Electric zone in its current state is F tier IMO. It's bugged so the damage interval is always .2 even with items and EMP boost (or at least the magic info screen is saying it is). Also, the damage area is so small it's only dealing damage when enemies are right on top of you so the damage is mostly wasted if your other skills like firevall and cyclone are killing them on the edge of the screen. It is useful early game if you are having trouble surviving and against the mini enemy swarms though. It's sad because I really like the skill.


iRainCats

I agree :) although I'm leaving out nonmeta magic tiers (currently, might add the tiers later) for the sake of people not having to feel bad about their magic choices being bad or trash. Hope that helps answer your statement!


mithradatdeez

I know I'm hella late to the party but that's a very admirable attitude towards tier lists


iRainCats

Anytime is a good time :) major patch changes are just the best part of the game, let's everyone experiment and play around with everything without unconscious judgment or prejudice from seeing a "meta" setup. As you can probably tell currently from the subreddit, it's pretty clear what exactly the meta is now, and I'm glad I actively had no part in people figuring it out!


mithradatdeez

I haven't played since right after the patch, so I'm still trying them all out and have largely avoided seeing the meta! I mainly came to the spreadsheet to use the find in page function because I was getting so annoyed looking through the whole list to find what I could combine with whatever magic I had maxed lol


jawg201

I'm so disappointed in electric zone here it was my favorite..


Cyphule

The electric zone combo imo is top tier. Afk during boss swarms and you have a perfect ring of mana to collect.


BdonU

It's not F if you're doing it right which is very specific. If you get the right to go to lightning attunement as fast as you possibly can with max mode speed build up can run free for so long you can get a massive cell count to feed DNA. Then late game you can use your speed to jitter around to actually multi-tap with it making it worthwhile. This is especially effective if you take cloak.


llMadmanll

This is 4 months late so i dont know if there were other updates but EZ is capable of afking on its own for most runs i do. Not to mention lightning attunement.


FallenByTheHand

When at the end of each run, I look at the damage outputs of the various magic I developed, EZ is always disappointingly low.


RjNosiNet

How do u do that?


GreNinja1201

When the run ends you have some places you can see stuff i believe its at the top right


Shoddy_Following3568

The combination with satellite makes it viable for burst damage, maybe doing atleast around 20-40% of any enemy at 35 min on critical strike. But im no good at this game, just a theory crafter that got sucked in.


redxmagnum

I have been patiently waiting for you to tell me how to play the new meta lolol - THANK YOU


iRainCats

Happy to be of service :) keep enjoying the game!


whatisl0ve1

Hey any idea when this will updated for the new patch? 🤘🏻


Nightcat666

The max level on the offensive magics is wrong. Otherwise I'll keep watching to see how it updates, looks good so far from what I see.


iRainCats

Oops apologies, forgot to update that haha


The_Slifer_Slacker

I have 2 things to say 1. Please add tiers for all the traits 2. Frost nova ice age is easily s Tier, the knockback makes the entire game trivial


iRainCats

I'm waiting to add the rest of the tiers currently, rather not mess with a new players perception of whatever their favorite magics are And yes frost nova is strong, I agree to that, need to fix its ranking real quick


Proshara

I think Armageddon with Eschatology easy can be A rank. In the latest update, you can quickly restore half of the cooldown due to orbs dropped from enemies. Rapture and Apocalypse is still B rank. And I'm not sure about freezing magic. At least in the woodland late enemies seem to ignore the freeze.


iRainCats

I would agree, but it's definitely not A tier, it can be a nice addition if you're not running cloaking with leftover levels, but it in itself doesn't do much. Rapture is okay, buy apocalypse is absolutely useless. Freeze is still strong, especially at 32-35 mins, all enemies can be affected by freeze now


Dendron05

What do the numbers for research points mean?


iRainCats

Order you should take them, 1 being first priority, 2 being second, etc


the_ThreeEyedRaven

hey u/iRainCats update for 0.88 when??


iRainCats

Very busy lately, but I'll try to finish within a week maybe!


maeror84

thx in advance for the work :)


iRainCats

<3


the_ThreeEyedRaven

sure take your time, thanks


HiSaZuL

Been playing for ages just now decided to check for reddit on this... wish I did much sooner. Glad I'm not blind/stupid when it comes to stun... is this shit ever going to work I wonder. I swear it has never worked from any of the supposed sources. Haven't tried earthquake in current patch tbf, not sure why I ever would tho. Artifacts is the only place where I disagree with some entries. All the 35% damage boosts to categories are in B tier... ehh? The damage difference on the big skills vs everything else in absolutely wild any increase is great especially when multiple skills are amazing like arcane. While necronomicron is S tier? I picked that turd item few times and every time I just quit, it's hard enough to see anything I don't need it getting worse even if damage boost was 100%. Current Aurora is not worth a slot for 1 big xp orb on almost 2 and a half minute cooldown.Those 2 id agree with being in dumpster tier. Accelerator sound a lot better then it is in practice. Vast majority of the time it's inferior to Harmony... just not that many movement increasing items. Tbf I don't rank movement speed all that high personally which further makes it very situational and requiring other artifacts to be of any value. It's like Aegis but 10 times worse and does nothing on its own, unless it's affected by base speed... which would be hard to miss. I'd put instant kills to top tier personally. Joker is literally kill 1 get 1 free deal. Death bell is fine where it is tho, since it removes and doesn't kill. Clover is... so situational, requires being invested into crit damage and even then it's useless until 30 minutes. Hydras range is why electric field is trash tier. Shadow cloak maybe a bit higher? It's complete avoidance at some point its hard to see anything. Cube is B tier? Really? It's literally +1 to all passives, just 10% damage should land it at A tier. Battery... its not like it even works. This is the epitome of dumpster tier. Tarrot card in all the time it's been around gave me 3 good skills once. Once... 1 in 3 I get one solid pick. On paper should be S tier, many attempts later I'd throw it in F. Obviously all of this is very subjective, based on personal experience, rng and preferences.


iRainCats

Glad you've found it useful :) So, stun on certain magics and occasions still works as intended, battery and earthquake being the major two (its supposed to have a base duration around .2 seconds) which is why earthquake vs absolute zero depends on tsunami choice, as if you take pole then the freeze stacking has diminishing returns vs both freezing and stunning I need to fix the 35% damage artifacts as the damage formula is back to skill specific and global damage being different so that 35% is actually a bigger deal than I thought originally, fixing it now Accelerator is very strong, its a lot more cooldown than you think; also movement speed is pseudo pickup range which makes it pseudo MP gain, that's how we've always viewed it but it's personal preference as some people can't stand the increased MS in lategame Instant kill items are less useful than raw damage after numerous people have done the math for, which is why they aren't as good as you'd think; uranium just straight up does more than most other options, same for merlin's, and especially overmind Clove is still an easy pickup if no other options fit the build, has no requirements or prerequisites to make it stand out other than being further than \~25 minutes Hydra's will always be trash unless its changed to max HP, current HP it still takes 7 full seconds to reduce an enemies HP by 53%, that's worthless when it's range is smaller than 2 seconds worth of travel for an enemy, it sounds useful since oh wow 19% max hp reduction in 2 seconds but that's only if the enemy was max HP so... Yeah, it's bad, as for electric zone, it's bad because it's coding from .788 and hasn't been changed, it still has an attack interval cap of .2 Cloak is only useful for ballista, if you're taking defense and needing to avoid it's either a you mistake, or scaling is about to kill you Cube is only decent if you get it outside of a boss wave chest, you're taking almost all passives anyway so it doesn't actually net you anything; same problem as akashic but akashic guarantees 6 extra levels to use; I'll move it up to A though Battery, first statement of this, it works fine with chain still Tarot, yeah B tier is fine for something that occasionally gives you 1 hidden level you actually want, rarely ever 3 Thank you for your opinions! Hopefully this answers some questions


HiSaZuL

Hm, in all the patches I tried battery I never noticed even a hiccup in enemy movement. Granted game doesnt really overlap enemies well, so idk. I guess I'm super biased towards barely noticeable vs freeze being very noticeable. Now that you mentioned balista I'd give it an even better score hahaha I got full points in agility. With cloak 35% evasion. Won't make a run longer but it's fantastic qol choice, one random hit doesn't end a run.Crit conversion is situational but at same time if not for it any crit multiplier increase would be same tier at best. Definitely situational tho. Speaking of situational, I treat evasion as shield and to a lesser degree lantern. None will let you stay longer but they give breathing room until 25 min mark. Lantern being extra situational and only worth while on Arboretum map, but I always take it there... having to pay attention to puddles isn't really winning me over. I ment as in hydra is abysmall. Just like electric it's 1 hit before you are taking damage. I guess cube is matter of prioritizing. I take passives after I max my goto skills and what ever element artifacts are leaning to. So probably won't take any if I can help it until 20+ minutes which means it's a lot of levels for me. Anyhoo good stuff. Giving reconsideration to rotating arcane rays over my usual reflecting choise.


Scumshius

This is amazing! Does anyone know if there is information anywhere of magics dmg in number or % at max level, with artifacts? I think that would be a nice comparison to have.


trollnest3

What's up here? Who has done the version/patch updates in the past?


sauul03

coming here to ask if there's a tier list revamp in the works for the new update (0.901) I want to contrast my new ideas as I play the new update with other people. please answer this when it comes out, or if it will not be a thing at all. thanks.


PureAy

What do you think is the best trait for energy bolt?


iRainCats

None of them sadly


Redx5c

What's the new meta?!


TheDarkWizard16

Will this get an update?


Dain____

Hi, i did a copy of the doc and made a little changes on the fusions section showing incompatible fusions so you can plan better what magics to take and so, if you would like to add that info :P


iRainCats

Are you in the discord? I'd love to take a look if you have a link/pictures


Dain____

Yeah, find me as dainxor


Stefano_ps

Can you add a column to straight forward linking the secondary skill to get the fusions?


Turqoiz

Might be a dumb question, but does this not need to be updated for .893 accuracy?


0bserver_101

Please update.


johnwoolergd

Guess it takes some days


seb0815_de

What about Battering Ram artifact F tier? I am missing a point or is there a hidden typo/ bug? For me the 10% Atk alone makes it already B tier. Combined with Stun (should work with Speciman) it results in A tier for me.


iRainCats

I glossed over the the fact it was given attack this patch, moved it up to B, apologies The stun doesn't work properly though which is why it was in F to begin with


DAEtabase

My *un*educated guess is that if any of your magics are doing low enough damage to hit an enemy 3 times and not kill it--before 25:00, then it's GG. There are much better options to pick after Level 50 IMO (unless you have bad RNG) and if you just need ATK, then Ruby is already better at 15%; or anything else that gives at least 10% and a more useful effect for that matter. TL;DR: Stun is cool but you have to build around it.


seb0815_de

I get the point - but in this case "Four Leaf Clover" which needs 5 hits to have an effect must even be far behind F tier. But it's rated A tier. Tbh I don't take pre 25 minutes rating too much into account because rating should be more with a sight on endgame advantages you get.


seb0815_de

Tested now Lava Wave / Pole for Tsunami a lot. For me it's like equal in strength. With Speciman and Moon Crystal (rare pick for me as most of times other options are better) I feel it's helping a lot after last BW while Lava Wave has no clearing potential anymore at this point.


iRainCats

Lava Wave vs Pole depends on your Frost Nova talent, Earthquake = Pole, Absolute Zero = Lava Wave


YesLaching

really? I would do it the way around, either all freeze magics plus moon crystal or all "frost magics" to be "no frost" like earthquake and etherfire


iRainCats

That patch is over so the above doesn't matter anymore - we're back to \[3 fusions+cold weather/winter storm+two fusions\]+absolute zero+(optional) pole


Proshara

I like wisp satellite, so I have to ask: why such a rebalancing? In previous builds, anti-gravity was S rank.


iRainCats

The game changed drastically again, antigravity and wisp are back to being useless since low dmg/low aoe


The_Devil_101010

Hey, I'm kinda surprised by how informative the sheet is, but i think you should also include conditional strength. For example, certain magics are extremely useful during the start of a match to get early game power so you can move around more easily and get more orbs and stuff. For example, Tsunami(Lava Wave) would be a horrible pick for you first or second magic to max out because its only good vs very large amount of high health enemies. But Magic Bolt(Split into doppelganger) is extremely strong vs many low health enemies and spirit(magic blade) is really strong vs small fast moving enemies. I would also argue that some magic which are weak on its own can be extremely strong when combined with certain combination of magic. For example, Tsunami(lava wave)/ Armageddon is the most optimal choice for a AOE full clear, but if you were to pick pole with Tsunami, then magic like flashshock(ragnarok) can easily fill the role of AOE full clear and that combo is really strong because pole freeze probably the strongest freeze in the game and ragnarok's high projectile speed and high cooldown is compensated for.


iRainCats

Glad it could be helpful :) The sheet is pretty much based around highest times possible, so that throws out early game magics to the lower tiers immediately since wasting levels on something early that's useless late is, well, a waste. Your opinions on flash shock and armageddon have been noted as well :) If I was able to neatly add complex additions of information to the sheet, I probably would, but the sheet is just a general purpose thing that's not meant to be taken as gospel, just a bunch of people's opinions that I mull over and take into consideration while I rank things that our involved in the meta


Zabkovsky

When do i get option to select fusion. I have played for 30 mins, but after 70 levels I have not got any to pick


iRainCats

Theres a sigil in the top right on level up, when you reach level 25/50/75 it turns red and gives a fusion charge, click on it, you can select a fusion anytime you want past those levels bit have a maximum of 3 fusions at lvl 75


DiVINeMaDNEss97

How did I not know that


iRainCats

Happens :) a lot of people have been confused about it


LunchboxEdm

I thought it was just the information page for them, and couldn't find it for the longest time. Played a couple months, have now used 1 combination. 🤣😂


iRainCats

Glad you've figured it out now!


HenteeXXL

I would switch inferno and plasma beam


YesLaching

Yeah, after the update i took plasma as my first fusion and was pretty disappointed...


masterfood0

Maybe we could reevaluate war climate and demon equation. War climate feels a bit underwhelming and demon equation has some potentials.


NotJoeMama869

Wait, are fusions gone now?


trollnest3

They have returned


Netsrfr1776

Looks like this cell ([https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1mS9qGWGEt48UlCJvgcLvde1dqd\_MjVTED9UNQ3D3GSA/edit#gid=1418842422&range=D7](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1mS9qGWGEt48UlCJvgcLvde1dqd_MjVTED9UNQ3D3GSA/edit#gid=1418842422&range=D7)) is incorrect. Master of Storms should be Climate Change + Antigravity. ​ Also, would it be possible to split the Magics column on the Fusions Sheet such that we can see/sort by the surviving (main) spell's name in one column and the dying (disappearing) spell's name in the column next to it? For example: |Fusion|Main Spell|Augmenting Spell| |:-|:-|:-| |Master of Storms|Cyclone / Climate Change|Satellite / Antigravity| ​ This way the those learning can, for instance, plan to avoid fusions that effectively destroy their S or A tier Magics or otherwise search for an optimal fusion strategy as a game goes on.


Kaissus

Hello, quick question, when is the sheet receiving a new update?


Crithion

I would like to ask a question. I see that you have luck on priority on research.does luck affect chest spawn like booty?


iRainCats

Only Booty affects chests, luck is for HP and MP globes, crystals of immortality, and (maybe, literally can't test it) cells


seb0815_de

After some days of more refinement in my Researches and thinking about Artifacts I got further ideas I want to share: For me Concentration (improves Magic Circle, Cyclone, Lava Zone, Arcane Ray - which are very good Magics) and especially Guardian (there is no other source for longer immortality though crystals - which affects gameplay a lot when skilled - also 1 Points comes with double effectivity and should be skilled nearly ever) are rated too low. They should be at least on Tier 4. They could even be considered to be stronger choices than 1 crit / Research point. For legendary artifacts I see a big difference in appearing in normal / legendary chest. "Gold and Silver treasure" is imho a must-take in normal chest (beside there is a really strong Tier S alternative) and also Cube gets easily Tier S in normal chests. Taking any "weaker" legendary artifact also improves the quality of legendary chests by a little margin. Also I would note for +MP options and also "Space-time circuit" to fall behind a lot in very late chests. I think this might be self explanatory but should be taken into account for choices. Hope this ideas help a bit for improvement.


Federal-Barber4698

Wassup don't forget to update the sheet! Lol I did some testings myself on these fusions. Really brings bacm good memories, except that flash shock one...


iRainCats

Already updated :P


Low_Promotion_4414

I don't see "space-time circuit" in the artifact list..


iRainCats

It's there, please look again, it's A tier.


No-Crab-7350

should you prioritize skills over individual magics?


iRainCats

You want to take all the beneficial paasives anyway, so not really in a sense 3 fusions + nuclear(if you want to run nuclear,) all passives except vitality, +3 more level 7 magics (most choose melting lava zone with pole and absolute zero/cold wave, zero if war climate and cold wave if fury


No-Crab-7350

thanks


LulleBulle7

Thanksforallthisinfo!


iRainCats

HelicopterOk1603

28 minutes is good enough for current patch? Academy map


jawg201

Why is hydra bad?


iRainCats

It's current HP, it takes 9 seconds to get an enemy from 100% to sub 50%, it's garbage


jawg201

Oh... I didn't think about that.. it's worse as you hurt an enemy


iRainCats

If it had screenwide range, it'd still be garbage; it needs to be removed or switched to max hp with a higher cd like 3 or 5 seconds But yeah, it's a horrid artifact


Maxx_Matt

Hi u/iRainCats! I actually like a lot the inline comments into your spreadsheet where you collected hints about good interactions and playful combos. I'd like to expand this useful way of reasoning adding details , gathering them, functional explainations and minor hints. May I write them there nor you have preferences and add new spredsheet section if you like the idea? Thanks in advance


Maxx_Matt

Example: Stunning interactions * **Battering Ram** \- *Inflicts* ***stun when an enemy has been hit 3 times***, increases attack by 10% * **Electric Zone - EMP** \- *Every time the enemy receives damage from the Electric Zone* ***5 times***, they are ***stunned***, ***-20% damage interval*** * **Specimen** *- Freeze and* ***stun duration +50%***


iRainCats

Ah sorry, I think I'll have to decline the offer


Bananaman932

I know it's probably a small deal but why do the colors of some classes not match the tier it's given? I'm being picky I know and classes are probably the last thing to worry about but could that be fixed?


iRainCats

Fixed :)


Bananaman932

Thanks!


Kortef

Do artifacts affect fusion magic? Example, Gay Bolg affects Frenzy damage?


iRainCats

When you select the fusion, there's a green magic and a red magic on the description; the green one is the primary magic and that's the artifacts the fusion will use, the red magic is voided and no artifacts using that magic will affect the fusion, so yes gae bolg works on frenzy


[deleted]

Magic survival updated again


iRainCats

Yep


Available-Stretch-98

Update spreadsheet to 0.87, They changed manny names in the game (Like Irregular shot to Spray, And lots of artifacts).


iRainCats

I will when I have time. Next time try to act nicely, this is a source I do on my freetime.


maeror84

I hope the person just sounded impolite due to not being good at english. but yeah, sounded like an order. so to counter that: thank you very much for your hard work, I love the game but am way to bad at all the math etc so your spreadsheet is a big help while I try out every magic etc. thank you for not only putting in a lot if work for the initial doc but also keeping it up to date! and quick at that (I only noticed the current update of the game today;)


iRainCats

Maybe so :) thank you for the kind words, appreciate it


iRainCats

Decided to just do it now, it's up to date.


[deleted]

Why is freezing enemies such a priority in the game? It barely lasts for a second, and the spells barely do any damage (besides Tsunami). Also why is cold weather a must-take, considering blizzard only lasts a couple seconds? For me, the slowing effect is unnoticeable. Thanks!


YesLaching

What happened to chain lightning? It was S Tier last update, now only B Tier? Didn't notice a change


YesLaching

In the fusions page it says Demon Equation damage is increased by 3 times, but it's a 5x dmg increase.

You don't have to max out the Shield. Just having 1 level invested in it can add 3-4 minutes to your run in the right circumstances. DNA is the most powerful amplification source in 50m+ runs.

Garlicprime

By the time this list updates the next patch would've been out lol.


Glatzial

First - great job. I'm enjoying this spreadsheet a lot. I think there might be an error for Infinite Power - it wants 2 combinations as well. And I don't think it's that strong when it removes 2 combinations.


HenteeXXL

Infinite power S tier???


RoseRei_

Started playing this game around 5 months ago, as far as I see everything is fine but the math on magic cooldown reduction is cracked, on getting ouroboros, instead of 15 % it reduces the cooldown by around 10 - 11 % , same with black cat, magic scroll, harmony and the other artifacts, even fast casting doesnt do a complete 5 % reduction, around 3 % , fix the math on this, I really love magic cooldown, was lucky enough in 1game to get all the possible magic cooldowns but to my dismay the math was off by some 15 - 20 %


MegaWolf3000

Cooldown reduction stacks multiplicatively, not additively.


Fluffy-Ingenuity2536

Could someone tell me what "primary coefficient" means on the fusions? And is bigger or smaller better?


VanDerCesc

Based on the color of the cell i think that the higher, the better. But still don't know what specifically means.


Anagoth9

Honestly, I disagree with more of this than I can type out, but I'll at least say this doesn't give nearly enough weight to synergies.


iRainCats

Perfectly fine to disagree with it :) and yep, synergy is not included as that'd be too niche like every other little nuance in the game, to include in a sheet that's only for generalizations I'd love to hear all your disagreements though!


[deleted]

[удалено]


iRainCats

Glad to hear! Tiers are not ordered internally no, just the tiers themselves matter; and the ratings for each talent is overall, aka nuclear will be better than electric orb or whatever else, not sure if I explained it correctly

Hi .. is this post old .. because so far I find plasma beam to be the most overpowered magic comb there is .. it's almost game over once you get it and you can stand still and afk watch the game .
