wood is better ngl
Alr im ngl metal is good but u have to use it specifically (u can still out dps 9.9/10 builds with metal if built right also beam makes metal op its hits so hard and is really fast )theres alot of underated builds in general with ao that seem bad at first glance but if u try to take the bigger picture into account theres lots of niche and unique builds that are really good and bustedâŚ
Ash sailors for example is a really good build hits hard large aoe and has moderate speed
Imo before i judge whether a build is bad i go off what kind of niche strengths they have and how applicable they are
Glass is smaller and less damaging by a margin, ontop of having weaker resistance focus (Glassâs res focus used to REDUCE your HP) and Metal has better synergies
yeah but metal id cool
metals synergies are basically kinda outclassed by glass considering how similar they are
not to mention that glassâ ânegative debuffâ is extremely manageable in exchange for huge power
sandstone is cool with hybrids, since it actually changes the colour of the skill name to something interesting, while the rock and bedrock variant just make it a bit darker (we donât speak of soil)
Toiletus Flushert, the earth curse user.
Glass has very few synergies, being Melting, Corroding and Sandy
As someone who gets their ass beat by metal almost every time, I am in denial
Iâm running 40 power with paladin damage penalty so its even more ass⌠but at least 300 dize and almost 3k health
but why does metal get almost all the cool clash interactions? like the glowing metal blast if itâs hit with a heat based magic or the electrified blast if you hit it with lightning
probably because that would make it just slightly better and more interesting than just silly cubes magic
metal doesnât have very much either.
in fact both of them only have 4 10% boost interactions.
the only thing metal has over glass is that it has a positive matchup with crystal, but then again, so does earth and explosion.
pretty much every argument you can make for metal has a pretty easy and sadly very apparent way to counter it because metal is pretty lackluster
itâs funny to imagine this post a week after AO early access released, and how many people would just be saying that youâre insane
youâre so right tho LMAO
I know it sounds like absolute deranged blabber but when you really look at it metal just doesnât do anything that its competition canât do better

metal is hmm⌠other than clashing it is more iconic for damage, and it is uhh, more powerful in WoM
my reaction to this information
(yes its from release, but afaik metal definitely hasnt been nerfed to the point of being the worst magic available)
its not that itâs bad in the sense that itâs unusable, itâs âbadâ in the sense that its competition are logically just better options.
