Best Magic Combination for Lightning? (Base Magic)

Basically what the title says. Since Stun is getting nerfed, I don’t know if it’ll still be viable. But if it is, would Lightning Water Ice be a good choice for third awakening?

And would Lightning Magma or Lightning Plasma be a good choice as well?

I also want to know if my Lightning Mage build is good


Gonna replace all Cernyx pieces with Sunken Warrior when I get them.

Lightning acid

lightning water is good if you’re going for the most meta
lightning sand is also a spicy pick if you wanna be viable but stand out more
also nice build, i disagree with the 1 drawback tho

yeah painite is never worth it, unless you’re a pure tank/runner that’s never attacking

if i were to prop a guess, unless you want to run the slowness effect mentioned on the balance doc seriously (which imo would need some changes to the cd between applying a status or else it’s gonna be borderline useless)

if lightning’s 30% synergy with frozen still remains, you could argue that with a low enough startup you could proc soaked, then frozen, then hit with lightning for bonus damage, meaning the magic combination you mentioned would be viable

but i think we’re gonna see more unique lightning builds incorporating second magics (alongside fighting styles, but i’m guessing this is a mage-related thread), just going off synergies alone i think it’s a safe assumption to guess lightning sand, lightning crystal, and lightning + any bleed inflicting magic (earth, glass, metal, wood)

i’ve already seen lightning glass & lightning sand, and vice versa, but it’ll be interesting to see a mix of these, we’re also gonna probably get to see usage of lightning’s 10% synergies (at a much smaller amount though)

magma’s platforms & lightning’s 10% damage synergy with melting already make it viable (im looking at you yoshi) and lightning has a 10% damage synergy with plasma, so yes

im liking the look of it but i personally can’t even handle 1 drawback :sob:

water

I didn’t warn him

Since stun won’t be useful that much in Nimbus, would you say that Lightning Plasma Magma would be a good third awakening?

For the build: 2 insanity illusions-rip your eyes; drawback is never worth it and for lightning mage, you will want more attack speed

I would do water for the second magic. Also, welcome to the lightning mage club! I run water as my second magic, also thinking about picking ice as possible 3rd magic.

Lightning is already fast enough

ye but you should still use some atk speed
