Could the player have beaten Calvus if he had the cloud curse?

Like I’ve said in the topic itself and multiple replies in this scenario the mc can still hit him even without magic so its actually possible to beat him, so no he can’t just turn into a cloud to dodge he still has to actually get out of the way.

I also said in the post he can’t leave the throne room either, again so the player actually stands a chance, please actually read the post instead of just the title.

Just because the throne room is enclosed doesn’t mean he can’t fly in it. He could hypothetically build momentum by flying around the room then impale the player.

I’m not saying he can’t fly, he just can’t fly away if he’s losing like the other comment is suggesting.

We did fight Curse users in Arcane Adventures. And indeed, melee attacks and weapons do not harm them at all. But anything magic related will do the trick just enough.

As far as I remember, AA died before Rupin got released. You are probably talking about uncanon AR. Or I am having a memory loss.

Anyway, AO got much wider development for curse users, so I think we will meet absolutely different battle from what we have seen in AR.

But its just my opinion.

magma man exists

Oh yeah. Still doesn’t changes anything, cuz every class in AO can damage curse users.

I was talking about our fight against Trigno on the Rumbling Caldera, though it probably doesn’t happen in lore, it’s still an indication on how we fought a curse user gameplay wise.

Since AO has added auras, it should allows us to beat up curse users perfectly fine with any build.

But you see difference in AA’s combat and AO’s combat. Curse users probably will be on the next lvl of mobility… imagine Calvus, but without need to summon circles or charge attacks.

If Calvus isn’t dumb and doesn’t try to use his magic while having the curse, no, the MC loses that fight, we ain’t built enough for a curse user at that point (unless the user was a dumbass that tries to use his own magic alongside his curse).
Though I can definitely see Calvus trying to use his aether magic if the mc pushes him too much, considering his life-long habit of trying to use as much stuff as he can together during a fight, and that would lead to him losing.

how would his magic weaken him? i know using water magic as a fire curse user would harm you but cloud and aether dont sound like they clash

When you absorb a curse (I don’t actually know if this also happens for External curses like Lazarus), that curse kinda overrides your magic. Since it’s adjusting your body and character to itself, your body and magic is now mostly the curse, trying to use your original magic(s) would be useless, since they would either clash with the curse’s magic or be way too weak to do any damage (people that remember or recently read up on curses, please correct me if I’m wrong about this, it’s been a while since I checked).
In this case, even if trying to use his magic wouldn’t hurt Calvus, it would definitely leave him open for an attack, and that would allow the MC to actually hurt him enough to get the advantage in the fight and win.

We literally fought Ramses in the first sea and you could fight Arsen in Alalea

Also ya Trigno

when was it said that curses override/weakens magics?

averill did not have the light curse in the second sea

Ya mb

Yea, it’s been a while since I checked, so I don’t really remember when it was said, so I could be wrong, in which case Calvus just folds the player and that’s the end of it.

“It works the same way with other magic types, because the curse is a specific type of energy it will reject any other type of energy.”

Yep, if the magic is different at all from the Curse, it wont work, regardless if its a similar type of magic. If you have Light Magic and you have the Light Curse, go ahead, it wont hurt ya. But anything that aint Light, even if said magic is somehwhat related to Light, it will hurt you.
