Guns alone won’t keep you alive in Far Far West, spell combos are just as crucial for dealing with cryptics and making it out of runs alive. Knowing when to use the right ability and chain it together can quickly turn a losing fight into a clean win, especially when enemies start to overwhelm you in greater difficulty.
Before you start chaining abilities together, it’s important to understand the fundamentals behind how spells work, how they’re equipped, and how to trigger them efficiently. Here’s everything you need to know to choose and use spells in Far Far West.
How to use spells in Far Far West
After leaving your spawn tavern, head toward the large cave on your left with a purple card sign on the top, where you’ll find an NPC who lets you choose and equip your spells. There are five elemental types of spells: Pyro, Elec, Cactus, Acid, and Voodoo.
You can use the level one ability of spells right from the start, but you need to level up each elemental spell to unlock new and powerful ways of combining them with other spells. You start with two spells at the start of the game, but once you reach level three, you can choose and use any three elemental spells in your runs, which are always available to you with the cooldown.
You can also reduce this cooldown by using the customize hero option and spending your gold to put points in the Spell Cooldown reduction option in the game. Now, let’s jump into the spell combos that are effective against the enemies and bosses in Far Far West.
All Spell Combos in Far Far West
After unlocking all three spells, you can craft multiple spell combos based on your playstyle. Here is a table showing the top four spell combos that I’ve found the best in my runs.
| Spell Combo | Why do they work together |
|---|---|
| Pyro + Elec + Acid | High damage combo, burn plus shock plus corrosion, with the slowdown melts enemies quickly. |
| Pyro + Cactus + Voodoo | Great mix of damage and control, Cactus turrets for completing objectives or zones while Voodoo weakens, and Pyro finishes. |
| Elec + Acid + Voodoo | Strong debuff stack, shock, and poison, combined with Voodoo effects make enemies easier to burst down. |
| Pyro + Elec + Cactus | Balanced setup, burst damage from Pyro and Elec with Cactus helping with crowd control. |
