Class pairing: Reported· MMORPG.com Steam names Wavesword in a balance note. Pairing it to Mage is from MMORPG.com's class intro.
The Wavesword is the Mage’s close-in weapon. Steam says its attack power and growth scaling were rebalanced before Early Access. The Mage pairing and skills come from MMORPG.com.
How the Wavesword plays
According to MMORPG.com, it is for the mage who wants to be in the middle of the action. You rush through enemies, cut them down with combos, then unleash energy blades or bring up frost from under their feet. A sensible approach is to start here if you want a mobile spellblade. The Elemental Staff is the ranged alternative.
Known skills and trait paths
Officially, XLGAMES said it rebalanced Wavesword attack power and growth scaling, without naming skills.
According to MMORPG.com:
- Tidal Rend sends you forward, striking an enemy three times.
- Thundersnow summons a blizzard that deals area damage to nearby enemies and increases their Freeze Gauge.
Every weapon type has its own trait tree, and trait points come from Raeven’s Coilstones, each placed near a powerful boss, not from level. Nodes may give stat boosts, brand-new skills, or changes to how an existing skill works. XLGAMES says point costs and tree layouts may change with feedback.
Stat points for a Wavesword build
Intelligence raises magic attack and Talent supports it, so a sensible approach is Intelligence first. Because the Wavesword puts you in melee range, Constitution and Endurance help you survive. XLGAMES has not said whether Wavesword damage scales with physical or magic attack, so check the skill descriptions before you commit. See the class guide for the full class picture.
What we are still collecting
Early Access is live. We are adding the following from public sources as they appear, each with a link and a date:
- Whether Wavesword damage scales with magic attack, once documented.
- How players describe the Freeze Gauge.
- Player views on melee survivability compared with the Elemental Staff.

Stat reference
No Wavesword starter build on this page yet. RaidDex published a Frost Moon Mage with Wavesword guide (listed in Sources). We have not adopted it as a starter build because a build needs at least two independent sources.
| Stat | What it does | Wavesword pick |
|---|---|---|
| Strength | Raises physical attack | Sealed |
| Agility | Boosts crit chance and some physical attack | Sealed |
| Constitution | Increases HP and crit resistance | Sealed |
| Intelligence | Raises magic attack | Sealed |
| Talent | Supports magic attack, reduces equipment penalties | Sealed |
| Endurance | Increases stamina and defense | Sealed |
Stat effects: Official· XLGAMES / Steam One point always buys one stat. There is no cited build for this page yet, so no point spread is recommended.
