Well, the idea is simple. Aether’s not just natually good with a long windup, but it’s instead fairly below average when uncharged, but powerful when charged.
This is explained by imbued Aether in Triasta of Bronze having 0.9x damage, 1.1x speed, and 1.1x size. Additionally, some of Calvus’ weaker attacks aren’t charged, and his massive iconic pillar explosion of death can be launched without being charged if you hit him first, for much less damage.
soooo your theory is literally just that it has a higher power curve on charging? Which is at the moment completely unprovable since it exists only on a boss atm?
I can see it, that’d be kinda cool but I think it would be an underpowered gimmick compared to other lost magics, since charging is so unviable right now. Maybe if Aether has both charred for synergies and the charging gimmick, that might be enough for it to be good.
Oh wow, the daily Hyperspace and Stock argument. What’ll the next one be about, how KitKats should be eaten? Who can be seen as less annoying faster? You two seem like the people who take sentences like “I love pancakes” and respond with “So you hate waffles?” for the sake of a small ego-boost on Twitter.
Anyway, Evander looks cool. Wonder if he’ll use a Fighting Style too or just his greatsword. Speaking of which, I kind of wish that it was named the same as his title, although that might cause some confusion with his armorsets also having that little detail.
