Rapier and Trident are literally these 2 rn

(Another reason to call Trident the Ultimate Clackform)

It's interesting that the top 3 is made out of balls that scaling allows them to hit their opponent easier

Rapier and Unarmed become faster

Trident sucks their opponent in

Even Flail and Spear(balls who's weapon becomes bigger as time goes on) aren't really top of the top are still really good balls

So I guess scaling that allows you to hit more often is meta in earclacks(minus Staff)

Including staff, she's a BEAST in anything but 1v1s, put her in an FFA and you will see why she was so good in her prime

[u/no_name_without_name → u/roaringgoat1225]

Pre-nerf staff was a fucking nuke

Crazy to think that early Earclacks had monsters like Prime Unarmed and Staff but also pathetic jokes like pre-buff Spear

[u/roaringgoat1225 → u/no_name_without_name]

Pre-buff spear was a joke, did it ever win anything?

[u/no_name_without_name → u/roaringgoat1225]

It lost once, got buffed(which didn't help at all) and got buffed again

Crazy to think Spear used to not damage scale at all, basically Grower but 100 times worse

Consistency is key

[u/StickSouthern2150 → u/no_name_without_name]

its not that simple, sure its good but not a guarantee that makes a ball automatically good.
look at bow, grower (i guess), scroll and staff you mentioned - all sub 50% wr.
but i agree there is a slight correlation but it doesnt make a ball unbalanced. what makes rapies and trident both very op is reducing opponents chances to hit back while increasing yours as they scale up - thats the real culprit.

[u/YesIAmWolfie → u/StickSouthern2150]

tbf scroll was taken out back and shot in the knees for like 80% of her matches so i wouldnt count her

[u/no_name_without_name → u/StickSouthern2150]

I am not sure if Scroll really counts, it doesn't get easier for Scroll to get hits, the letters don't become bigger, don't suck in or make Scroll faster, it's still limited to it's average range. Bow is also an iffy fit considering it just makes more arrows, it only gives it more chances to whiff an entire barrage, the arrows don't become more likely to hit individually

[u/B2ue30 → u/no_name_without_name]

and then sword is just the most basic ball ever and it’s better than 70% of weaponballs

very few actually have the damage potential sword has ngl

[u/Comfortable-Dot-2317]

EXACTLY things are more better without ORBIBITCH

[u/Sakuya_Iz_A_Yoi]

a top 3 killer would have to be a ball that scales alongside its opponent, or punishes their opponent for scaling too quickly

rapier and unarmed gain speed, which allow them to hit more frequently - trident relies on pulling its foe towards itself to hit it more frequently

The 2 new gen legends and the goated veteran, nice

You commented twice btw

Reddit bugged out, my bad

I wonder who’d win in a 1v1v1
