The one true ao magic tierlist


disclaimer: the gap between tiers is very small
i think the magic balance is in a pretty good spot and all of these magics are more or less on the same tier depending on build and whatnot

Shadowwww :drooling_face:

let me fix it

guh youre going into the incinerator

putting acid and water in average tier is absolutely diabolical work

Put shadow at the bottom and bring up Plasma, then it’s the true tier list. Crystal slander WILL be tolerated (crystallized fucking sucks).

fr crystal is overrated just cus it gets a damage boost every few moves

the worst part is the god awful visuals

It’s only usually gonna be hit on grabs, so it’s a 33% boost to a single hit of a grab. It’s not even overrated, I’ve never seen a glazer. It needs a buff to be good, no synergies and a random 80% reduction with glass.

im going to kill you

why?
he’s right

Crystal DOES have horrible visuals, though. The only good looking ones are ruby and tourmaline. Even those are worse than something like Plasma (the best magic) or even Sh*dow.

Sand needs to get moved up.

It’s got the stats 0.975x damage, 0.95x speed, and 1.1x size, with some of the best synergies for a magic, as shown here:

. These, when combined, make it one of the most versatile magics in the game, being able to improve practically any imbuement’s damage. I’d say its biggest weakness would be being a worse fire, but this could change after the dot nerfs.

and while it doesent work anymore, sand-thermo used to be an absolute monster. the burning synergy combined with the high imbue just buffed thermos damage for no penalty (and it would weirdly stack burning sometimes)

with what? your blast i can dodge with a casual stroll?

my 300 attack speed metal mage in question

I’d swap ice and snow too, ice doesent do enough damage to compete with the other heavy magics.
