Wizard101 PvP Rhoshambo Spells

Author’s Note: This article is up to date as of August 2023.

As test realm progresses, more and more changes have arrived. Although there was uncertainty when we’d see them, the Rhoshambo Spells are finally available for testing! Check them out down below and take your time admiring all the amazing card art!

Rhoshambo Rumble

For those who have been keeping up, we’ve seen lots of changes moving in and out of test realm. It’s important to note that as this article is written, test realm is still ongoing and it is unknown how many of these spells are finalized. Before checking out the spells, let’s first recap what Rhoshambo means.

The Recap

The Rhoshambo spells follow the Rhoshambo wheel. This wheel helps dictate how each school should interact with each other and where each school can pull different abilities from others. The Rhoshambo wheel below shows Balance in the middle, a clear neutral. Next up are the spirit schools with Life besting Myth, Myth defeating Death, and Death ending Life. Similarly, Fire conquers Ice, Ice blocks Storm, and Storm destroys Fire. For more in-depth analysis of the Rhoshambo Wheel check out our previous article here.

Rhoshambo Availability

Excited to get your new spells? Each school professor is waiting with 7 new Rhoshambo PvP Spells for each class. These spells are Advanced Combat Only and cannot currently be used in PvE. These spells do work in the Raids. The first of these spells can be trained at level 40. These would be the Scion Ramps, or the utility spells that can help set up the Scion gambit condition. Scion spells mirror their PvE counterparts and require players to be level 120. Furthermore, the PvE version must be learned before the new ones can be trained. The Jinn Gambit and Ramp spells are available at level 70. And last but not least, the Oni spells are trainable at level 100. This was changed recently to better match up with pvp leagues. The Balance Oni gambit and ramp are available at level 120.

In addition to learning your own schools spells, the majority of these spells can be trained by any school. The requirement for all of them is each school’s level 33 trained spell which is also found on each school’s professor. That means anyone wanting to train the Rhoshambo spells will have to train 8 additional spells and really dive into a secondary school. The exception to this is the Scion spells which require the PvE version of the spell to learn the PvP version. The PvE version is acquired during the Empyrea questline. And now for the spells!

Shadow

Shadow entered the Spiral in 2010 and has since been wandering the worlds seeking adventures and challenges. He knows his way around every aspect in Wizard101 to varying degrees but has untamed enthusiasm for team pvp and difficult bosses. On rare occasions Shadow dons a pirate hat and can be found swashbuckling around the Spiral in P101.

      The Roshambo Ramps no longer ignore protected hanging effects

    • Ferric Reply

      Any gambit spell that consumes blades DOES count the consumed blades (if they apply to that spell) as buffs. For example, if a Storm scion consumed an set of Elemental Blades, it would count it for the gambit if it consumed at least 4 blades and count the storm blade from that elemental blade towards the buff. Same thing goes for other blade gambits like the Death Jinn and Life Oni.

      Trap gambits, however, do not count any traps that are consumed as buffs, which is correctly stated here for those spells. Just tested all of this and it is also apparently intentional.
