Theyre kinda bad rn. But will be obsolete when second magic comes out. I don’t want it to be obsolete as I wanna be edgy with shadow magic. So I was thinking of synergies these could have. I was thinking of other really bad magics and got poison. So maybe shadow and poison do a thing?
main Ideas:
Glass and lightning could have some synergy cuz glass magnifies the strength of light?
Shadow and Fire to make shadow flame, a more intense fire
Shadow and posion to makestronger posion? idk theyre btoh bad wanna make them better
If you like it or have any add ons pls let me know. I dont have enough trust to post in game ideas so yeah
poison is proably the only synerfy with shadow, They same the same theme. lightning could work, but not glass. Maybe for clashing tho? The same way fire makes poison explode?
100th Shadow + Light synergy suggestion. Not even in #suggestions, as per usual.
You aren’t special. There’s a reason why none of these types of threads ever get any attention.
And that’s because they’re fuckingstupid
Shadow and Light on their own are already fantastic magics, with high base stats and reliable damage. Shadow especially, with the recent nerfs to other magics making it a “meta” magic. And Light being basically just a guaranteed hit, despite its low damage.
Giving them interactions would basically make then downright broken
Might be just because I fought a Light user with spot on aim but nah Light is still pretty good right now just solely from the speed, you can supply strong 100% blast spam and your opponent basically just has to perfect block, clash, or take it, I’d say it’s probably B or even A tier just solely for that aspect alone. Clashing happens in fights and is something to consider, however the game still seems to be in a state where clashing will at most give you a few hits per fight. So I’d say though that does take Light down a bit you still have to look into the stats, the speed imo makes up for its lack of size currently, as a Lightning user it’s extremely easy to hit shots just from blast spamming from ranges where any other magic would just be using beams, and Light can cover that role better. The major downfall of Light is that it does no damage compared to most other magics, which is why I would say it probably isn’t as good as something like Shadow.
Inevitably those gaping flaws will make a very strong impact in the future, especially with how strong solids are right now and how Light interacts with nothing, however we still have blind to look forward to with lost spells making it easier (multihitting spells like the lock-on blast and barrage will make this severe) but that’s Light’s only saving grace, which is pretty significant but at the same time you NEED a lost spell for this. I’d say magics like Plasma and Fire are probably C tier if we’re gonna use tiering, they basically are just slow versions of Paper with bleed clearing, but they have strong interactions and will improve with time.
The problem I have with light is you’re effectively forced to run power for it to actually do any significant damage.
You could say this applies to most magics, but light is one of the ones that need it.
Most I can do with a 20% blast is 111.
My 100% pillars do 64/5.
The damage is completely insignificant without any power.
I wasn’t putting this in suggestions because I don’t have the required points and the point of this thread was to come up with possible changes to the magics to make them better and more balanced. Please read the post next time I didn’t even mention shadow + light. I was trying to find shadow and light and find synergies for both with underused magics, like poison. I hope you understand why I made this and I hope you read the threads before posting.
The thing is, Shadow and Light are no synergy magics and are supposed to be like that.
They’re really really good on their own, they don’t need a synergy, thus allowing you to use most magics with them.
I think shadow and light are currently pretty balanced, but would be nice if they got some synergy with other magics by the time 2nd magic update is out.
They would probably still be balanced even without synergy though.
