Unlocking spells takes a bit of effort, so knowing which you should get first saves you tons of time. With our Derelict Spells Tier List, you can determine which spells may work best for you, and how they compare.
Weave your spells in Derelict as you go up against a multitude of enemies. If you like using spells, you’ll need a staff. See which staff I prefer the most in our Derelict Weapon Tier List!
