Best Supernova Wizard Build Early to End Game Guide – Prominence II

This comprehensive guide walks you through building a powerful Arcane Wizard Mage in Prominence II. The Arcane build is known for being relatively easy to gear up while delivering incredible burst damage through crit mechanics. Whether you’re just starting out or pushing endgame content, this build scales beautifully across all progression stages.

Getting Started: The Mage Path

Begin by navigating to the Mage path in your combat menu. This is your foundation for the Arcane Wizard build.

Early Game Gear: Building Your Foundation

Wizard Robe Top

Your first major piece of gear should be the Wizard Robe Top. This item provides Arcane power while helping you scale critical strike damage—essential for the burst damage playstyle of this build.

Novice Wand

Start with the Novice Wand as your weapon. While it provides Fire damage through its Scorch primary spell, this is a temporary stepping stone to better Arcane options.

Wizard Staff Upgrade

Once you obtain Nether Quartz, upgrade to the Wizard Staff. This weapon is a major improvement, granting all three elemental powers: Fire, Frost, and Arcane. For this build, you’ll focus on Arcane, which grants the Arcane Bolt additional spell.

Mid Game Progression: Arcane-Specific Gear

Arcane Robes

Once you have the Wizard Staff, you can craft Arcane-specific robes using Ender Pearls and Worldlock. This gear provides substantial Arcane power, some armor, and Spell Haste—all critical stats for your build. The materials are reasonably accessible, making this an achievable upgrade.

Mage Scarab (Chest Piece)

Progress toward the Mage Scarab for your chest slot. This is a bit more challenging to acquire but worth the effort. It provides +12% to each element and grants Resolption—a mechanic that regenerates absorption (yellow hearts) up to a maximum amount, and does so gradually after you haven’t been hit for four seconds.

Mage Seeker Hat (Head Piece)

For your head slot, equip the Mage Seeker Hat. This piece is crucial for your critical strike scaling, granting 8% Spell Critical Chance and 40% Spell Critical Damage—absolutely massive for burst potential. Craft it using an Amethyst Shard with Black Wool and Lava. It’s surprisingly easy to make.

Accessories and Optimization

Power Glove

The Power Glove increases damage dealt by the wearer, adding physical damage to your arsenal. While this build focuses on Arcane, the physical damage scaling still helps your overall output.

Charm of Regeneration 2

This accessory grants Regeneration 2, providing steady healing to keep you alive during combat.

Turtle Brace

The Turtle Brace offers a chance to mitigate incoming damage when hit, providing survivability.

Pendant of Sunfire

Although this item has a Fire theme, don’t be confused—the Pendant of Sunfire provides 3% Spell Critical Chance and 10% Spell Critical Damage. For a crit-focused Arcane build, these stats are massive regardless of the Fire imagery.

Sunflare Signets

Similarly, the Sunflare Signets provide Spell Critical Chance and Critical Damage, making them excellent accessory choices for scaling your burst.

Enchantment: Hardening Catalysts

Apply Hardening Catalysts to your gear to make items unbreakable. If you don’t have access to Hardening Catalysts yet, use Mending or Unbreaking as early alternatives.

End Game Weapons: The Power Scaling

Arcane Staff Progression

Progress through the Arcane staff line: Arcane Staff → Neverite Arcane Staff → Crystal Arcane Staff. Each tier is essentially an upgraded version of the previous, providing more Arcane power and scaling. The Crystal Arcane Staff grants additional spells like Arcane Bolt.

Starforge Weapon

Starforge is a game-changing weapon that triggers elemental novas on hit with a one-second base cooldown. It requires Runes of the appropriate type or Spell Infinity to function. Starforge provides access to powerful spells including Maelstrom, Sonic Strike, Massacre, and Flickering Flame.

Supernova Weapon (Final Form)

The Supernova is the ultimate evolution of this build. Upgrade your Starforge into the Supernova when possible. Note: you’ll need two Starforges total—one to upgrade into the Supernova and one to use actively in your rotation.

Spell Mechanics and Abilities

Maelstrom Spell

Maelstrom is accessed through your Starforge and deals both physical and Arcane damage. This is why the Power Glove’s physical damage scaling still benefits your build. Maelstrom triggers elemental novas and grants Astral Echoing, causing your hits to resonate with extra elemental damage.

Essential Enchantments (N-Charms)

Spell Infinity (Critical)

Spell Infinity is perhaps the most important enchantment for this build. It makes all spells absolutely free to cast, dramatically increasing your flexibility and rotation speed. This is highly recommended for endgame play.

Additional Enchantments

Beyond Spell Infinity, consider these N-Charms:

Soldier’s Vour: Multiplies XP gained from kills

Spell Haste: Increases how quickly you cast spells

Spell Power: Increases damage of your spells

Bush: Deals extra damage while sneaking or invisible (pair with invisibility potions)

Echo: Grants a chance to deal extra AOE damage around you

Unlocking Endgame Content: The Glass Ocean Dimension

Hex Blade Offering Ritual

To access high-tier weapons and mage gear, you first need to craft a Hex Blade Offering. This summons the Shadow Monkey Wizard—defeat this boss to receive a Hex Blade and a Prismatic Pearl.

Glass Ocean Dimension

With the Prismatic Pearl, you can access the Glass Ocean dimension and summon the Mages. These encounters grant both Starforge weapons and Mage gear (including the Strands you need to craft them).

Crafting Requirements

Remember: you need two Starforges total. One will be upgraded into your Supernova, while the other remains as an active combat weapon in your rotation.

The Combat Rotation

Creating Echo Unleashed

First, create an Echo Unleashed book from the Arcane Techniques book. Through Spellbinding, obtain Echo Storm of a Reverberating Vortex—a homing spell that deals massive Arcane damage.

Your Rotation Sequence

Execute this rotation in order:

Cast Echo Storm on your Crystal Arcane Staff

Swap to Supernova and cast Flame Projection

Swap to Starforge and cast Maelstrom

Swap back to Supernova and cast Flame Projection again

Roll away or run away (depending on availability)

Cast Cataclysm talent ability

Cataclysm Talent Ability

Cataclysm is your capstone ability. When activated, you lock yourself in place and channel a powerful spell that sends several comets along a line in front of you. It scales with the highest value between your Frost and Fire spell power attributes.

Talent Tree Progression

Core Talents

Follow this talent tree path:

Enigmatic Knowledge: Gain Arcane power

Knowledge of Runes and Stars: Become a Sorcerer and gain Astral power

Spell Crit and Crit Damage: Empower your burst scaling

Cataclysm: Your ultimate ability

Supernova Specific Talents

For your Supernova weapon:

Increase attack speed for Supernova

Increase damage dealt by Supernova (highest priority)

Progress toward the hilt of the talent tree

Astro Attunement or Singularity: Choose based on your corruption resistance. If your gear already provides sufficient corruption resistance, go with Singularity for the extra 30% Arcane power—this is massive.

Food and Sustainability

Ender Congee

Use Ender Congee as your primary food buff. It provides Resistance, Regeneration, Health Boost, and Comfort, while also increasing your maximum health. This is essential since the Arcane build is somewhat squishy. Ender Congee is one of the best food choices for most builds in Prominence II.

Summary

The Supernova Arcane Wizard build in Prominence II is a powerful, scalable option that works from early game through endgame content. Start with accessible gear like the Wizard Robe Top and Novice Wand, progress through the Arcane robes and Mage Seeker Hat to maximize critical damage, and eventually unlock the devastating Starforge and Supernova weapons through boss encounters in the Glass Ocean dimension. The rotation is straightforward, the stat scaling is clear, and with proper gear and enchantments, you’ll deal incredible burst damage while maintaining reasonable survivability through Ender Congee and defensive talents.
