if you think metal is so good then I want you to name literally 1 actual advantage over earth that isn’t “oh it can consistently proc bleed more” or how it deals “”“more”“” damage (even though earth can capitalize off of bleed far more effectively) or how it clashes better (because clashing is irrelevant)
ur not gonna listen if i did 
like you answered ur own question but ur choosing to ignore all those points
exactly, you have nothing.
quit your bluffs and accept the truth 
There, you brought two advantages. Metal can bleed stack (it’s bugged) if used with abilities that already bleed, such as weapons.
It doesn’t have a bleed synergy anymore, though bleeding is +25% overall damage compared to a +10% synergy. Impact damage isn’t everything, check Poison magic.
okay fair enough, metal can apply bleed easier.
but what if I told you there’s these 2 funky lil worms who can do this job except inarguably significantly better? and they come with their own unique advantages that overshine metal too?
geniune question do u actually pvp?
yes
and I’ve gotten my ass kicked by wood mage far more than I’d like to admit 
i see
weirdly enough I’ve never seen a glass mage
though I see pvp clips of em all the time and they’re scary
Both of these magics are great for bleeding combos, I can’t deny that (I use Glass as a secondary magic). Metal is better as a primary magic in that regard (discounting Arcanium stat stick)
On the topic of Metal being “worst”.
Statistically, it’s the BEST, but its low speed really hinders its usage on 1v1 PvP and makes it the worst alongside Crystal as landing hits is hard and even if you land them, you’ll need 300+ attack speed to not get “endlag-demoned” (it’s better on world PvP)
reading this I think I’ve seen some new points brought up
metal is definitely a nuisance to deal with on world and map PvP due to it’s pretty loud and annoying effects with the lag, but on the arena, basically anyone with good enough prediction capability can quite literally punish you to no end.
(also not to mention that earth mage is this but arguably even worse to deal with lmao)
now I’d argue crystal is in the “meh” spot because it has a pretty good status effect but I can see where you’re heading with there too
lets just face it metal is mid and WoM metal is better
Ash having lower base damage is made up for its insane area denial, making it one of the best magics to pair with Size (bigger clouds = more area denied)
A 10% difference might be huge…
If they were actually fast
Both are just easy to parry
Ok thats cool there are better magics than metal
Now please explain what this has to do with earth being better
because earth has its own very noticeable advantages than metal (even if it isn’t through bleed)
i mean 10% speed is not really shit considering they still both move about as fast as the loomian legacy dev team
okay just for that I’m gonna let you win this argument LMFAOOO
the time in between ll updates is comparable to new deltarune chapters
