Mashle Academy Magic Tier List & Showcase

Updated on March 25, 2026: Added Magic tier list in addition to the showcases.

Unlike other Roblox RPGs, the overall power and viability of the main movesets or Magics in Mashle Academy aren't dependent on rarity. All Magics can be good based on your playstyle and some of the better Magics like Waters is a simple Common rarity. Here's my Mashle Academy Magic tier list and full showcase of all moves.

Mashle Academy Magics Tier List

Image by Destructoid There's no best Magic in Mashle Academy like in other Roblox RPGs. It's more of a Type Soul situation where even the Commons can be quite powerful if played right or with specific combos. So instead of S-Tier being the best options and C-Tier being the worst options, this tier list assumes all Magics are powerful but measures how many factors each Magic needs to reach its potential. S-Tier Magics require little to no factors while each lower tier requires more and more factors to be powerful. Factors include specific skill and weapon combos, specific builds, player combo knowledge, enemy positioning/skill, early vs late game, teamfight vs duel, etc.

PVP vs PVE: I tried to account for both PVP and PVE in this tier list. If it was strictly a PVP tier list Timez would be higher, if it was strictly a PVE tier list Partisans and Fire would be one tier higher, etc.

Tip: Combo this tier list with our Clan & Race Tier List.

S-Tier Magics

Ranking Breakdown

Darkness
Legendary

• One of the best Magics in the game due to a lot of options and powerful base moves
• Z is highly flexible since you can both set it up to use during combos or just fire them for pressure
• I like to set them up, start a two-hit M1 combo, parry bait, then when the parry ends fire them with Z
• The X's damage can be parried but it still pulls them in as a combo starter into Dragon Rise and other skills
• The C is a massive burst, especially with Trait crits, that has hyperarmor, a weird parry timing and you can move during it to go behind them
• Even the Secondths M1s deal massive damage with the reaper echoes

Ice
Rare

• Ice is similar to Charm where it has really strong synergy with itself
• Basically your Z and Secondths M1s apply Frost that make your Z and X stronger
• Combine this with an Ice Weapon like the Twin Drake fists where the crit applies frost
• Then alternate between empowered Z and X for excellent sustained DPS in PVE and PVP
• Plus you have a safety move for healing with C that also works on allies which is great utility but can be punished with timing
• Overall a very competitive synergistic Magic if you combine it with an Ice Weapon

Sands
Rare

• Sands is IMO a better version of Roks in terms of defense because you get better utility
• X completely negates any big attack in the game and is shared with allies in a teamfight both in PVP and PVE
• On top of that you get a nice combo starter with Z and C is great chasedown that you can easily bait out parries with by moving back/sides before grabbing them
• Broom Strike also works with the Secondths third attack knockup for combo extension and the hook blinds like Scorched Gauntlets
• Overall a very strong mix of offense and defense

Muscles
Legendary

• Amazing PVP moveset due to a lot of combo extenders
• If you can land a C it true combos into Dragon Rise
• X and Z are great combo enders
• The Secondths M1s are great combo starters because they don't have a combo end so you can keep punching
• You can even evade parries by just turning your camera around to miss a punch then back to the opponent and then combo into X or C
• Really strong in PVP if you know how to combo even with the HP drain on Secondths M1s but it's negligible

Waters
Common

• Water is one of the best Common Magics and it used to be stronger before the change but it's still oppressive
• This is because Z is a great combo starter into X (Dodge disable) and C (high burst)
• Plus you get a ton of Stamina drain with most moves which is really strong since you're actively taking away your enemy's moves
• Comboing base moves and M1-ing during Secondths takes away so much Stamina
• Just make sure to combo into C since it can be easily dodged or jumped over if you spam it

A-Tier Magics

Ranking Breakdown

Timez
Legendary

• Timez is very build specific because by itself it's not that powerful but it's amazing utility with other moves
• For example you can use Z to revert enemies into a Magic Trap
• C is great for setting up strong burst moves like Dragon Rise or combo Heian active with Demon active slash for high damage
• You also have some defense with he dodge counters and the Secondths reduces your cooldowns while increasing the enemy's
• Overall a nice utility package to add onto your build

Graviole
Rare

• Graviole is bad early but powerful late-game when maxed out on a pure Magic build dealing a ton of damage
• You also have excellent combo starters with Z, X into Broom Strike or just landing a C for a pull into a combo
• The Secondths mode allows you to kite back and keep firing at great range but it doesn't synergize too much with the base moves
• Overall, a ton of damage potential here on a full Magic build if you learn the combos

Charm
Common

• An incredibly strong combo option since Z is an excellent combo starter into both Charm moves but also Dragon Rise and other skills
• The combo starters continue with the X mark that allows C to stun them again for another combo starter/extender
• X also gives you like a single-target Roks C damage reduction that makes you really tanky against that single target
• Finally the Secondths weapon just applies X on-hit for more damage reduction and more opportunities for C's stun
• I'd usually use a C to pop the mark after a missed parry by my opponent
• Overall an incredibly strong PVP Magic with a ton of in-built synergy but you need other skills for damage to benefit from combos

Tornegus
Common

• Tornegus is one of the skill-based Magics requiring good knowledge on combos to be good
• Use Z as a combo starter then turn around since the tornado drags enemies toward your camera then turning back for combos once they're close
• Like M1 with Secondths rapier for heavy after cut/Bleed damage
• Or you can tornado, turn around, then once they're close turn back around for a Broom Strike which is a great combo
• X and C are amazing PVP (Catching escapes) and PVE (traversal) mobility but C can be easily PB by players who've learned its timing

Partisans
Legendary

• Not good early since the number of partisans spawned scales with Magic Mastery
• That said in late-game it's pretty good for pressure
• Both Z and C just keep raining down partisans that your opponent can block/parry but they just keep going
• This means you can go in for combos with other skills and it's going to be very difficult for your opponent to parry everything
• Overall pretty good for PVP late-game but I prefer it for PVE

Lightning
Rare

• Lightning is similar to Fire where the moves are easy to deal with by themselves but become much better when used in mix-ups with other skills
• Unlike Fire, Lightning is better for PVP because the Z's mini-stun attack block Evasives meaning you can combo off of them really well (E.g. Dragon Rise)
• Most of the moves including Secondths M1s block Evasives for a really oppressive an aggressive combo option
• Combos great with Fists for combo potential or Wands for a bit more range
• Learn the C Counter timing and you have yourself a strong PVP build

B-Tier Magics

Ranking Breakdown

Roks
Common

• Roks (Scales with Muscles) is a great defensive option due to C but it's only offensively viable if you combo it with other tools
• For example it goes well with Shield's Bulwark Stampede to crash enemies into the X wall
• You can curve X to the sides by turning your camera to catch dodging enemies or position it better for Shield
• Roks also has one of the best Secondths since the mace deals a ton of damage, is fast and the final hit is unparriable
• Overall an underrated option that can be good as long as you combo it with something else

Sounds
Rare

• It's more of a teamfight Magic because Z tethers in an AOE and C is a team mobility buff
• You can still apply great pressure in 1v1s with the Z tether and X stun to start a combo
• Yes, the enemy can dash away, M1 to proc the X stun, and then parry it but it's still awkward and puts pressure on them
• Plus your guitar M1s from Secondths combo into Broom Strike and other moves for great mix-ups
• That said, C makes your 1v1 game weaker since it's more for teamfights so Sounds is less optimal for duels IMO

C-Tier Magics

Ranking Breakdown

Spaces
Legendary

• Very playstyle-specific Magic that forces you to play around the Z Planets detonation damage
• Both X and C drag the Planets toward you or toward your opponent
• That said you can also detonate them for damage by walking into them like with a 2-hit combo that forces a parry bait then walk into a planet
• Overall it's a pretty decent Magic but one where the reliability of your DPS depends on your opponent's positioning and skill

Fire
Common

• Easy to use, decent damage and very beginner-friendly but has a lower power potential
• The moves by themselves are only good if you can mix them up with other moves
• The highlights here are the burn damage and the hyperarmor C even though it can be PB
• And lastly, the burn, range and dual scaling on the Secondths is pretty good but then again that's the case for most Magics
• Overall, Fire is a great start to learn the combat system but there are more advanced Magics

Mashle Academy Magics FAQ

What are Magics in Mashle Academy? Magics are your base movesets consisting of three moves that will be complemented by other moves from your Race, Clan, Gear, Skills, etc. They are divided into Common (89%), Rare (10%) and Legendary (1%) rarities but these rarities don't necessarily determine how powerful they are in PVP since even Common Magics can be quite strong if you play them right.

What is the best Magic in Mashle Academy? All Magics are generally viable, especially when you max out their Magic Mastery, but some that stand out in PVP are Water for its Stamina Drain and Darkness for its overwhelming pressure. That said, the power of each Magic largely depends on how well you play it as well as what builds you combine it with. For example, a Timez Magic+Demon Race+Heian Clan combo can be OP for burst damage and a Muscles Magic+Burnedead Clan build can be extremely oppressive in PVP.

What is Magic Mastery in Mashle Academy? Magic Mastery is used to unlock your Magic skills and increase their power. Magic Mastery increases the Potency of Magic Power stat for Magic scaling abilities and their effectiveness like longer status effects, stronger output, etc. Check out each Magic's respective page to view its usage since Magics that seem weak at first become drastically better with increased Mastery.

What are Magic Canes? Magic Canes is a pseudo title and a set of bonuses given to the Top 10 players of their respective Magics. Each Magic has their own leaderboard where the top 10 players become Magic Canes. If you do, you get bonuses like a special pet, a shining Username on player lists, +50 Magic Mastery hard cap, a special transformation and so on.
