idk what polemos’s deal is but i still think magic has a physical form that can cause damage
All I can find about how Polemos handled magic is one thing from the AR wiki(not completely trustworthy I know) saying the stuff about him being immune to magic is just rumors, and then a quote from tech calling Polemos a glass cannon who can’t take many hits, so think of that what you will
idk… I mean i thought the only way it could hurt u is if u had magic energy too
that’s just why magics that would normally be weaker like wind are able to do a good amount of damage
atk size + atk speed:
This is how he handled magic energy, he’s not actually immune but effectively is
He no diffed Cthulhu who was supposed to be an endgame level boss for AA that never made it
One punchhh!!!
Ok so his resistance to magic comes from training for thirty years and gaining the ability to punch through it. I don’t think he really benefits the argument of no magic energy = effective immunity to most magic attacks
There’s a lot of characters who train longer with magic (magic literally extends lifespan and magic fist exists) so why can’t they do it
And why are his punches on par with at least the weaker of the eleven unknowns when he has no magic if that’s purely a detriment (he’s still weaker than a lot of magic users tho, not in AP but durability if he gets hit)
It’s still weird to talk about Polemos tho cause of the retcon where strong fs users all imbue trace amounts of magic at a certain point while Polemos was stated to not use magic and couldn’t touch curse users despite him being one of the strongest fs users
(He could punch through curse users like magic but they’d just reform since it still counts as a physical attack)
maybe the seven seas just don’t have aura like the war seas do
yeah that makes sense, war seas is more magically advanced after all
It’s subconcious after a certain point in strength, not a learned thing (AO mc accelerated by poseidon essence or whatever), it’s just a retcon in general
Around the same time durza was stated to be able to reflex into 30+ curses at once and polemos’ hand would get fucked for punching him but later on vet said absorption curse doesn’t have reflex and then now it’s in a superstate of does and doesn’t
like dodge reflexes? that’s a strange decision, wonder what’s stopping them from doing it
curse reflex (logia reflex)
It also used to be involuntary but I think it was changed to curse users train to master it
i think he mightve been talking about the absorption curse itself, not including any elemental curses durza mightve absorbed
he says he practiced his art specifically so clearly there’s something specific he’s doing that you don’t achieve in just general training.
Correlation isn’t causation so this isn’t really proof of anything. If anything its more likely that his art he’s been working on for 30 years is what allows him to do that rather than any sort of special trait. Especially when its been said that magic trumps all and people who can’t use it are top 15 at best.
That said I did want to ask if its said he has no magic energy or just said that he has no magic. Because if it’s just said he has no magic than I’m pretty sure its just means he can’t use magic like casting spells and such. Plus with Vetex saying every person has magic energy I do find it hard to believe he doesn’t have any either.
Thats if its only stated that he “has no magic” if its said that he has no magic energy then ignore all this.
His art is just boxing lol
Many many people practice boxing and it was said he couldn’t harm curse users because he had no magic (this is retconned as now all living things need magic to live so it’s unknown if he can harm curse users now or just doesn’t have aura)
