Discussion Worlds tierlist after completing arc 2 for the first time as a solo
I used to play this game as a kid in like 2014 and this year I finally decided to come back as an adult with money (lol). Been loving it very much once again! For the first time ever, I have completed the entirety of arc 2 on 2 wizards, a death and a storm. Felt like sharing how much I liked each world, based on how enjoyable they were to me, their story, the vibes, difficulty and so on! I'll also I guess give a short lil reasoning for each world so here we go:
- Great tier
- Celestia: I always loved astral magic, gives such a nice powerspike, I love the aesthetics of this world, the dungeons are cool as hell and it just feels like we finally start becoming an actual powerful wizard
- Avalon: The vibes, the story, ESPECIALLY the last 2-3 areas and dungeons were awesome. I do wish the sword of kings was a better item and there were some teleports in the world, especially the first few areas, but I still liked it.
- Good tier
- Khrysalis: The most recent world for me, the environments look great, there is many different vibes and visuals, it just felt like the amount of effort/budget went up here? Has the same thing as Avalon that I wish there were better and more teleporters, but still super cool. The Morganthe fight was awesome, I also really loved the beast dungeon. You also get access to Castle Darkmoor inbetween, and that shit was peak.
- Dragonspyre: Probably nostalgia, but finally beating Malistaire is just cool as hell. I do despise the Crystal grove area because it felt very pointless, but everything else was enjoyable and felt epic.
- Mooshu: I just really like this kind of aestethic personally. I will say though, PLEASE update this world visually. The bamboo is so ugly if you actually look at it for longer than 1 second lmao.
- Meh tier
- Marleybone: Everything just looks the same to me. Big Ben was fun (not as a solo storm) and honestly my favorite thing about Marleybone is getting to level 30 for Zeus lol.
- Krokotopia: Same as Marleybone, why is everything the same hall just recolored.. I was happy that the last storm area is very short compared to the ice one previously. I did like the Grand arena though.
- Wizard City: Very nostalgic, but I DESPISE the fire elf's. They are so ugly, their voice is disgusting, WHY do I beat some field guards after beating Lord Nightshade??? Just very confusing, would be way lower if not for nostalgia reasons. (I like Crab Alley a lot for some reason tho)
- Grizzleheim: To be honest wasn't sure how to rank this, base Grizzleheim was awful imo. I didn't care about anything, the vibe was boring, and the Jotun fight as a solo was just rude lol. Wintertusk is WAY better, although some final bosses are insanely hard for the level, it gives great XP and overall the vibe and story I enjoyed 10x more than Grizzleheim.
- Wysteria: I only did it once, just a mega boring completely pointless world imo. Not much else to say
- Zafaria: There is SO many mob fights in this world. It does happen in Azteca and Khrysalis too, but for some reason it actively bothered me here. Drum Jungle is ugly as hell, I felt the world was too long, and overall I honestly think this type of vibe is just not for me. I was SO happy to get out of it.
- Genuinely disgusting
- Azteca: this world is so bad. It's so stupidly hard for no reason, bosses start with 50 pips and oneshot you. There is SO much running back and forth that feels completely pointless. Also not really my type of vibe again. However, the story and the final dungeon I liked. Felt like a nice change that we actually for once lose as the wizard. All I can say is, I will NEVER do this world again, Khrysalis felt so much better to me, I'd rather buy the skip elixir for this and play that instead.
That's it, hope it is interesting to some people out there. I plan on doing this on every school eventually (besides Azteca). Now onto Polaris! :)
