feels like your suffering has a payoff. You have to find the fun in Ice but the fun you find makes it my favorite. Also: I can’t believe someone else plays Wiz and has watched Bakugan. That was my entire elementary school years summarized lmao, was obsessed with both.

Lmao I chose life because I love the color green plus I love healing haha. People have told me it'd be rough and it was but now that I'm in Polaris (literally just started today) its definitely gotten much easier especially now that I have darkmoor gear.

I'm a Myth main, thank you for giving some fair recognition to it. By far my favorite school, plus the spells look so nice. I know it's not a damage spell, but the myth grendel healing spell is my favorite myth spell in the whole game.

I think life is slow to solo with UNLESS you come prepared with a Kookaburra pet, because leafstorm is (I think) the highest damage 4-pip spell (up to ~400 damage) Combined with the leaf blade item spell the pet gives and all you need is the standard blade + spirit blade to one hit most battles. You are also pretty tanky, and the ability to heal so much hp so easily makes it more resilient than ice imo. I have also noticed that, at least early in the game, it's not very common for death mobs to have a life shield.

I love ice, yes because I love blue & just the ice element in general but being able to tank is really cool along with getting to really strategize. Yes soloing can be slow, but with team up with other wizards it can be quick! Yes a lot of blades, traps, bubbles, but it’s possible to hit & get some pretty good damage! Or you can support, take hits, give shields, heal, or give blades depending on the spells you have. I love utilizing traps or blades for the people I’m playing with. I feel like Ice can be very versatile, I’m always the last one standing

starting off with a balance wizard, the idea of being a buffer/support in a team setting is appealing while still being able to stand on your own in pvp

balance is a popular school for the wrong reasons XD. i hadn't played since 2016, i restarted in 2022 and chose balance as my first wiz (bc i remember it being one of my favorites when i was younger)... solo'd until lvl ~100 and REGRETTED everything, but the journey was FUN and i've always liked being a support when needed. i'd recommend balance if you want to challange yourself in battles, you have a good kit but at the same time you don't have many options in a duel if your'e soloing (if that makes sense). In a team everything feels easy and all you do is support and even heal at times. Balance is really balanced but underwhelming

Thank you for including the stereotypes and how people see you. That's really helpful. Other rankings just reflect the KZreadr's own personality and preferences. Personally I started with Balance, so everything else seems easy after learning that school :)

Ice is PAIN LIFE IS ALSO PAIN I SUGGEST PICKING PAIN at the higher levels Ice solo carry the ARCS with variable spells like glaciar fortress removing jinxes and adding wards and even a sword removing debuff for enemies we have unique spells for any situation very usable in team comps

Ice is my favroite because you get to take your time buffing yourself up, your tanky enough that most hits dont matter!

great vid bro i hope the channel grows

Death and then life would be my recommendations, for main as they can fill any role pretty much... especially death cuz heal back while attacking... and alt? Id always recommend storm as its best for farming things such as couch potatoes, jewels, gold for pet making ect for ur other characters.

Myth became very interesting when I started upgrading my spells with spellements in dragon sprye. And once you get to celestia itdoesn’t matter the damage since your going to be using gargantuan on every spell. Just use whatever wizard you want you can always make another one.

I'm doing a balance playthrough where I use archmastery and off school spells, it's a really fun solo mechanic, being able to change your stat on the fly, and always having a hit or two from every school between main and side deck. Will this be useful outside of arc 1, it's still to be unseen, but i would like to see how this works as with archmastery and tc's you really can be a jack of all trades, elemental enemies? Spirit blade and you've got three hits ready to go!

While I'm struggling a lot with soloing the game like this, it's still a pretty cool school lore wise I think over all other schools except maybe Death and Myth. (I think Bal, Death, Myth have the most in-game lore related to them that's different than the other ones) so I'm still happy with my choice :)

I have the most fun playing LIFE, keeping my team alive and making us hard to kill against the many bosses and mobs is so fun to me. I truly like the Healing spells and if need be I can hit with a nice amount of damage. I enjoy this game but life is my favorite class.

The Myth "Class" is the Pet Tamer or Monster Tamer in other games. They exist, they're usually a lot better than W101 handles them but Myth in W101 is still a lot of fun

Death trivializes most encounters. I did solo ice first, and am currently running through on my death. There were bosses that my ice struggled with for hours that my death just effortlessly blew through.

i used to play this game as a kid, and a few days ago decided to pick it back up again. told myself i wasnt gonna be a basic bitch and choose death. but when i took the test it gave me death anyway :'] so i just decided to go with it. i rather play more unique stuff like myth because i love underappreciated things but i do admit im enjoying the aesthetic of death even if theres so many others around me. if i get a second wizard though id wanna choose balance, myth, or life

I'm literally maybe 1/10th of the way through this video. However I'm noticing one solid piece of advice this man most likely leaves out. If you can afford to, and would like to have a max level character you can use to boost your wizards through the game quickly. This is under the assumption that you either have played the entire storyline or you aren't interested and just want to get to a certain level, say, level 60-160 for something like PVP. Make 2 accounts. Make a storm or fire first on your side account. Get the fire or storm wizard to max level and obtain the best free gear you can for your side acct wiz, unless you don't care about spending bank on pack gear and pet training. Storm or fire may not be for you, it may not specifically be your "baby" However, having a max fire or storm on a side account if u buy membership for 2 accounts. You can run 2 wiz clients on the same computer. Therefore, you can have a max level powerhouse wizard that can easily be used to get any of the wizards you make on your main to max within just a few short days. Not to mention, you'll have a max level fire or storm that you can use alongside your main to assist with farming gear, jewels, stitch gear, mounts, etc. Whatever you'd like. You could even run 2v2 PVP with your own wizards and only have yourself and the meta and shit to blame for getting your ass handed to you. Good luck young Rizzard! 🤣

i have always played pyro 🫶

Yes! Bulky Chad Ice Hipster, here. Nah... In all seriousness, I may be bulky, but I' wouldn't consider myself a Chad... a pseudo hipster maybe, but not a Chad. Ice is far and away my favorite school though. It didn't used to be, back when I first played the game, I liked Fire as, at that point, it was a viable contender for best hitter, battling back and fourth with storm for the top spot, and I kind of liked it's underdog status in that rivalry. Sadly, fire is a mere shadow of it's former self. Anyway, here's Ice became my favorite school: So, I picked the game back up about 2 and half years ago, following a 7 or 8 year sabbatical from my initial foray into Wizard101, when I was looking for a game to alleviate my anxiety while I was finishing up my M.S. in Psych. Another reason I decided to get into the game again was because I had a very boring 3 hour course two nights a week, and wanted a game I could covertly play on my laptop in class. This lead me to picking ice for a very pragmatic reason... While the professor for this course was rather oblivious and inept, I'd invariably have to hide the game, or take my eyes off my computer during a discussion or to answer a question... Well, that meant that I'd occasionally have to miss a turn in battle, so I figured, I had better pick the tankiest school, so I could still survive battles despite having to be inactive for a few rounds... Well, for that reason, and that reason alone (aside from Ice being one of the two schools I had never tried perviously) I decided to get back into the game with Ice. Wel, in the subsequent few years, I've maxed out Ice along with two other Wizards, and I still find myself using my max Ice wizard way more than my other two maxed out characters. Heck, I regularly just mess around on my Ice wizard instead of trying to raise my other non-maxed characters. I just feel it's so much more fun than any of the other schools. So.... for anyone who has yet to give Ice School a try, I HIGHLY recommend it. After balance, I feel it's the most unique school (what, with no regular viable form of healing, and almost requiring a shadow pip gear build...) Well, give a try. You won't regret it. Unless you shoot one of the icicles hanging off of your Ice House with a BB gun and lose your eye. You'lll probably regret it then... and also asking for an official Red Rider BB gun for Christmas. See? Should have just asked for a year long membership!
