The Wizard undergoes significant changes at all levels except levels 2 and 4.If placed correctly, they can cripple the main power of attacks. Giant Bombs can one-shot relatively leveled Wizards.

However, you should not put the Mortars at the core of the base. Make sure the Mortars are able to target the inside of the base. Wizards are somewhat weak and die to a couple of Mortar shots.In particular, a level 5 or higher Lightning Spell is enough to defeat a Wizard of any level. Lightning Spells can immediately defeat defending Wizards.Low-level Heroes may not be able to defeat the Wizards in one hit, particularly if the Wizards are high-leveled in retaliation, the Wizards may do significant damage or even defeat the heroes quickly.Since they do splash damage, it is best to use spread-out ranged troops such as Archers or your own Wizards to defeat them.

Be careful when attacking defensive Wizards.Poison Spells, if you have one, can be used to stop him from doing significant damage. Also, they can, at proper levels, deal huge damage to Golems and completely wipe out Hog and Giant hordes, as these troops prioritize defenses and won't attack them. Their splash damage lets them take out weak, grouped troops like Archers and Barbarians at low levels. Their range allows them to attack from afar or from behind Walls, and their speed makes it harder for them to be lured away. Wizards pose a bit of a threat in a Clan Castle.You can deploy 3 or 4 Wizards, and with their range and high DPS they can take out buildings so that your Archer Queen and other troops go in the preferred direction, instead of being kited around the base, resulting in a failed funnel into the core of the enemies base. Wizards are great funneling troops for high level strategies, such as those involving Golems or Queen walks.Deploying a Wizard or two after the Clan Castle troops have engaged you can be a good alternative to a Lightning Spell or a Poison Spell. Their ability to do high amounts of splash damage (although in a small radius) allows them to kill a lot of troops at once. Wizards are amazing at clearing out an enemy's Clan Castle troops.Barbarians can be used as a tank to support Wizards, but they are still vulnerable to splash damage Because of this, often the Barbarian King or a P.E.K.K.A is a better choice as they can soak up many more shots from these defenses than the regular Barbarian.Their ability to attack over Walls make them very useful for attacking from the outside of Walls, or attacking from a distance without the danger of being caught in a Mortar or Wizard Tower blast.Wizards are often used by high-level players in place of Archers, because of their high damage and relatively high health (when compared to Archers that will be killed in a single hit by most high level Defensive Buildings).To prevent a large amount of Wizards from dying, spread them along the line of fire and don't spawn them in one place immediately. Wizards are also are very vulnerable to Giant Bombs, Spring Traps, and Bombs if they're in groups of 3 or more.Due to their inability to withstand sustained fire, Wizards are primarily used behind more durable troops such as Giants, Golems, Ice Golems or P.E.K.K.As (or supported with Healers). Wizards have high enough health to survive a few splash damage attacks, but point defenses can present a significant problem.

However, to maximize their effectiveness, it is generally considered a good idea to deploy them in decent-sized groups of 4 or more.

Wizards can be very effective at taking out defenses their very high damage makes turret hit points no match for them.

Once all of the nearby enemy troops are defeated, the Wizards will proceed to attack the nearest structure. However, if they become aware of enemy Clan Castle troops, Heroes, or Skeleton Trap skeletons (either by being attacked themselves or by being near another friendly troop under attack), and can fight back against them, they will leave their previously targeted building and instead engage the enemy troops.

Wizards have no preferred target when attacking they will simply attack the closest building.

Wizards are commonly used in large groups for fire support or as a force multiplier (similar to Archers), but they can also be effective in smaller numbers, especially at lower levels.

He is a fragile ground unit with high splash damage and range.

The Wizard is troop unlocked in the level 7 Barracks.
