Dark and Darker: tier list of spells


Dark and Darker is perhaps the big surprise of the end of 2023. It is the Ironmace studio, originally from South Korea, which is working on the production of this game. It is currently available in the free test phase on Steam and some streamers who have tried it find great potential in it.


You must form a team of three to venture on one of the different maps of the game and overcome the challenges that await you. The game mixes a dungeon PvE environment, with PvP as you will be competing with other players. You will select a character and a class that you will shape during your game. Your characters will have the possibility to use various spells available in the game. To help you in your choices, here are the best spells.


Tier list of spells on Dark and Darker 

The game is currently in the playtest phase. This tier list should be taken with a grain of salt since the game and the spells will most certainly be modified between now and the official release. 

In addition, depending on your team, your style of play, and the needs of your composition, certain spells, despite their rank, will be essential.
