The air quivers around up to five creatures of your choice that you can see within range. An unwilling creature must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw to resist this spell. You teleport each affected target to an unoccupied space that you can see within 120 feet of you. That space must be on the ground or on a floor.

Spells similar to Scatter
Teleport 7th-level conjuration
It covers the same broad teleportation theme and shares the class list, even if it is aimed at long-range travel rather than combat control.
Players prefer Teleport over Scatter
Dimension Door 4th-level conjuration
Both are conjuration spells built around instant repositioning, though this one is more about moving allies than scattering enemies.
Players prefer Dimension Door over Scatter
Arcane Gate 6th-level conjuration
Like Scatter, it creates a dramatic repositioning effect that can move creatures around the battlefield, just in a more sustained way.
Players prefer Arcane Gate over Scatter
Thunder Step 3rd-level conjuration
This spell moves you and can shift another creature too, so it shares the same sudden repositioning and combat disruption vibe.
Players prefer Thunder Step over Scatter
Vortex Warp 2nd-level conjuration
It also relocates a creature against its will with a saving throw, making it the closest match in both feel and battlefield use.
