Crucible of Steel and Flame: Difference between revisions

Line 32:

The Crucible of Steel and Flame is notable for being the second cheapest Paragon in the game, second to [[Apex Plasma Master]]. The majority of the Crucible's power stems from its abilities, most notably Meteor Impact for its powerful burst damage and AoE making it a very cost efficient Paragon.

Degrees have a great impact on the Crucible's potential DPS, giving Maelstrom greater uptime and further enhancing its main attack by shooting out more blades and tacks as well as Meteor Impact by having a shorter cooldown and dealing much greater damage overall, and the increased flat pierce improves the homing meteor's total DPS.

Degrees have a great impact on the Crucible's potential DPS, giving Maelstrom greater uptime and further enhancing its main attack by shooting out more blades and tacks, Maelstrom's Ring of Fire by increasing it's overall DPS, as well as Meteor Impact by having a shorter cooldown and dealing much greater damage overall, and the increased flat pierce improves the homing meteor's total DPS.

Crucible of Steel of Flame's best matchup is [[Blastapopoulos (BTD6)|Blastapopoulos]]; despite the increased ability cooldowns, Meteor Impact's massive burst damage is still very strong for its price. Its worst matchup is [[Phayze (BTD6)|Phayze]] as it lacks any way to naturally affect Camo Bloons, and even with Camo detection from [[Ascended Shadow]] it loses almost all of its DPS whenever Phayze hits a skull. Additionally, the Maelstrom ability is almost useless versus [[Lych]] because it steals the self-buff.
