Is explosion magic a good magic at all?

Is explosion magic good or bad?

its alright
20 characters

It really is not good, it has bad speed and bad damage, the only thing that “benefits” it, so to speak, is that it has the greatest destruction of the environment of all, and “benefits” because that statistic is really not very useful

But it has good synergies with some magic, which can save it

not by itself, its great with fire and/or ash though

I’m pretty sure gold causes more destruction than explosion, so, really it’s not the best at anything.
Vetex probably should buff it’s destruction rate to be the highest of all magics, else, why not just use plasma or gold instead?

That is true. Iron and gold have the highest destruction stats, which is very surprising.
Although the Destruction stats difference between explosion and iron, gold is only 0.18

It’s more overrated than anything.
It specializes mainly in the destruction stat, which is only good if you’re:
A: Going for a Destructive Negative Rep playthrough
or
B: just hecking around.
Some people do say that it has a greater AOE because of this, but it’s just… Meh.
It’s slow and it’s arguably one of the most uninspired magic types in the game (seriously, an explosion magic type?). Just go with Fire or something.

I agree, explosion magic is kind of really just a gimmick magic with not much to it. It’s not even the best at the thing players would want to use it for!

Explosion magic needs a buff.

I’d be hopeful that explosion magic charm lies in its ultimate art where it’s literal nuke. Fingers crossed.

I’d argue that only having good ultimate arts isn’t good enough.
Gold magic will probably have overall better ultimates due to dealing way more damage and having a higher destruction stat.

If you really think about it gold is just explosion but better. :frowning:

i use explosion magic anyway cause it looks cool :sunglasses:
people say it’s terrible but i’ve really never had a problem with using it, i can consistently win 1v1s against people with “top tier” magic’s. i don’t think it’s that bad, but i also don’t see a lot of people using it

personally,i wouldnt say its good but its not bad.its actually kind of above average for me,partially because if you land a lot of hits in a row,the charred effect really blinds them,like REALLY blinds them,which opens up opportunites like placed explosions or a single finishing blast.just my opinion,however.

Pretty good. I really depends on how you use it

explosion has the highest destruction stat of all the magics lol

its good i guess if you’re aiming to be a more up close and tankish build, not for range and mainly goes good with max defense, but if ur goal is to hit from long range, get something faster

Explosion magic is fine where it is, people who are saying that it needs a buff have never fought a max level explosion user. Its not as strong as plasma or magic but its clash ratings and destructive power compensate for that IMO.

yes,yes,YES THANK YOU for understanding.finally.finally,someone who understands.

Incorrect.

The destuction multiplier on explosion is 2.0, while both iron and gold have 2.18.

They have to buff it. Atleast when we get ultimate art its gonna be nuke (I hope).

dunno if you’re basing that off of some chart or something but it probably isnt accurate lol
