Initial thoughts on the Magik rework

Seeing how so many people are not getting the rotation down imma make a post. idk if its perfect but i can somewhat consistently get 28 degens ticking on her sp2

Max Ascended 5*. Obviously these are buffless matchups. If the opponent has buffs she can go much faster. No boosts, no synergies, just her. I don't have MD either.

honestly this seems a bit weak, X23 can do these fights in 60 seconds and 80 hits

As 7* R1, unawakened (maybe it’s not a fair comparison, but still)

@lucianxvs Again these fights don't have any buffs which really help Magik out quite considerably (obv she's a mystic champ), and a 7*R1 is about 37.76% than a maxed 5* not to mention challenge rating, stat focus, and possible relics (my fights were without a relic at all), so the comparison is pretty far from fair. Plus Magik has a ton more utility than X-23. X-23 is also just an absolute damage monster. I have her at R4 sig 200 she's incredible. Not many can beat her in damage/speed.

yea I don’t think you can compare that

What’s is your damage rotation for magik

@Jgdahustla1 I did something a bit unorthodox. I basically used sp2s until WS had 8 furies (6 for Cap Marvel) and then went up to sp3, so I nullified 9 furies off WS and 7 off of Captain Marvel. I then immediately charged a heavy to decelerate then built to the sp 2 and got a bunch of dire degens. Then I immediately heavy if needed to keep the loop going. The degens will 20/16 degens from the sp2 will eventually likely expire but the 10/8 main ones needed for fuel can stick around longer. Something cheeky you can do (and you can do this many of her rotations) is let limbo expire just before you get your second bar of power so that you can immediately get a fresh limbo to decelerate when you throw off your sp2.

i made a lil post about this. im tryna see how many loops people use. my post was about an sp1 spam, sp2 loop if you wanna check it out

I’ll check out the post. Thank you

@Kvrim301 Yeah I read your rotation. You got some good stuff in there. I don't have MD, so I had to modify some things but I made a short fight type rotation. I start by building to an sp2 and throwing it off so that I have some furies to nullify with the sp1 (obviously this can be skipped if the opponent has buffs). Then I get some base degens to preserve and then I go for that sp2 loop by letting limbo end right before my second bar of power. I do eventually lose degens to passive AI, but this rotation is definitely better for short fights once we have Magik at a higher level. My rotation is more of a long fight rotation that's also useful if you really need to nullify particular nasty or indefinite buffs, or if neutralize doesn't work too well on the opponent.

Add to this if ya like. also the limbo gives you a fury to nulify, wouldnt it be quicker to sp1 spam? more limbos? unless im missing something. lmk

@Kvrim301 It depends on the healthpool. If you want 3 base degens 2 sp1s is quicker. If you want 5 base degens a special 2 and then 2 sp1s is just simpler and helps keeps the degens the same duration so there's no confusion.

I think she's honestly gonna be good. @Kvrim301 I'm gonna do some more experimentation over the next couple days. I'll post what I find to your discussion.

ok i see what you mean. yh shes definitely got a high ceiling in terms of potential. and also seems to be a champ that has the most rotations. almost like cgr but not as many

Also, isnt it just multiples of 2 degens you need?

no power control…so I’m out

just dropped a 1:54 with no relic, boosts or synergies vs winter soldier.

i got hit 11 times so theres still some optimisation there. From a 5*A? kinda crazy tbh

sub 1:40 definitely possible
