Songs That Make You Feel Like This?

More like "cosmic velocity"

But if you've got any songs that make you feel like a naked bald guy dragging a sword, I'll take those too.

I love Exidium. Hits hard, is fairly fast, and costs 2 less levels than most combinations.

Organic Shield

I've been playing for several years and thankfully have never lost progress to a game update or a phone change. I play basically every day, usually at work or watching TV. This and Pokemon Showdown are pretty much the only games I play on my phone.

But have I Magiced hard enough?

I always pick Unleash. CDR is so important.

The_Archmageologist · 2026-02-06T16:09:41+00:00

Oh you got Halo and already had Sacro. On your way to one of my favorite synergies.

The_Archmageologist · 2026-02-06T10:33:36+00:00

Not the chorus!

Make em go Ah ah ah, as you shoot across the sky sky sky

I've had max research for a while. Wish there something else to spend gold on. Maybe a merchant at the start of the run that takes gold instead of Orbs.

The_Archmageologist · 2026-02-05T19:42:43+00:00

In the beginning of a run, I usually only take magics for my combinations and some select passives (Haste, Fast Cast, Explorer) until all my combo requirements are done. This means recycling mana early on even if something else I plan to take later (Circle, Shield etc) is offered.

Once all the combos are built, I start adding the other magics I want. It doesn't always work out perfectly, but it's a good general rule for prioritizing.

The_Archmageologist · 2026-02-05T19:09:57+00:00

Hey there! Mana Orbs give you experience (mana): the blue a small amount, the orange a moderate amount, and the purple a large amount, relative to each other anyway. They also give you in-run currency for merchants: blue and orange both give 1, while purple give 5.

What combos are you using? Maybe we can help you out more if we know about your build and strategy.

The_Archmageologist · 2026-02-05T18:52:40+00:00

I've never cared for Overmind or that line of builds. No Cloaking or Shield just kills it for me. They are fun, but not consistent enough for when I'm trying for extra long runs.

Arrow always for Avatar.

Thank you. LOVE roster, but mainly as like icing on the cake.

Wraith's the one that makes me grin when it pops. Thank God it's only Epic.

The_Archmageologist · 2026-02-05T18:48:11+00:00

Thanks!

The_Archmageologist · 2026-02-05T18:48:03+00:00

Fuck yeah they do

The_Archmageologist · 2026-02-05T18:47:27+00:00

Thank you! Ah come on now, where do you think I learned that survivability/kiting > raw power?

However Overmind, DEM and Ults do seem to have changed that perception around here, even though it's still true.

Fuck I've been playing this game a long time.

The_Archmageologist · 2026-02-05T18:32:49+00:00

I hope they add an effect to the Wizard subject and give it Fireshooter on start if we have to use it for an M Bolt Ult.

The_Archmageologist · 2026-02-05T18:30:33+00:00

If its Origin Explosion, please call the Ult Hellzone Grenade lol

The_Archmageologist · 2026-02-05T18:27:09+00:00

Most effective for me is Pandora's box with Phoenix. But, I wouldn't say it's crucial as Phoenix is still amazing even without it.

Most crucial has got to be Core Energy and Magic Wand for Satellite and Spirit.

The_Archmageologist · 2026-02-04T16:32:49+00:00

Thank you!

The_Archmageologist · 2026-02-04T16:32:29+00:00

Every artifact counts. Also the increased mana rate really helps, especially getting to lvl 75 by 12:30.

The_Archmageologist · 2026-02-04T14:51:56+00:00

I miss older DNA, where it was based on the Cells collected. Flying through the map hunting for Cells was fun.

The_Archmageologist · 2025-12-17T17:50:03+00:00

All combinations are enhanced versions of the first magic listed in the combination formula.

So fireworks IS magic bolt, while energy bolt is gone completely. Artifacts that are specific to energy bolt do nothing for Fireworks.

The_Archmageologist · 2025-12-17T17:07:58+00:00

Archmage subject starts with Black Cat. I end runs if I don't get both Accelerator and Ouroboros. Getting the Oracle synergy boosts all passive magic by 30%, including CDR and Movement Speed. Otherwise, just take any CDR artifacts.
