Wizard vs Witch
Wizard vs Witch in Command An Army: the $5,000 burst caster or the $10,000 sustained damage dealer? Which caster earns its slot and when to switch.
Verdict
Wizard is the community-picked first caster and the smarter buy at $5,000. Witch costs 2x more but offers sustained damage — buy Wizard first, upgrade to Witch when you need the DPS ceiling.
Quick Answer
Wizard ($5,000) is the first caster most players buy and the community pick for best value in the Rare tier. Witch ($10,000) costs twice as much but delivers sustained damage over time. Start with Wizard, star it up, then consider Witch when you need the DPS ceiling.

When Wizard Wins
Wizard wins on value and accessibility. At $5,000 it is the first caster most players can afford, and its burst damage clears waves efficiently. Buy Wizard when: you need ranged damage but have limited cash, you are building your first core, or you want to invest cash in star levels instead.
When Witch Wins
Witch wins in longer fights where sustained damage matters. It costs 2x more but delivers consistent DPS over time. Buy Witch when: Wizard is already starred up, you have $10,000+ surplus cash, and you need the DPS ceiling for endgame pushes.
The Caster Upgrade Path
Most players run Wizard as their primary caster through mid and late game. Witch is an upgrade path, not a replacement — a starred-up Wizard often outperforms a fresh Witch in cash efficiency. The optimal strategy is Wizard first, star it up, then invest in Witch when surplus cash allows.
