What do yall think of the new wallaru spells?

[@Eric007]

Well, with a spellement path, you can't pre enchant it and put it in your side deck for the deckathelon strat, sooo I'll just stick 7 pip aoe + deckathelon deck + beastmoon elixirs.

[@user-tu7kn9ug7s]

Why is nobody talking about the elephant in the room for PVE? Getting a first round school pip when anyone in your team has a higher rating than you you will not get one.

[@hexed7917]

Simply trash for lvl 170.

[@harelib11]

yet again, death is the weakest spell

[@slickity]

I think balances is the worst because by the time you can get 2 school pips you’ll have enough pips for nova.

[@sabercat5490]

​@@YuhPaul the school isnt unusable its just tediuous to play as Balance. Its a very niche school but to that i say this is why moon should be a thing.

[@FuriousFanBoy-]

i also think the other atral schools coudl be a thing other than enchants and auras@@sabercat5490

[@feyernightblade2050]

Yeah but you can frenzy > serpent > sandstorm which would overall do more damage

[@nr.7136]

⁠@@feyernightblade2050true, however almost every minion dies with a frenzy and a nova, that way you save one turn, a bit of time and potentially health.

[@IrrelevantOaf]

That balance spell is the biggest piece of garbage. No one is gonna run it over just power nova besides for the style points. It needs a rework.

[@ASD_OW]

Dude as a balance this sucks... We got the only AOE that cant be used round 1

[@jaskaransidhu5120]

It's kinda insane just how far ahead the storm spell is from the fire one. Even though usually it's not that bad

[@tomgardy5033]

They don't know how to balancer the dpp, fire is now closer to ice than storm....

[@2BsWraith]

@@tomgardy5033 deserved tbh,

[@hueningbahibitch]

​@@2BsWraithhow is that deserved?

[@kevinolteanu5282]

@@hueningbahibitch because storm is the glass cannon school of the game and yet the past few years fire got more hp more dmg more dps more mana more survivability and better spells than storm, it essentially destroyed any reason to pick storm over fire because fire did EVERYTHING better, bring that back down to what it was before where fire is the balance between tankiness and damage, not a huge amount of both. Imagine being an ice but getting outtanked by a fire, or being a storm and getting outdamaged by a fire, or a myth getting literally outeverything'd by a fire. Someone's fav school in KI is obviously fire

[@hueningbahibitch]

@@kevinolteanu5282 fire is literally one of the worst schools rn after ice but sure

[@Alckee6904]

Idk about these spells, way too much going on. I know the theme has been “school mashup” but I feel no school identity.

[@thomasdoggy1]

Facts they tossed school identity when dual schooling came out I miss if you wanted to use another school it was a small demerit by using a mastery amulet but it was at least a cost

[@DanielJohnson-yn7un]

Frost giant should go from 460 to 550 to have a little more competition with the other 7 pip spells

[@asiatage4587]

I'm really sick of the balance gimmick. I get that it's the "school of all schools" but if the idea is to give every school an upgraded turn one aoe, then balance should be included. If I have to wait till second round, why wouldn't I just click my supernova that has 200 more base damage?

[@IshDaBoi]

I don't think you can say that this fixes death, life, and Ice's aoe problem (life and death being that their 4 pip aoe are both lore spells) when you don't get these spells until level 170...

[@sabercat5490]

And if u could possiblely give the Spellements to low level wozard i.e om the same account that will only be for people who are 170. Also keep in mind KI did say we can learn all so maybe during battle we alzo get spellements for the other school.

[@nyxvirus3830]

School pips are also not guaranteed round one. Enemies OR teammates having higher archmastery will make you need ti wait. The dragoon amulets will most likely remain life & death’s best questing aoe.

[@shadowscurse6199]

well technically, you could learn the spells on lower levels, as long as you get a high level to drop enough for other characters

[@TheUltimateRare]

the level isn't the issue, as you can get max level pretty easy, it's not challenge content like raids and challenge mode so it's pretty free to get these if you are high level. do these hit all enemies at once? that's pretty interesting. I can see some of them being amazing depending on how many pips you have left.

[@IshDaBoi]

@@TheUltimateRare Personally I believe the level IS the issue, for people (myself included) that don't have a lot of time to play the game getting max level can take ages. It has taken me months just to get my fire to level 100 let alone 170. This can take even longer for the schools without good aoe's which these new spells are "Supposed" to fix that problem.

[@Max-lc1sg]

I like the idea to bring new aoe's to phase out the spells we get almost 150 levels prior, it makes sense from a power creep standpoint. However, I would have preferred new 7 pip aoe's because they are used much more widely.

[@BlueSparxLPs]

I think sometime recently they said they were going to audit the 7 pip spells again since they were made intentionally overpowered and they realized it was a mistake to do so. I imagine once that audit happens, these new AoE will objectively be better than all 7 pip options.

[@TheUltimateRare]

I hope they make 7 pip spells kinda average spells so that new stuff is actually better than the old stuff.

[@davwigglesworth]

2:04 You got the pronunciation right 8:42 It Count Croakula, Croak as in Frog’s croak 9:47 you forgot Reindeer Knight/Deer Knight

[@Balila_balbal_loki]

No one will use the balance spell because you can't first turn cast it. So you will end up using nova because you need 2 turns to cast the 5 pip balance, basically the balance spell isn't usable.

[@2BsWraith]

Loving that storm spell, ive always dual schooled storm death and this is just making my favorite combo even better

[@coleybrown178]

Finally balance got the coolest animated spell and it's sick

[@ValToadstool]

The balance spell is good but notably cannot be used first round

[@AwesomeTheSauce]

that is a very good point!

[@TheUltimateRare]

yeah but i imagine no one will use the balance one for fast fights. They'll use it to clean up mobs in a fast fight against bosses.

[@zdhv5]

Power Nova > Rainbow serpent. Just wait 2 turn and use with Power nova.

[@Chickpeas951]

so simple to fix the old ice aoe, if target is immune to stun, xy instead

[@martinbrennan4017]

I like the death spell because it gives more reason for the drain path of sof. As you now have a damage drain and dot turn one aoe

[@jaschyns]

The direction this game took after karamelle is disgusting

[@onerooboi]

The fact storm gets a mini storm lord damage card is really confusing.

[@sabercat5490]

I mean just use one for the utility and the other for raw damage.

[@onerooboi]

@@sabercat5490 yeah but the thing is, it's turn one, doing 900 dmg. Which Is just 90 less or 80. Storm doesn't need uli bc it has dmg in pve, they will always one shot. These spells were to replace the basic aoe's. Not give storm a 1 turn storm lord

[@hueningbahibitch]

​@@onerooboiit balanced though, it's worth 6 pips of damage and doesn't have an aoe stun. Storm lord still has way higher value

[@dylanhope3252]

My biggest issue with the new spells is their usability. Even in Novus, my fire is still using Fire Dragon and Meteor. Why? Because they’re not tedious to use, and are still good damage-wise. For these new spells that require other school pips, you have to remember to set your archmastery to that specific school prior to a battle, or it’s going to take another round to use it.

[@prathamvankar2401]

facts. Every mob fight i just enchant fire dragon, sharpened fire blade then hit for like 3.7k and 1k per overtime. much more efficient than these

[@TheUltimateRare]

that's a balancing problem not a new spell problem. We should be asking them to make the new spells the same as the old ones, but at the same time... they should have more damage per pip than the old ones because they require a school pip. School pips should add an extra 30 damage per pip. @@prathamvankar2401

[@MultiMwhahahaha]

Idk the spells for all schools however you can pre set your archmastery pip in your spell deck. That should let you use the new spells turn one

[@TheUltimateRare]

unless you are with other players and it removes your school pip chance. since you lose 100% school pips if you are with other players. hopefully someday they rework that and rebalance it to not affect your chances anymore.@@MultiMwhahahaha

[@parkerkronen6631]

Hopefully the alternate path makes Balance’s somewhat usable

[@TimeforBatman]

seeing you run a filled deck hurts my soul

[@shortpettite]

Oh forgot to comment this after I finished video lol. With Death and Life specifically it's nice that they are finally given a low pip AOE. For the longest time the only way a death could get a low pip AOE was to farm/craft Deer Knight. It wasn't until much later that life was given Rat but again they had to farm/craft their low pip AOE. The other schools were just given theirs (Blizzard, Meteor, Tempest, etc) and always thought it was a little unfair.

[@cartersmith2156]

I wish they fixed these new aoes to stick with what the schools known for. Like death. Maybe take away 50-90 damage but make it a drain. Fire I wish it was like dragon. Make the first hit do 450 and then have an attached 250 over time or something. I just feel like all the schools are slowly becoming the same thing. Just adds character to the spells and might make some of them good for even 1v1 pvp

[@MindbenderTTV]

As a storm main for the past 14 years, I am happy with where storm is. I know there was a switch, turning Fire as the best PVE school right behind Storm a while back. I am happy to see that in the last couple of years they have reverted storm to being the top tier PVE school. I don't PVP ever, but I totally enjoy farming in PVE. I have to admit I have been slacking on my pets, but I always spam the game for 1 month after a new world comes out to get my gear and quests done. Then I don't play for 1 year. It is unbelieveble to me that the last standing video game from my childhood has celebrated its 15th birthday. Many players are even younger than that.

[@zacharysolano6375]

“This is the best AOE storm got since storm lord” Glowbug: am I a joke to you?

[@MightyDantheman]

Yeah, but you need a shadow pip for that. These spells are mainly useful just for low cost aoe, and also mainly in PvE. Shadow spells are good too, but they have their own dynamic.

[@itscalebgreen]

@@MightyDanthemanyeah but with the new shadow jewels they will actually be far more reliable

[@MightyDantheman]

@@itscalebgreen Always turn 1 reliable? I haven't seen the new things, so I'm not sure.

so life does same damage as death god help this fkn game.

tasmania is a state in australia im glad they out that in

[@androgynouslibra7607]

I'm just surprised they didn't add any special utility to any of the new spells. Just damage

[@Iamdecaptain]

Well based on their usual minion work we can all expect to be disappointed soon🤷🏾‍♂️

[@sana8087]

as an australian i do hope they do wallaru right so far they have done it well by making the dreaktime god in the balance spell really powerful. i hope they capture the creulty done by the british and the aboriginal culture correctly and appropriately

[@XxDaReaper613xX]

anyone else realizing that all the shadow spells are showing as costing 2 shads

[@terrybarnes8386]

I know school pips are like power pips but the spells are technically a 3 pip (1 pip for Balance) AoE not a 5 pip, because once you use it and grab a mana wisp it's going to give you 1 mana for Balance or 3 mana instead of 5 mana. I say this cause I use Ship of Fools and I only get 2 mana back instead of 4 mana.

[@megaboy300]

none of them are marked no pvp, I wonder if that changes.

[@mechominecraft]

Looks like they are going away from shadow pips

[@gabrielsarduyfranco2758]

There is absolutely no reason to use the balance one. At the time you get 2 school pips you can nova and do way more damage and these new spells are only good first round.

[@voiceoftheknight1939]

Once again KI proving they favor storm, fire and life

[@hueningbahibitch]

They all need buffs

[@sana8087]

the rainbow serpent is a dream time god thats why the balance spell is stronger. They would make a god stronger

[@DanielJohnson-yn7un]

They need to buff allot of ice aoes

[@markoliver314]

sound of musicology is the best aoe in the game

[@kevinwu6556]

imo as an ice, that new spell ain't worth, cause why waste a slot for an enchant when i can do a little less dmg using ice wyvern (dragoon)?

[@sunbert2041]

idk you may like more resist stats and health from amulet and a faster spell

[@hexed7917]

Am I the only one that is hella dissappointed with the new spells?Myth one is terribly terrible, there 0 myth identity on it. Not to mention that is just a monkey that holds a fire stick, and does the worst aoe dmg for myth. Its so confusing because the fire part is the main part instead of the secondary part. Which makes it seem like a fire spell with a myth symbol on it just indicate is a myth spell xD KI is better on releasing new packs than making spells for the game, that spells meant to be the identity of W101. This is what KI was preparing for us for a year... Reach lvl 170 as an achievement and get those terrible spells.

[@hueningbahibitch]

The balance one is dookie wys

[@shortpettite]

I haven't finished but here is the thing about myth. If you are in a group everyone is just going to first round their 4 pip AOE. If not in a group they will likely buff one round then use 7. Believe it or not I wanna use other spells. Sometimes I do just for funsies during dailies. Myth's other AOEs there was no point. For Earthquake because 6 pips, less damage, and it removes everything so if in a group all the buffs they might have added. For Mytic Collosus and Tatzlewurm again both do less damage and on top of that have to wait for a shadow pip to even use it. All this being said, it would have been nice if these new AOEs were made worth using for everyone.

[@Empriction]

Fire one is the MOST DISAPPOINTING animation wise.

[@uvixivu]

nuh uh

[@tomgardy5033]

and damage wise

[@Empriction]

@@tomgardy5033 i mean damage wise its the strongest spell second to storm. But I agree, it should've been at least closer to storm one.

[@tannercarlson7419]

The balance one is one of the coolest but also the most useless (in a first hit spell point of view)

[@uiucchemistry2664]

The takeaway is that only Storm got a good deal on their new 5 pip aoe. On average, storm’s dragoon aoe has lower dpp than enchanted max spellement Wallaru aoe until you hit the very top end of storm dragoon aoe (755/4 = 188.75 dpp which is slightly better than 925/5 = 185 dpp). Otherwise, all the other Wallaru aoes dpp wise are inferior since they’re less spammable & require set up via enchantments & max spellements. Do the math dpp-wise by dividing the dragoon aoe low end vs max spellements path 300 enchanted Wallaru aoe and you’ll see dragoon aoe is superior in every way. If you want a bigger burst damage hit, then it’s always better to buff turn one into your 7 pip aoe turn two.

[@elegantwizard9670]

You'll need to elaborate further, the fire and ice one both seem very good.

[@uiucchemistry2664]

⁠@@elegantwizard9670For fire, the max spellements path Wallaru aoe is 505 base damage & with a +300 enchant the damage is now 805 damage. 805 damage divided by 5 pips to cast the spell (mind you that you need a life pip to cast the spell) is 161 damage per pip. Fire’s dragoon 4 pip aoe does 680-720 damage (doesn’t matter that it’s not PvP allowed since this is a PvE discussion). 680 damage (the very lowest end of the range you could hit) divided by 4 pips to cast the spell (no school pip required either) is 170 damage per pip. If you get the high end for fire’s dragoon aoe of 720 damage and divide that by 4 pips you get 180 damage per pip. So fire’s dragoon aoe for 4 pip has 170-180 dpp on one card is vastly superior to the fire Wallaru aoe that requires 1) grinding to get enough spellements to reach max tier path & 2) a +300 enchantment to reach full potential which takes up more deck space when trying to quest solo or quickly (small decks are more efficient & better for mobs & sometimes bosses) & 3) requires a school pip to set up which you may or may not get first turn depending on your archmastery rating & prohibits you from using other pips you may want to choose for other spells all because you want to cast that Wallaru aoe for less dpp & less spammability. If you like the 805 damage burst, it’ll likely not be enough to kill mobs turn one in Wallaru depending on your damage, pierce, crit and the mobs resist, shields, crit block so if you can’t kill turn one, it’s better to buff yourself into your 7 pip aoe to kill turn two. The same analysis applies for ice too.

[@dasheesh3461]

Yeah and balance really got shafted with the 2 different school pips. There is zero use for this spell when powernova exists.

[@uiucchemistry2664]

@@dasheesh3461 Exactly! Spot-on. 2 years of useless spells for balance (Novus & Wallaru now). Last time we got something decent was in Lemuria which also was a shadow pip spell mind you, not this school pip garbage.

[@elegantwizard9670]

@@uiucchemistry2664 So what you're saying is they're all bad because they have slightly less DPP than the dragoon amulet? Which storm isn't even always more DPP depending on where it lands in the range. It's not really a great argument considering tempest has lower DPP than many AOEs and gets used a lot. It depends on the situation mostly but for fire and ice the DPP is not that much lower especially if you use a +315 enchant on them for mob clears. It can be used round one and will deal more damage anyways because it is one more pip. With all that in mind. You get more pierce and critical seeing as you can throw out the dragoon amulet for the superior stat amulet fly gob. Plus your argument is down the drain when you consider why people use stormlord when dragoon has way higher DPP. As for ice it's even better for them than fire. It's going to be used by these schools for sure.

[@franknic3989]

I agree with what you said on balance’s aoe. Everyone that doesn’t like the new spell needs to remember several things: 1) like you said in the video, you can turn 1 blade into a turn 2 hit with the new spell and then turn 3 sandstorm immediately after (yielding a lot more effective damage than just blading and using power nova). Yes, the damage on power nova is more than both of those spells. But I think what people are forgetting is that stats on enemies are only going to get higher. Having more frequent hitting may be the way to go on this, especially in cases where even power nova isn’t enough to kill. 2) these spells I believe are to be better utilized as quick aoes to use for raids (since they banned dragoon amulet spells). This applies to all spells, but it explains why the damage might be more lackluster than it actually is. I’d like to think that KI realized just how overtuned these aoes actually were upon release and tuned down these new spells to compensate for raids being too difficult without them but also didn’t want something with ridiculous damage per pip. 3 (and a bit smaller of a point here)) these spells can be spammed at higher pip totals (this also applies to all schools but still). While powernova can only be used twice at max pips, the new spell can be used 4 times in a row from max pips (14->9, 11->6, 8->3, 5->0. Also, this is assuming you get perfect pip rng with conserving and power pips). 4) if the spellements for these spells are anything like the novus spells, then there will be opportunity to train and use these aoes for secondary schools to combat certain enemy resistances. Balance will likely be a popular one due to the nature of balance shields not existing. Couple this with the (I think) upcoming jewel audit and stronger pierce/damage pins, and I think the balance aoe can be used on every school, not just balance (of course everyone might just use the storm aoe anyways, but again, if novus enemies tell us anything, the devs might just make certain enemies that resist heavy into storm anyways). 5) something I saw in a comment under another video made me come back to this one with how good of an idea this was. With how powerful dual schooling is becoming, the devs may be inclined to start making wands with school pips instead of normal power pips. If this were the case, balance feasibly could have a turn 1 aoe anyways (assuming they get school pips on those wands that complement the new aoe). While I don’t think this aoe is perfect per se, it does have viability to be used with a lot more synergy to other spells (like blade->new aoe->sandstorm, or double blade-> double new aoe).
