Wizard Alchemy Tier List - Best Potions & Races [Island 2]

Updated on May 25, 2026: Added Island 2 Potions as well as a Race Tier List.

If you’re looking for the best potions/spells and races in Wizard Alchemy, I’ll cover both in this guide. Sometimes lower rarity potions are just as powerful for farming while being easier to Refine. As for races, there’s a #1 but the top 3 depend on which Potions you pick as you’ll see below. Here’s my Wizard Alchemy Potion and Race tier list.

Wizard Alchemy Potion/Spell Tier List

Before we dive below into the individual ranking reasons for the best potions in Wizard Alchemy, here are the ranking breakdowns:

S-Tier: Best of the best for PVE and worth the grind for refining.
A-Tier: Great alternatives that are still worth refining.
B-Tier: Good secondary slot options or powerful early game spells that are easy to refine.
C-Tier: Weaker than the above but beginner friendly since they’re easy to refine.
D-Tier: Same as C-Tier but these are more difficult to use due to low range or they’re from Island 2 so they’re harder to get for beginners.

Refinement Note: You need a total of 60 Potions to reach SSS Refinement if you’re going with a 100% guaranteed Refinement route with 3 normals for S, 4S for SS, 5SS for SSS.

Elemental Shard Note: If you want a specific Potion from this list use its Elemental Shard to craft it (Crafting guide & Recipes).

Race & Potion Combos: It’s best to combine some of these Potions with the best races – Race tier list is below the Potion list.

S-Tier Potions/Spells

Potion & Minimum Magic Req.	Ranking Notes
Solar Flare Island 2 – 245 Magic	• The best potion in the game • The best damage and scaling in the late-game • Other potions can somewhat compete if they have the race boost
Molten Core Island 2 – 230 Magic	• Molten Core is arguably the second-best potion in the game • It has massive scaling for late-game
Thunder Revenge Potion Island 2 – 150 Magic	• The Frost Thorns of the Epic tier since it’s so good and easier to grind than Legendaries • Massive burst damage and competes for the third-best potion in the game with Night Wraith

Death Eater 10%	• Fiendish and Ice Crystal are much better than Death Eater if you’re using their spells (See below) • That said, if not, Death Eater has amazing sustain for solo farming • Plus Death Eater has a general damage boost rather than a specific Elemental one which can be more useful early on	• Restores 5% Max HP upon killing an enemy • HP regeneration speed is halved • +10% Attack Power

Race	Ranking Reason	Race Abilities

Fiendish Demon 5%	• Use with Dragon Breath and it’s high A-Tier • Same ranking reason as Fiendish Demon but Ice is a bit better since Frost Thorns is a faster spell • That said Dragon Breath is still one of the best spells in the game so you can’t go wrong	• +20% Fire Elemental Damage • +2 Base Movement Speed • -10% Max HP

Race	Ranking Reason	Race Abilities
