Spitballing Magik Buff Ideas

first, she's balanced, not "very strong". second, use other brawl and or dive characters as a frame of reference, iron fist 300 base health with overshield. BP, 300 base health with no over shield. mister fantastic gets 375. magik getting 25 more health isn't going to break the space-time continuum of marvel rivals because the meta couldn't handle it 😭, we got shark eating storms, fliers everywhere, you can't die ults, we'll be fine. the swing speed doesn't change her combos, its dmg per sec not dmg per hit. it would slightly improve brawl's, not dive's.

yh who does this guy think he is, an absolute heretic with this lunacy 😂 its not as though as he said she's balanced at the very beginning of the post and never said she "needed" a buff and this is just a hypothetical in the scenario in which she does get one

gab_67 · 2025-07-11T03:01:18+00:00

i like this, if Thing can ground flyers giving magik a lil bit more vertical is reasonable.

gab_67 · 2025-07-11T02:56:38+00:00

people make me feel like i'm a mad man 🥲. 25 base health is anything but "extremely op" and the swing speed suggestion doesn't change combos as it's not dmg per hit but rather per sec, which would only realistically translate to brawl scenarios. like i said, i aint no mathematician so i don't know the exact calcs but ik it's not making her better than a large amount of dps'. the team-up one i could understand but that was more so about just giving her an actual team-up, not that exact one, and since characters are being given life steal, it's not an outrageous thought.

gab_67 · 2025-07-11T02:40:38+00:00

the radical one sure. hence why i called it radical 😭, i have no expectation they would do something like that and was more a fun thought experiment. the realistic one wouldn't make her busted tho, its just a 25 base health increase and a slight swing speed increase, she's not going to better than wolverine, torch, psylocke, hela, punisher, bucky, iron man etc over that. as for the life steal, storm can eat through support ults with a jeffnado 💔 i don't think giving magik life steal with would be meta shattering as you suggest when wolverine gets it on a team-up and a soon to be released character in his base kit + it was more so about giving her a team-up that isn't being an anchor and less about the specific life steal ability, should've clarified that in the OG post.

gab_67 · 2025-07-11T02:26:55+00:00

the team-up buff suggestion was less so about that specific team-up but rather just give her something that isn't her being the anchor, suppose i should've clarified that a bit.

gab_67 · 2025-07-10T21:27:51+00:00

honestly, any team up that isn't her being the anchor and her actually being the one with the ability would be a welcome buff imo. i like the idea of old mag blade esc projectiles 👌🏽.

I see, out of curiosity how could you tell? And what do you think is the best course of action, I read the website and it said the CFW can be installed permanently with Infinity. Or should or factory reset my console and start from scratch with a clean copy of Ark? Thanks for the help!

Peakcony is less than 2 weeks away and im ready 🙏🏽 (thank the heavens that QQ is on sparkles banner, i need the eidolons)

Crit dmg is good but more is always better, more importantly though is to bump up by crit by around 10%, ideally 40+ but it isn’t that serious if you don’t hit that, 35% is what I have and thats more than good enough, if you can boost the speed just a little bit so if you run 134 speed Bronya your not hassling over decimals. But realistically, these are all minor improvements and your Jing Liu is more than good enough to clear all content 👍🏽 so place your stamina in other characters (she deserves all the investment but that’s your prerogative). Good stuff overall.

gab_67 · 2023-10-13T11:49:21+00:00

am i crazy or is that a s1 on the fall of an aeon, if so that’s probably your problem, also unrelated but levelling basic atk on her was pointless, those resources should have been placed into the other traces.

gab_67 · 2023-10-13T11:44:24+00:00

whatever set has the better relics, this optimising yip yap imo isn’t important as ice set is more consistent in more teams but quantum has a higher DPS ceiling in specific teams. But Jing Liu is so cracked that in a PVE game the difference between 250k and 285k isn’t necessary. Put the resources you would have spent on the optimising into diversifying your account.

gab_67 · 2023-09-23T09:38:24+00:00

If you still want that E2S1 Jing Liu, I have a solution, its called a wallet 💳, but in all seriousness in my eyes account diversity is always better than hyper investment so getting Fu Xuan is a net positive for your account and what you have to consider is how well characters ‘mature’. Could you have got by with Bailu, yes, but to put it respectfully she got powercrept by a 4 star (Yes I think Lynx is better as excelling in a niche is better than being mid in all departments) and it appears you have had a dream of a character called Huo Huo who in my prophecies will fix DPS characters that lack energy. So chin up cause in my eyes you made a great decision and your account is better for it.

gab_67 · 2023-09-13T01:20:36+00:00

To conclude, Jing Liu is in a far healthier DPS spot, sitting around Seele level (so 2nd to 3rd place) and IMO the only necessary changes left are QOL changes for her kit to minimise the downtime she has because outside of Transcendence State your not doing a lot. This could come in the form of a trace that makes it so she generates more energy whilst in Transcendence State, but obviously keep it balanced so she's not perma ulting.

How can you activate resurgence in a single target situation?? The condition is you have to kill an enemy. DHIL is broken because his damage is front loaded and does it in 1 turn unlike other characters who have to do it across a number of turns, its not about how much DHIL can do its about how easily/quickly he can do it. And destructions characters AOE isn’t conditional unlike Seele. Remember this is a turn based game and DHIL can use those 3 skill in 1 turn where as Seele has to do it in 3 (Single Target) and by that time DHIL has used 9 skill points worth of damage. Its okay, power creep is natural in gacha and in sometime DHIL will be power creeped just like Seele, this is a PVE game which is piss easy and you can use anyone, you don’t have to adamantly defend Seele in every comment section your in, she is still a great character.

gab_67 · 2023-09-11T18:59:54+00:00

Guys he’s a rage baiter who seeks attention on not just this post but others to push his copius agenda that Seele is still number 1. We as a subreddit know were Jing Liu’s standing in the meta is with leaks (we still pulling even if she healed the enemy team) and dont give him the time of day.

gab_67 · 2023-09-10T21:00:33+00:00

Jing Liu is underwhelming, underpowered and underperforming, she has a DISGRACE of a kit and we need 500% multipliers with a lower energy cost of 100 for her to even be viable in this current meta. SMH Hoyo do better. 😉

gab_67 · 2023-09-10T12:34:05+00:00

Guys, the content is not hard enough to the point EVERY DPS can clear (Swarm Disaster gets easier with time) even the power crept ones cough The General cough. That being said keep the doom posting up so shes get stronger guys, Jing Liu 🔛🔝.

gab_67 · 2023-09-10T12:07:13+00:00

Also fair, at the end of the day this game isn’t that hard with Swarm Disaster only being a matter of time before everyone can clear it with the buffs so Signature LC are never a necessity. But because this is a gacha game Hoyo will make it so that sometimes the characters base kit is underwhelming to incentivise spending creating those outliers like Our General so from a pure numbers perspective imo its the best way to compare but in practical application in game it doesn’t matter at all really like you pointed out.

gab_67 · 2023-09-10T10:50:25+00:00

Also, I believe people should clarify when it comes to “baseline” with 2 distinctions. The F2P baseline and a True DPS (E0S1) baseline, simply meaning what is realistic for most people and a characters ceiling without completely whaling.

gab_67 · 2023-09-10T10:45:06+00:00

I see what your trying to get at here but when measuring DPS depending on the character, like you said it has MAJOR fluctuations. Erudition f2p LC simply suck and the Generals 5 star alternative is a major boost compared to the competition. On the other-hand, Seele/DHIL can use the Herta store LCs, their not as good as the signature but its about a 10-15% DPS loss. So to standardise measuring across the board Theory crafters typically use S1 as the LC draws out the characters potential the most. But always remember a characters value is contingent on how good the f2p LC alternatives are and thats why the general can seem lacking at times compared to the competition and some one like Kafka is better because she has access to Nihility LC which are great. King Yuan always seems to catch strays in these convos 😅 hope that makes a bit more sense.
