YAPYAP Best Wands Tier List
Wands decide how much control you have over vision, movement, and enemy pressure in YAPYAP. The best wands in YAPYAP are those that provide either constant information, reliable survivability, or repeatable crowd control across an entire run. This tier list reflects overall consistency rather than raw power alone.
S Tier Wands
These wands provide value in almost every room and rarely fall off.
Astral Wand
Astral Wand remains top tier because information wins runs. Astral Eyes removes ambush risk and lets you plan rooms before entering them. Blink gives instant repositioning, and Swap enables clutch saves.
It does not rely on perfect timing. Even average use creates massive safety.
Blessed Wand
Blessed Wand earns S Tier due to how often it prevents run ending mistakes. Custodia shields, Mercy heals, and revives undo bad positioning or unlucky hits.
Solo damage is low, but survivability scales better than raw offense. In longer runs, this wand quietly carries.
A Tier Wands
Very strong, but more execution dependent or situational.
Wand of Telekinesis
Telekinesis offers excellent crowd control through knockback and area denial. Telelock can shut down escape routes and control enemy flow.
Its weakness is that it requires active positioning and timing. When used well, it feels S Tier. When misused, it falls behind safer options.
Wand of Illusions
Illusions excels at aggro manipulation. Clones pull enemies away, and Mimicry avoids danger entirely.
Cooldown reliance limits consistency. Great in solo runs, weaker if clones are mistimed.
B Tier Wands
Useful wands that help early or fill specific roles.
Wand of Winds
Winds provides strong movement through Up Dog and basic crowd control with Tempest. It is reliable and flexible.
Scaling is the issue. As floors get harder, its impact drops compared to higher tiers.
Wand of Fire
Fire delivers strong damage and area denial. Mines and burn effects can clear rooms quickly.
Friendly fire and positioning mistakes punish hard. High risk keeps it out of higher tiers.
C Tier Wands
Low impact or niche picks.
Wand of Minor Arcanes
Teleportana offers movement utility, but most spells lack combat presence.
It works as a secondary tool, not a main wand.
Grotesque Wand
Grotesque effects create early disruption but fall off rapidly.
Transformations stop being relevant once enemies become sturdier.
Best Wand Spells Across All Builds
Some spells perform well regardless of tier.
Blink for emergency repositioning
Up Dog for vertical safety
Tempest for crowd control
Dub ill oo for aggro control
Custodia for survivability
Telelock for space denial
Dual Wielding And Hand Swapping
Dual wielding allows one wand to focus on control and the other on mobility or support. This reduces weaknesses and increases consistency.
Practice swapping hands outside combat. Panic swaps lose runs.
How To Change Wands In YAPYAP
Wands can be swapped from the inventory between floors. Choose your setup before entering dangerous rooms.
Mid combat swapping is unsafe and rarely worth it.
Final Blurb
The YAPYAP wand meta favors consistency over flash. Astral and Blessed wands win because they prevent failure, not because they deal the most damage. Telekinesis and Illusions reward skilled play, while Winds and Fire support specific styles. Pick the wand that keeps you alive when things go wrong, because they always do.
