Introduction

This list of items is comprised of what's generally considered meta. Items are ordered by our personal ranking, with the best option for each element listed first. (Outliers being compression items, that are ordered by element)

Filters

Fire

Warmaster's Burst

The top option for Fire. Much like Destruction-Burst below (Compression section) it sacrifices HP for damage, but you pay for only 45% with HP, with +5% Mastercraft for a total of +50% damage.

Location: Yulgar's Inn -> Go to Lounge -> Sage Uldor -> Burning Solstice -> Part V: The Choice to Fall

Info-Subs: Link

Water

Cysero's Explosive Teleport Booth

This is the best option; it seeks between Water and Energy, and it has the same mechanics as Destruction Burst, dealing 50% more damage at the cost of an amount of HP. Unlike Destruction Burst however, it requires you to buy a Z-Token package.

Location: 12000 Z-Token package

Info-Subs: Link

Hyperalphean Invocation

The strongest non-premium option, it pays an additional 40% melee in SP (157 SP at level 150) and deals 1.25x the damage of a standard spell.

Location: Guardian Giftboxes 2019 Rare

Info-Subs: Link

Lagoon Leviathan

Another strong Water option for those who have it, having a neutral lean with a 20% chance of dealing +25% damage.

Location: None

Info-Subs: Link

Whirl Tide

The best non-rare F2P option. It has a +6 BTH lean and a +4 BTH MC, and consists of 9 equally powerful hits. However, it deals no more damage than a regular spell.

Location: Travel Map -> Travel South -> Varrinsqu Keep -> Lavai, Shadow Storm, FallowSea

Info-Subs: Link

Wind

Warmaster's Burst

The top option for Wind. Much like Destruction-Burst below (Compression section) it sacrifices HP for damage, but you pay for only 45% with HP, with +5% Mastercraft for a total of +50% damage.

Location: Yulgar's Inn -> Go to Lounge -> Sage Uldor -> Burning Solstice -> Part V: The Choice to Fall

Borrow

The best Wind Spell outside of premiums. While it out-damages even Arctic Tornado, applying a *1.5 multiplicative boost instead of +50% additive, but at the cost of the monster healing all of the damage done over 5 turns, making this spell more effective than a neutral one as long as your fight is 4 rounds or shorter, and assuming you have boosters, and stronger than Arctic Tornado as long as your fight is 3 rounds or shorter.

Due to the nature of Borrow its value is confusing, and therefore I made a graph illustrating how strong it is based on how many rounds of it have been cast.

Reading the Graph:

Red Line is when compared with a regular level 150 Spell with no lean and no MC.

Blue Line is when compared with Arctic Tornado (Comparison assuming Boosters, otherwise they deal the same damage).

X axis indicates the number of consecutive casts.

Y axis indicates the value percentage of the spell. If that confuses you, Positive Y values indicate "better", negative Y values indicate "worse". (Ex: If X = 1 and Y = 1.5 it means 1 cast of Borrow is worth 0.5 additional casts of the other spell)

Location: Robina's Shop -> Truphma Saga -> 4: Legend of Lady Tomo

Ice

Arctic Tornado

Arctic Tornado works the same way as Cysero's Explosive Teleport Booth, and requires you to buy the 12000 Z-Token package. It compresses Wind and Ice, and seeks between the two.

Location: 12000 Z-Token package

Deploy T.R.E.E. (RARE)

This spell does 6 hits with a *1.5 chance of LS; the best F2P Ice spell if you happen to have it.

Location: None

Info-Subs: [TBD]

Frigid Fury

Frigid Fury is the best non-rare F2P option. The spell consists of 5 equally powerful hits, and has a +6 BTH lean as well as a +4 BTH MC bonus (so +10 BTH in total).

Location: Travel Map -> Travel South -> Varrinsqu Keep -> Elder Saggidus, Cayla's Mirror, Lavai

Info-Subs: Link

Spectral Chains

This spell does 5 hits and takes a -32.5% damage penalty due to being quickcast, but can only be used once per battle.

Location: None

Info-Subs: Link

Earth

Creation Burst

This spell works the same way as the other Burst spells mentioned here; it deals 50% more base damage than a regular spell, at the cost of an amount of HP. It compresses Earth and Light, and seeks between the two. Like Arctic Tornado and Cysero's Explosive Teleport Booth, it requires you to buy the 12000 Z-Token package.

Location: 12000 Z-Token package

Info-Subs: Link

Zardzilla Trample

The strongest Earth spell outside of the Premium ones, having an inaccurate lean of -5 BTH, and a +5% Damage mastercraft.

Gravity Crush is the best non-rare F2P option. It consists of 3 hits, with the first 2 doing 25% damage each, and the 3rd hit doing 50% damage. It has a +6 BTH lean and a +4.25 BTH MC bonus, so it gains 10.25 BTH overall.

Location: Travel Map -> Travel South -> Varrinsqu Keep -> Shadow Storm, Cayla's Mirror, Lavai

Info-Subs: Link

Sizzler 'Splosion

A spell that auto-hits (can't be dodged) at the penalty of dealing -30% damage. While it's relatively niche, Wind monsters are some of the dodgiest, and this spell is also useful for farming Shadow Roc (see the Farming Guide).

Location: Warlic Shop -> Mastercraft Sets -> Geocastellum Intro (Save Barry)

Info-Subs: Link

Knife to Meat You (Quickcast)

This spell takes a -32.5% damage penalty due to being quickcast, but can only be used once per battle.

Energy

Cysero's Explosive Teleport Booth (PREMIUM)

Already mentioned in the Water section.

Location: 12000 Z-Token package

Info-Subs: Link

Vidrir's Judgement

The top non-premium option for Energy, sacrificing some HP to never miss. It also deals +10% damage against burned opponents, however this is irrelevant for most people.

Location: Today's Event -> Frostval: The Test of Thunder

Info-Subs: Link

Pixel Storm

Pixel Storm was part of the 2014 Frostval Giftboxes, and is permanently rare now. If you have it however, then it's the best option available to you below Cysero's Explosive Teleport Booth. It has an 8% chance of dealing 162% damage (coming up to an average of +12.96% Damage) .

Location: None

Info-Subs: Link

Truphma Surge

Generally the best non-rare F2P spell for pure builds, although, while it deals greater damage than MegaHyperGigaShock, it has a -10 BTH lean so it's widely considered to be inferior on non-pure (less than 250 DEX) builds.

Location: Robina's Shop -> Truphma Saga -> Xov's Fire -> Part 3

Info-Subs: Link

Mystic Kaiju Blast

Triggers on enemies with STR, dealing +10% damage against them.

Location: Guardian Tower -> Nimrod -> Guardian Shop

Light

Creation Burst

Already mentioned in the Earth section.

Location: Travel Map -> Travel South -> Varrinsqu Keep -> Kad-Morag, Elder Saggidus

Info-Subs: Link

Darkness

Destruction Burst

The top option for Darkness. It compresses both Fire and Darkness, and it seeks between the two, but not only that, it deals 50% more base damage than a regular spell of the same level at the cost of an amount of HP.

Location: Dragonspine -> 23: Diamonds and Explosions

Info-Subs: Link

Harm

Archmage Research

Archmage Research is great. When cast, you have 3 options: Summon Mana Spirit, Dissipate Mana and Shape Mana. The Mana Spirit is a strong but situational guest that deals greater damage than normal due to its randomly shifting elements, as well has only attacking half the time. Dissipate Mana is a strong, 1-hit spell that deals Harm damage and damages the monster's MP. Shape Mana works the same way, but it damages the monster's HP instead.

Location: Devourer Saga -> Part 8 -> The Restoration

No Lemons, No Melon was available from the Frostval 2015 Golden Giftboxes; thus, it's permanently rare now.
