I think that Crasher absolutely should be bumped up to Busted tier. The synchronicity of the two abilities is phenomenal, and we've already seen the kind of feats Wax was capable of. Feruchemical Iron is already one of the few abilities that's nearly as useful when storing as it is when tapping, making the act of storing the ability incredibly easy and casual. Pair that with Steel Allomancy which has novel uses whether you're making yourself lighter or heavier, and you've got a match made in heaven. Iron Pulling could be similar, but pushing metals is just generally kinda better than pulling them. Sure, you could make yourself heavier to pull something bigger towards yourself... but you might end up crushing yourself that way. Or you can make yourself lighter so it's easier to pull yourself around a metal-rich environment. Still good, but not as good as "steelflight" or bracing yourself to throw a truck at somebody. Also, I know I've mentioned it before, but since I don't really do Discord stuff I'll toss out the suggestion again here. I think a more fitting name for Allomantic Pewter + Feruchemical Iron would be *"Bouncer"* rather than "Juggernaut". But hey, that's just my opinion. XD
Agree on all fronts! Not much more to add regarding Crasher being busted. Regarding the name for Juggernaut/Bouncer, I think Bouncer also fits more in-world imo. Juggernaut has much more of earth-sci-fi vibes, while Bouncer fits wuth established names, like crasher. Also, when you think of Bouncers, you think of a person who is big and beefy and forns the immovable rock between you and the club, so it works well regardless of Juggernaut, too!
@@Buphido The fun part about Bouncer is that it's a double-entendre. It implies the profession, but can also can be read as "one who bounces", because of the increased leg strength paired with storing weight makes one able to leap great distances/heights and land safely. They're almost literally "bouncy", leaping from place to place.
For part 16, I think it‘d be good if you went through the ranking one last time sorted by metal. First number is allomancy, second is feruchemy, so counting up from 1-1 (A-Iron, F-Iron), to 1-2 (A-Iron, F-Steel), …, to 1-16 (A-Iron, F-Duralumin), to 2-1 (A-Steel, F-Iron), …, to 16-15 (A-Duralumin, F-Aluminium), to 16-16 (A-Duralumin, F-Duralumin). Enumeration of metals based on the steel alphabet. :P

How dare you steal my idea!
I mentioned it in ETC’s server and the 2 main Cosmere servers (17th and the RPG) that bouncer is a MUCH better name for it
The issue is bouncer is used by a really random other Twinborn I’m forgetting the name of (that the ETC server named, not the MAG)

Crane flies could be very good with another magic system, sounds like they would have a ton of control over their Investiture
Getting good with aElectrum would probably let you fight better, figuring out which of your moves will get you hit or not
I think it is kind of funny that a thespian wouldn't necessarily automatically be a great orator, but they could make you feel like they were.
Quickwit has to go up. The zinc combined with the ability to take it all in has endless potential

I agree cus that way u can see which metal, for example iron, goes best with.
