Far Far West Spells
Six schools of arcana, thirty spells. Filter by school to find your stack.
Six schools, thirty spells. Each school has a distinct identity - Acid leaves pools that other spells transform, Cactus spawns turrets and decoys, Elec chains and teleports, Fire beams and ignites, Frost freezes enemies and shields allies, and Voodoo heals the posse and curses the rest. The real depth comes from combos: stacking two effects on the same surface to trigger a third one.
Stack two spell effects on the same surface or enemy. When the second cast lands on something already affected by the first, the game triggers a combo - a separate, usually stronger effect.
- Any acid poolFire Beam
Tornado
Fire Beam ignites any acid surface (Bubble, Geyser, Rain) and lifts it into a swirling damage zone.
- Elec StrikeFire Wisp
Electric Wisp
Wisp picks up the lightning charge - homing damage that arcs to nearby targets.
- Elec StrikeAcid Geyser
Multi-Geyser
Each lightning bolt forks the geyser into a ring of secondary geysers.
- Elec StrikeAcid Bubble
More Bubble
Charged acid grows a bigger bubble field with extended duration.
- Acid GeyserFire Ball
Exploding Geyser
Fireball detonates the geyser column for a heavy AoE burst.
- Acid RainElec Strike
Lightning Strikes
Rain conducts the lightning - chained strikes hit everyone in the rain zone.
- Any acid poolAny Voodoo
Healing Candles
Voodoo essence consecrates the pool into a friendly healing candle field.
- Any acid poolAny Fire or Elec
Chain Reaction
Acid surfaces transmit Fire or Elec damage across every connected pool.
- Any CactusAny Fire or Elec
Charged Cactus
Cactus summons (turret, wall, mine, decoy, golem) inherit elemental damage when struck by a Fire or Elec spell. The same trick works with elemental gunshots: a Pistolero hit by an Elec-effect bullet starts firing electric rounds.
- Any Fire or ElecAcid Thrower
Acid DPS Burst
Hit a Fire- or Elec-affected target FIRST, then Acid Thrower on top, and the acid detonates into a giant continuous damage burst. Reversing the order (Acid first, then Fire/Elec) only triggers a single tick.
- Any CactusAny Voodoo
Corrupted Cactus
Cactus summons hit by a Voodoo aura (Drain, Rescue, Corruption) turn purple and spread that corruption to every enemy they strike - the stain is transferable between summons and detonates for a wave of corruption damage when the effect ends. Especially strong on Decoy and Betty, since both expire by firing, so the corruption wave goes off automatically.
- Elec PortalCactus Ulti (Bandito)
Doubled Bandito
Spells thrown through Elec Portal are duplicated, so Bandito's huge wave gets cast twice. Devastating against tightly-packed groups and the easiest way to scale the spell's already-high damage. Every player now carries their own pair of portals (up to 8 in a four-player run), so keeping one open for this is easy.
- Elec PortalCactus Turret (Pistolero)
Doubled Pistolero
Pistolero turret thrown through Elec Portal spawns a second turret on the other side, so two turrets means double sustained DPS until they expire. With every player now carrying their own two portals, you can set this up far more often.
- Any CactusAny Acid
Acid Cactus
Cactus summons (turret, wall, mine, decoy, golem) struck by an Acid spell (Bubble, Geyser, Rain, Thrower) inherit acid damage - their shots and contact hits coat targets in corrosion on top of the physical damage. The same elemental-inheritance trick as Charged Cactus, just on the Acid school.
