I think the real best magic was the arcane adventure we made along this adventure story, All while traveling this beutiful world of magic in the arcane odyssey
I think you should consider plasma magic, it has decent size and speed and while the base damage is underwhelming, the DoT makes up for it because it only takes 3 seconds to deal the rest of the damage which leaves you with more than 1.0x damage Plus, it also has self synergy and in the combat balancing doc the speed is being buffed + purple variation looks sick
I had shadow on one of my savefiles. I can guarantee i had the best time of my life playing mage in Arcane Odyssey with shadow. Sure, it isn't the best on one category, but it's the only one that can help you experiment. It's faster than most, it's small, all things considered, but nothing a sunken armor or a calvus set can't fix, and it's damage is on the better side. Overall, if i want to recomend a magic to a newb, i would recomend shadow. P.S. The ones who say shadow is for edgelords only are just haters. They are conjurers that kill left and right and think Crystal Iron Leg is a disease. It's just a moveset for a savefile.
I agree with shadow. Shadow is really underated for how strong it is. It has everything u want/need so it's no wonder it's getting a slight speed nerf but it'll still be broken
Personally for DoT, Acid is my go-to, it's just the fact that "Corroding" deals 50% extra damage dealt on your skills over time, AND the synergy with bleed makes the DoT just insane, not to mention that Corrosion doesn't remove bleed, so you basically have 2 DoT at a time, so Acid and Glass is a good bet imo.
Exactly why i went with Acid Conjurer for my build! I love standing back a bit in fights, so getting a hit in that deals both Bleeding and Corroding really helps.
My main build is Warlock since day 1. I've been using Ash Magic and Thermo since the game came out and it has served me very well. My armor set is Sunken Chestplate, Cernyx's Pants, Cernyx's Faulds, Arcsphere, Fair Power Amulet; 4x Strong 1x Hard 1580 HP, 75 Damage, 36 Attack Size, 40 Attack Speed. Not only that, due to the coming bug fix for the Petrified synnergy, I'll finally be able to do the full damage because I do 190 damage with my 90% Explosion Size Blast Spell and 100% Size Shot Technique. I can use a combo like Crash + Slam Smash (2 hit) to do about 600-ish Damage in 1 go due to Petrified and since Burning is being fixed with Petrified I'll finally be able to apply the DoT when Petrified is on cooldown for 12 seconds. 0.8 Seconds is enough for me to get full advantage of the Petrified stun effect.
I know this is a slightly old video, but why not Glass? It has 1.1x size, 1x speed with 0.9x damage as base, and then bleed DoT. Not to mention it also getting a damage buff from its own bleed. It still seems pretty solid from the times I've used it, though. Don't know if it could be considered on par with the last 3 you mentioned but I feel like it could at least be a better contender than Water.
i think plasma is one of the best if not the best because of its synergys, plasma has 1.3 speed, so no need to worry about that, it has average size and it makes up for the damage with its DOT, you can use it with explosion as secondary (so you get to use the shapes to make good blasts on plasma) and use explosion explosions, or go for poison as secondary. plasma explosion is a very solid standard mage, big aoe, fast, good DOT, and can apply petrified (which i hope gets fixed/buffed) plasma poison is about doing a lot of poison clouds and then igniting them with plasma for crazy damage clouds, you now also have 2 really good DOTs
The problem with shadow thats not addressed in this video for mages is that it has no positive damage interactions; on a shadow mage you will cover all bases, but your potential dps is hindered greatly. Damage interactions are very important for a mage because they can make a magic's power scale so much higher that the other stats become insignificant. However, for conjurer your point still stands. Being that Conjurers do not have any difference in damage interaction between the magic they choose, shadow would be the best for it. Warlock does have damage interactions that make whether shadow would actually be the best questionable (such as crystal + iron leg, even though this wasn't an intended interaction). Shadow is still a safe bet for a warlock, but again you are limiting potential power scale.
Also dependent on skill and play style if I'm being honest if your good at parrying them you can afford to go close range and use high dmg attacks that would be slow. If your good at aiming and predicting movement you'll be a laser with light and guaranteed hits will be more frequent(cause blind). And yea so on
I remember how shitty plasma was in wom. 0.775x dmg, a dot which is just worse burning, small size and 1.1x speed. Now im glad it has 0.8x dmg, a much better dot, and speed standing at 1.3x which will outperform shadow when it gets 1.2x speed after the balance change.
i like poison because you get good dot and the poison *clouds* it leaves add for extra reliable damage without needing the enemy to actually touch the ground (arcane odyssey player's worst nightmare) and then, of course, you can synergize it with fire to create huge clouds areas of fire that light enemies, making poison x fire the ultimate arson mage build
Personally dot status effects aren't really effective since heal tanks the damage, ofc the anti heal helps however so poison doesn't work because of that, intensity doesn't even help, I hope that vetex just increases intensity's effect on status effects like reducing duration (this increases damage but reduces the duration, HOWEVER this would take over the natural healing being able to actually do damage)
Poison Warlock main here who uses intensity. You're looking at DoT status effects and intensity all wrong; for example, my poison isn't supposed to damage the enemy outright. It's supposed to reduce if not completely cancel their natural healing, and having a high duration for that gives me an advantage because I can run away and heal if I need to, without my enemy healing as well. Intensity reducing the duration of my poison to increase the damage would go against my build and -cowardly- defensive playstyle, and would force me to either drop my intensity or play more aggressively. Also, while this is unrelated, I tried throwing EVERYTHING into some mix of power and intensity once. The result was a single charged hit doing up to 1,113 damage, including DoT effects. Never talk to me or my magic ever again.
Ive been a shadow magic main since almost abt 2019 and I always thought every other magic was better until I actually tried them out and realized how much better shadow was from the others
if we have the best magic for mage, what is the worst magic (mage specifically)? for me, i find it to be light magic due to it having the worst damage and atk size of all magics, but im not sure if its truely the worst since it has the best speed out of all magics, and one of the magics that can only truely blind people (aka making them unable to see anything at all) but doesnt even work on NPCs and people who can still hit their attacks despite being blind.
no wonder why i made a 2nd account for cosplay in library of ruina using shadow magic and when i get back to metal for pvp i can no longer adjust and feel more confident in the speed and damage of shadow
For me my mage build consist of Sand first secondary lightning cause with sand it lacks overall speed but with lightning i can hit my targets faster but also keeping some of the missing damage due to its damage multiplier increase so im getting decent damage attack size for sand and the speed with lightning while receiving more damage i recommend full set calvus except crown with attack speed enchants and have hard enchants on arcsphere and power amulet to comp some missing health also for the mode do resistance
Plasma, Fire, and Lightning are all extremely easy to use and have similar or higher damage. Shadow has the sad flaw of having zero positive interactions, so it's not optimal for mage/warlock builds.
When I first started playing I chose dark magic because I’m not very good at combos, now I’m just trying to find another magic that’s good by itself because dark isn’t good at synergy
I think its up to the player, for me i just choose crystal because its the only that looks cool and has a green variant (i dont regret it but still dont know how to get the most of it as a conqueror)
You get a new file since synergies (which weren’t mentioned in the video) are a big deal with mages. For example, other than the damage boosts, freezing, petrification, and paralyzation are worth considering and Poison clouds can be set on fire with magics like Fire or Plasma.
Metal is the best magic. I wish i could say differently, but it really is. It has amazing clashes and is only weak to one type, unlike shadow, and is great with many magics, also unlike shadow. The only possible downside of metal is the speed, that is all.
this is true fighting elius is annoying and i beat him with shadow was overall good i tried this with other magics like earth metal and fire there was only 1 other magic that i used to beat elius with ease and that is poision so shadow and poision are the best magic
Idk, i mained snow magic in WoM and in arcane odyssey i went with either light or darkness. Im max level in both and i played both since pretty early aswell
Don't shadow lack elemental combo? that just turn it in to a worst magic for almost every build. Pure mage second magic become useless since you got nothing to proc. Conjurer want to proc thing with weapon (like sunken sword ice or lighning user) or just want a specific stats to boost (many people og light for the amazing attack speed it give). again, shadow being all around and having no synergie nerf it in that build. Warlock want to synergie with their style too, so that lock you into boxing or canon style. Shadow just good on paper imo
Totally off topic, but what stats would you recommend for warlord and conjurer My Warlord has 120 strength and 130 weapons, and is mostly reliant on damage and projectile speed. Is this considered a good usage of points? I also wanna go magma or poison Conjurer (Which magic do you recommend) and I wanna have 100 points in magic and the other 150 in weapons. What do you guys recommend for conjurerer
He forgot to consider many factors in this video, such as clashing rates, synergies (extremely important), and with how jack-of-all-trades-master-of-none things are, as the name states, not a master at anything. That last one means, among other things, that you can’t go for a build with a good theme to base combat tactics on such as Poison with something to light the clouds on fire.
Good idea. “A soldier worth the air they’re breathing can fight with any weapon.”-Sandor, Keeper of the Lost Cities. (If there are movies and Disney makes them, I have expectations lower than rock bottom, considering the Star Wars sequels.)
I was mildly interested in this, and then I realized this video was a total joke once I heard "Shadow is the best magic". I've rarely seen and even more rarely fought Shadow mages. The same goes for Shadow warlocks (usually the thermo fist kind). I haven't really fought Shadow conjurers, but they're out there. There's also all the random NPCs that fight using Shadow magic. And from experience, I can tell you with brutal honesty that I think Shadow is a bad magic. If it's a good magic, I'm not seeing it. There's the status effects to think about. Most magical status effects increase your total damage through DoT, and others like Light, Snow, and Sand may blind your enemies so they literally can't see anything after enough hits. Others still like Water have strong synergies with other magic such as Ice and Lightning to deal more damage and freeze and paralyze enemies respectively. And on top of all that, most of these magics are capable of cancelling other magical status effects out when charged up, such as water cancelling burning. There's also clash rates, where some magics are simply better than others, so when their attacks meet, only one gets through. (P.S: I feel like some if not a lot of these factors were ignored or glossed over in the video...) Shadow has none of that. Its status effect makes people colorblind and that's it. The only "synergy" it has is reducing the damage your target takes from light spells, and I don't even need to explain why that's unhelpful. It is stated by the wiki to be "vulnerable to all status effects", as charging it up removes NONE of them. And it generally has a poor clash rate, the wiki itself stating it "doesn't really have impressive clash rates", with the only magics it outright wins a clash against being Ash, Wind, Poison, Plasma, and Ice. The only good thing Shadow has going for it? Yes, it has balanced stats which aren't that bad in terms of overall power. But the thing is, balancing your stats is never good in these kinds of games. "Jack of all trades, master of none"; and that goes for combat, too. This whole video is just an elaborate troll to convince people to make bad fighting builds and waste their time. You want my advice for mage? Start with Metal. High power, good size, ridiculous clash rates (only loses to Magma), synergizes with just about EVERYTHING, has a good and easy-to-apply status effect, absorbs heat when clashing with fire-based magics to grow BIGGER, is a very heavy magic so it works amazingly with the Aura move, and is hated by nearly everyone for its strength; there's a reason it's called the meta magic. So what if you don't have high speed? You've got enough size to hit everything around you anyways, and it's not like you're gonna need that speed, unless you're planning on trying to hit people from island-to-island. You want a second magic to go with that once you get your awakening? Get Ice. I know it sounds unorthodox, but enemies don't need to be hit by water magic to get soaked; if the area is raining, or if it's a fight in the sea, enemies might find themselves getting soaked a lot from natural water, which makes it easy to pull off a freeze into a metal synergy that hurts a lot. Plus, Ice magic will let you create platforms of Ice in the water, which you can use to quite literally walk across the sea; no risk of drowning if you don't have your boat.
Aint reading allat but your argument is just the same as everyone elses "no positive interactions so it sucks" it really isnt the case shadow is straight up raw stats and that matters more unfortunately.
My brother in christ positive interactions and synergies are about 90% of magic-based playstyles, I can't tell you how few shadow users I meet and each and every one of them _dies with no diff_ The raw stats of Shadow are worse than you'd expect.
What's the purpose of the best magic? To make Online Fighting easier? No, it's because this Arcane Adventure is really hard, because the beautiful World of Magic is a cruel place, but the Arcane Odyssey is worth it. :)
Yeah i kinda diagree the effect is kinda useless. Speed doesnt really matter when you can have aoe the size of rasna and do 200 damage every rasna sized explosion. I still think metal is the best but i understand shadow being a strong contender its just the effect is kinda underwhelming
@@notenzo5743 I've literally tried fighting with metal mage in the current meta and anyone with a brain would punish you for using shockwaved explosions that have huge endlag. even with the speed invert bug on magic explosions. one poison dagger and you can kill someone spamming explosions.
Since i started to play arcane odyssey after i picked shadow and i tough i will be decent with this and now after watching this video im ameze thet i chose the best magic randomly
I think the real best magic was the arcane adventure we made along this adventure story, All while traveling this beutiful world of magic in the arcane odyssey
Lets not forget about all the online fighting we went through in this world of magic
This truly has been an arcane odyssey
I guess you could say this was a fun arcane adventure, inside this world of magic. this is truly an arcane oddysey

Plasma, Fire, and Lightning are all extremely easy to use and have similar or higher damage. Shadow has the sad flaw of having zero positive interactions, so it's not optimal for mage/warlock builds.
raw stats > positive interactions. there's a reason shadow is being nerfed and plasma being buffed.
interactions have been nerfed so raw stats takes the win
maybe the real best magic was the friends we made along the way
When I first started playing I chose dark magic because I’m not very good at combos, now I’m just trying to find another magic that’s good by itself because dark isn’t good at synergy
shadow is so all around the board regular its just fire without burn, plasma without scorch, etc
its just a jack of all trades master of none
i picked magma back in WOM due to its high clash rates, dunno how that fairs now but its still decent in other aspects.
i chose shadow thinking it was a mistake but then i realized i REALLY underutilize it
Wind all the way KB makes pulsar hit like 20 times and you can’t get hit with scream
I think its up to the player, for me i just choose crystal because its the only that looks cool and has a green variant (i dont regret it but still dont know how to get the most of it as a conqueror)

quick answer: "shadow is the best magic for any player thats looking to really start off as a mage"

its wind cus wind has step shadow has burst step is the same as burst but faster
What’s the best 2nd magic to pair with earth?
Whats the best duo magic combination for Paladin though? I use Metal for aura tankiness and idk what 2nd magic for dmg + speed and DOT synergy
What's the name of the song at the end, sounds lIke something from hotwheels mechanix moon base race.
I will just say use fire like it was made to be jack of all trades its fine and has some synergies

yeah sorry if the video was a drag for u
@ the video was fine it would of been nice to watch it at twice the max speed

There's the status effects to think about. Most magical status effects increase your total damage through DoT, and others like Light, Snow, and Sand may blind your enemies so they literally can't see anything after enough hits. Others still like Water have strong synergies with other magic such as Ice and Lightning to deal more damage and freeze and paralyze enemies respectively. And on top of all that, most of these magics are capable of cancelling other magical status effects out when charged up, such as water cancelling burning. There's also clash rates, where some magics are simply better than others, so when their attacks meet, only one gets through. (P.S: I feel like some if not a lot of these factors were ignored or glossed over in the video...)
Shadow has none of that. Its status effect makes people colorblind and that's it. The only "synergy" it has is reducing the damage your target takes from light spells, and I don't even need to explain why that's unhelpful. It is stated by the wiki to be "vulnerable to all status effects", as charging it up removes NONE of them. And it generally has a poor clash rate, the wiki itself stating it "doesn't really have impressive clash rates", with the only magics it outright wins a clash against being Ash, Wind, Poison, Plasma, and Ice.
The only good thing Shadow has going for it? Yes, it has balanced stats which aren't that bad in terms of overall power. But the thing is, balancing your stats is never good in these kinds of games. "Jack of all trades, master of none"; and that goes for combat, too. This whole video is just an elaborate troll to convince people to make bad fighting builds and waste their time.
You want my advice for mage? Start with Metal. High power, good size, ridiculous clash rates (only loses to Magma), synergizes with just about EVERYTHING, has a good and easy-to-apply status effect, absorbs heat when clashing with fire-based magics to grow BIGGER, is a very heavy magic so it works amazingly with the Aura move, and is hated by nearly everyone for its strength; there's a reason it's called the meta magic. So what if you don't have high speed? You've got enough size to hit everything around you anyways, and it's not like you're gonna need that speed, unless you're planning on trying to hit people from island-to-island.
You want a second magic to go with that once you get your awakening? Get Ice. I know it sounds unorthodox, but enemies don't need to be hit by water magic to get soaked; if the area is raining, or if it's a fight in the sea, enemies might find themselves getting soaked a lot from natural water, which makes it easy to pull off a freeze into a metal synergy that hurts a lot. Plus, Ice magic will let you create platforms of Ice in the water, which you can use to quite literally walk across the sea; no risk of drowning if you don't have your boat.
Aint reading allat but your argument is just the same as everyone elses "no positive interactions so it sucks" it really isnt the case shadow is straight up raw stats and that matters more unfortunately.
My brother in christ positive interactions and synergies are about 90% of magic-based playstyles, I can't tell you how few shadow users I meet and each and every one of them _dies with no diff_
The raw stats of Shadow are worse than you'd expect.
What's the purpose of the best magic? To make Online Fighting easier? No, it's because this Arcane Adventure is really hard, because the beautiful World of Magic is a cruel place, but the Arcane Odyssey is worth it. :)
Poison 😵💫😵💫😵💫
Max intensity wind 🗿🍷
Currently making a full magic size earth explosion build
Glass?
idk what yall talking about its wood quite clearly #woodsweep
Yo selectgoat do I go 150 weapon 100 light or 100 weapon and 150 light
Shadow wizard money gang (we love casting spells)
The true best magic for mages is metal and earth cause the damage is insane
Shadow does ~5% less damage but it is ~2x faster and around 13% smaller
goodluck hitting blasts tho
metal is garbag aftr the nerf lol its slow enough for a lvl 1 to dodge
Proceeds to die to a crystal warlock*
Lightning the goat
bro why did I chose water when shadow is literally better than water in every aspect except size (only 0.05 difference though)
better synergies
go ice or lightning secondary magic and have fun
@@madkingace1798 I went ice
best magic for warlock and conjurer?
this varies since synergies exist
@@Selectorch ok
@@ITT59Gamer try to pick magics that synergises with bleed like water, ice, fire, magma etc
There is no true best magic, it depends on the person using it
no some have better effects and dmg
Skill matters far more than the magic. To quote KOTLC, “Any soldier worth the air they’re breathing can fight with any weapon.”- Sandor
The edgelords stay winning
Or we can just say that all magics are good ?
why not lightning due to it has high stats and it stuns
is wind a good magic?
Yeah i kinda diagree the effect is kinda useless. Speed doesnt really matter when you can have aoe the size of rasna and do 200 damage every rasna sized explosion. I still think metal is the best but i understand shadow being a strong contender its just the effect is kinda underwhelming
you’re just going to get out damaged because of explosion endlag. metal is literal garbage for mage rn lmao
@@CynicaAO yk i rlly cant tell if ur joking OFC YOU DONT JUST STAND STILL AND USE IT
@@notenzo5743 I've literally tried fighting with metal mage in the current meta and anyone with a brain would punish you for using shockwaved explosions that have huge endlag. even with the speed invert bug on magic explosions. one poison dagger and you can kill someone spamming explosions.
@@cynicamane187 just stay somewhat far and u can still dodge even eith endlag or block if its undodgable
I pick plasma nova variant cuz it look cool
Best magic for mages.
Me who use 3 guns: ASSULT RIFLE!!
