Dafuq is Spirit hound?

like bro what the hell why does this rite exist why is it even like that anyway???
What is Spirit hound and what is it for why would you even use it it’s so phucking buggy I cant
Literally the worst rite ever

Im going insane once again

It has Cannon spell physics, which means about 60% of shots will decide they don’t feel like hitting.

Even Cannon is better bro

Spirit Hound is just a big ass wolf spirit image with shitty hitboxes and weird mechanics
There’s literally no reason to use it because of how buggy it is

And the worst thing is that you can Edit Cannon to be just a better version of a Blast spell which will make some cool build variations while Spirit hound has a giant VFX with a hitbox 4x smaller than it
And it has absolutely no reason to pierce through objects you have both Aithoro and Astrapikis to do that job MUCH better

I think it’s really effective against Lord Elius, but I haven’t tried it much outside that.

pretty much anything is effective against lord Elius since he’s slow
The only advantages of Spirit hound I can find is it’s size and speed, it is much faster (I think???) than a Spirit Blast and generally has more size, and thats it
The projectile piercing it has makes no sense and is almost useless in any situation because it puts itself at a disadvantage whenever it hits a surface (even if it pierces through)

Oh yeah and it has some solid attack destruction bonus but thats literally it

Like if theres any reason to use Spirit hound over Spirit Blast or just a magic Blast (im a paladin) then sure, but I just cant find any reasoning behind its existence

It feels like Vetex was just going “Oh well I have no idea what unique spell to make so i’ll just make a Cannon spell in disguise of a spirit wolf head so it looks somewhat unique” and then resize the model to be abnormally huge while forgetting to change the hitbox as well

another reason why sp*rit is worse than magic in every way possible

Spirit Rain and Spirit Walk are lowkey fire tho

give it sometimes before magic gets even better versions of them :yawning_face:

Spirit and magic should be completely different actually
No reason to make 3 different versions of one spell in each stat build
Atp the only unique one is Strenght stat which stinks

Hey dont you dare say bad thing about strength

Spirit is;

  1. Magic - Utilizes the same attack style as Mages, and has three relics (like three magics)
  2. Warrior - Has three equip able relics, like weapons.

The issue is that it does both of these things so awfully that it’s like running the game on a hard difficulty if you decide on Oracle… the sub classes are stronger because they use the abilities/weapons from different classes.

I like running both spirit hound and blast on my oracle file :3

I use hound over blast because
1, more size
2, hits through terrain
3, faster
4, more destruction

All that for the same damage, it’s pretty much a free upgrade

Well hound is the only usable ‘blast’ spell spirit has

so you’re either saying that spirit blast doesn’t exist, or you think it’s genuinely unviable to use over spirit hound

it’s pretty much a direct downgrade to hound icl

i’m pretty sure spirit hound is very viable specially in pvp due to how big and unavoidable it can become

You dare use my own tricks against me, mage?

can’t spirit hound also hit twice for double the damage of spirit blast?
