That is the thing though, Slayer magic is more effective not because of any supposed amp to their stats, it just makes it that much easier to hurt what they target, there is no boost, it is just kryptonite to what they target, whatever magic power they poor into said magic is what matter, all Erza did was enchant their magic, not their magic power, her stats are her own.
If that was the case, and it didn't boost them into impressive tanks because of a stats, then it wouldn't be the coveted magic it is. You all want to ignore the way the story has portrayed slayers, because yall want to pretend it's not a boost? So now we're going to act like SLayer mages arent the tanks of the vesre? Their not melee monsters who can take a ton of punishment. Oh ok. It's a boost when Gray gets slayer magic though. IF this was how it actaully worked, since they havne't faced a demon since tartarus. Gray's slayer magic should be irrelevant, since it's only effective agaisnt the target. Lets ignore the entire battle showing off the increased stats his slayer magic grants. Erza got no boost, her using other peoples magic is a non factor, becasue she learned everybody's magic on her own, surpassing even Wendy, her teacher, who needs an outside source to enchant something into someting.
A minor correction, do not remember anything about it being sought after in general except for those who have awareness of lost magic, it is because it has dangerous side effects. Wendy when she was introduced said she had low attack power of her own. It’s not a boost, it’s a different ability that gray obtained that allowed him to be more effective than most mages against demons. Natsu clearly had the stat advantage with displays against Mard and still he stood, it was Gray that was the most effective with slayer hax. Ezra clearly did not surpass Wendy in enchantment magic, in short is just gives damage increase against what They target, not stat increase.
Well that's just blatanlty not true lol, DF, Duel Element modes, Dragon King modes, elemental drives, Slayers have a plethora of power up techniques that literally help to boost their stats. AN that's if i ignore your claim is only Wendy is capable, by virtue of using Enchantments, bc that's what enchantment magic does. Enhance things with magic. Like enhancing a regular mage into a DS by adding a dragon element to their magic and them benefiting from the boost that provides.
Here’s hoping that happens.
.... who's going to join me to make fun of gray's lackluster performance and maybe gajeel. Gray fanboys will cry if they see Mira appear again.... she's always living rent free in their heads. Gray shits his pants in front of laxus, Mira, skullion, suzaku, natsu fucking aldoron, Misaki, proceeds to fight fodder. Just look at the last chapter cover page everyone has bruises but gray looking fine asf
It’s safe to say Gray and Gajeel are lagging behind significantly in power compared to the others. If you switched Erza with Gray and Natsu with Gajeel they’d get stomped by Misaki and Suzaku handedly.Why y'all quiet
One of the few problems I have with Natsu training is how fast he grows now if other characters grow just as fast with the same amount of training that fine at least it’s fair but if only Natsu gets stronger it’s not
It's not fair. Only those who work hard get stronger. Natsu and laxus dedicate a lot of their time training, mostly natsu.
I said if they do the same amount of training they should be able to grow just as fast.
I don’t know if you were talking to me or not. Personally I don’t know, sorry I couldn’t think of a good answer but to me characters are as strong as Hiro wants them to be so it doesn’t really matter how hard they work at times
Perfect answer. This is exactly my opinion as well.
Yes. Elfman is a hard worker. Erza doesn't work as hard as laxus. Laxus has statement of always training and stuff like that. But we all know how mashima is hell bent on keeping the status quo so even if normally characters work harder than others once you're portrayed as equals or a certain characters are stronger than certain characters it'll hardly ever change. We've discussed this before regarding natsu
Based on what.
Exactly, we agree. Mashima is only base on portrayal, not hard workers than others.
I get your point. This portrayals isn't fair for certain characters like elfman. Mira is literally retired but he's still getting overshadowed to the point gray and cana considered him a non-factor. I believe mashima has a disconnect from the power scaling in the series because Erza stated that natsu was the one who beat acnologia and selene said natsu was the one who beat aldoron but he's equal to gray and gajeel maybe that's just considering base stats and no modes. But yeah the portrayals aren't fair for certain characters who train harder than others.
