when array gets homing it probably wont be as bad as it is rn
Anyways, i seen another guy leave a comment about every part of this poll, and I’m going to do the same:
Best Magic - Plasma
Plasma glazer lore. Originally, I answered this as poison as i assumed it went for “best designed” magic, and not “strongest” magic.
Worst Magic - Snow
I hate snow and dont know why, it just looks like its awful to use and is useless to the far superior ice.
Favorite - Plasma
Plasma Glazer lore (2); anyways i love energy, i probably would’ve gone with ice if not for plasma. Energies are cool 
Least Favorite - Snow
I still hate snow for no real reason.
Over-rated - Lightning
Easy tie between Lighting and Metal. Lighting sometimes feels like Plasma but worse (idk why, it just does), and Metal overshadows the way superior earth.
Under-rated - Wood
Honestly could be a tie between Wood, Ash, and Sand. all of which are good magics and I will fight for them on behalf of the people who realize their potential.
Best Visuals - Ash
I just like them, black and red is cool.
Worst Visuals - Plasma
I yearn for the day we get an overhaul like how fire did. I’d imagine better for a magic representing over-energized gas, yet we get these weird ass circles. Shadow is also pretty wonky, but its darkness, which i’d imagine be quite hard to visually represent because its pitch black.
Best SFX - Plasma
I love the energized plasma sounds. I’d also like to put Fire up here, it sounds quite fervent.
Worst SFX - Glass?
I put glass here, but Glass represents itself pretty well. I dont really know what to put here. Its kinda loud, but lets not pretend like explosion is any quieter.
Best Magic Build - Conj
Conj/Mage tie. hard for me to say 100%, but i feel Conj edges over in this case, weapons can hit pretty damn hard, and we’ve got a lot of bleed synergy in magic. Once Full release comes out, its definetly going to be either Conj or Pala though.
Worst Magic Build - Paladin
Its Paladin. Dont listen to anybody saying Savant. Its Paladin; i am speaking from experience. is savant harder to use? yes. Is it worse than Paladin? no.
Favorite Magic Build - Paladin
Ok as bad as it is, the aura is awesome. Visually the best in the game; and it makes my magic look really cool.
Least Favorite Magic Build - Mage
I cant aim. Plasma hard carries me because its fast. Also i hate fighting mages, NPCS and Players.
Over-rated Magic Build - Conj
Conj and Mage again. I see more conj though, so yeah.
Under-rated Magic Build - Savant
Savant is actually pretty good. I cant put Paladin here, its incomplete which makes it very bad to use. Its ok, but being limited to like 6 magics because you need them to synergize with Lighting to even be remotely usable feels bad.
Best Spell - Beam
Need i say more?
Worst Spell - Array
I’ve never seen anybody use it, Even NPC’s dont touch this shitty spell. also whats with the snare hate? its unironically my favorite spell in some regards, easy to land, good damage, great punishing.
Magic Overall Rating - Neutral
Its the epicenter of the game. 90% of people who click a game named ARCANE Odyssey are going to expect Magic. Its the first choice you make in the game. Feels fair that its used quite frequently.
Magic Overall Balance
Magic is really strong because the Tool classes are incomplete. Once they’re finished, it’ll feel much fairer. That and Strength doesnt have as many options right now, so it feels a lot like magic is the only thing in this game we complain about.
Magic Wishes - More customization
I love customization, makes Magic/Strength feel unique. Other than that, i hope we get more interactions like PoisonCloud•Plasmoid.
Hecate Essence
Fuck the purple cloud, thanks for fixing some of its issues Moochez, thanks for adding it anyways Vetex. no hate Hecate, you just made the thing too hard to find.

what magic do you use
Plasma is my main.
My mage uses Ice, but i don’t have snare on them because Ice is a slow magic.
The balance catastrophy is exclusively Vetex’s fault
tis actually not that easy to land, duke
its hitbox is very buggy and just… wont 60% of the time
i speak from experience
one time when i used snare instead of hitting the guy i was aiming at point blank i hit a guy next to me
people have had bad range with snare?
I hit that spell and it feels like it shouldn’t have.
Its hitbox is probably quite buggy, but i cant tell if thats latency or just the hitbox for snare, but personally, I’ve often ended up just chasing people down with snare when my aim fails.
I would love a strength poll
