Nobody Saves the World Magician guide

by Chris Hyde on January 18, 2022

The Magician is the first form Nobody Saves the World to introduce Familiars. These are support buddies that will fight alongside you until their health runs out. This provides a different type of tactic as now you can increase the numbers in your side rather than it being a solo fight. Despite this, the Magician is quite a weak attacker and fragile too, compared to say the Guard or Bodybuilder. He can be deadly in the right hands, but this requires an understanding of how he works. Read on below to see how to get the best out of the Magician in Nobody Saves the World.

Tips

Getting the most out of your Familiars is critical with the Magician in Nobody Saves the World. You’ll be pulling out rabbits and tigers to help you, and you’ll want to make sure the Mana investment is worth it. The most important thing to note is that Familiars’ health is always decreasing over time, even if they don’t get hit. As such it’s always a race against time to get the most out of them. Therefore it’s advisable to only pull them out when you’re close to enemies and they can spend their short lifespan hitting enemies for you. As the Magician you will want to be carefully dealing additional damage with Pick A Card to restore your Mana to allow for more Familiars later. Passive Stun is always useful as it roots enemies to the spot, so make the most of this if you see the Yellow Stun icon full up as this means enemies are fully stunned. Be warned though, this effect doesn’t last long, so you’ll need to get in quick. Confetti Bomb is also very useful for crowd control, particularly those with Light Wards. Note, sometimes you’ll pull out a real bomb, which will do more damage and take longer to explode. Bear this in mind during the onscreen carnage.
