Sorceress[DCCSO]

Master the Sorceress in Dragon's Crown! Explore her crowd control, support spells, and mana management. Learn skill builds for Ice Prison, Protection, Gravity, and more.

The Sorceress is a super support class in Dragon's Crown, excelling at crowd control, party buffs, and enemy debuffs. She can also create food and even reanimate fallen allies as skeletons. Her main drawbacks are relatively low damage output and a heavy reliance on mana, which is consumed for rod attacks and evasion. Mana can be recharged manually by holding Square, by attacking enemies with Square, or by landing killing blows after acquiring the Mental Absorb skill. Downtime spent manually charging mana can significantly reduce her damage output.

Summary:

• Pros: Good crowd control spells, Create Food spell, Raise Skeleton skill, Protection skill, Curse spell.
• Cons: Relatively low damage, Reliance on mana.
