Arcane Odyssey v1.13 Balancing Changes WIP

there is, the logic is that crystals are known to be very brittle so a head-on collision is likely to result in it breaking itself instead

yea

Ice is also very brittle. Also, I can’t see how the crystal wouldn’t shatter the ice even if it broke

i just checked and crystal already gets a damage boost from frozen, isn’t this logic is already in the game then?

It doesn’t clear frozen

since ice and crystal are both brittle, they’re of about equal strength so crystal probably isn’t stronger enough to completely shatter it, but it can chip or crack it, which is most likely what the damage boost is

Why rapier nerf :c

The fact that one is moving and the other isn’t doesn’t make any difference. If it were the other way around, and a frozen person was being blasted at a stationary crystal blast, the result would be the same

you’re right, that’s how physics works, but i never mentioned motion

Ok so why does the crystal need to be stronger than the ice to shatter it

because that’s usually how breaking things work, hit thing with stronger thing and thing breaks, hit thing with weaker thing and thing doesn’t break, if they’re about equal idk what happens, they probably just chip each other a bit or smth

They can both break. If the crystal doesn’t break, then how is it different from earth as far as breaking the ice goes?

if i throw a baseball at a wall it bounces off
but if i throw a baseball at a wall at mach 10 the wall would explode

but crystal is faster than earth

if i throw a feather at a wall nothing happens
but if i throw a 10 ton feather at the wall the wall crumbles

by how much

0.7 to 0.6

yea so its basically goes half a foot further per second
which isnt much

they don’t completely shatter tho unless they’re going like uber fast, i can smash a rock into another rock but i’d only be able to chip them, swords also don’t completely shatter when they collide with each other even tho they’re made of the exact same material

earth is generally less brittle than crystals, so it’s able to shatter the ice easier

that’s cause it’s also lighter so it’s less damaging
