Catie Posted October 5, 2017 Report Share Posted October 5, 2017 Hey all, so I was just thinking - in Mistborn HoA, it says that in the old days when allomancers were fairly new and their powers weren't diluted by generations, multiple soothers could take hold of koloss and kandra. In Vin's day, to achieve that effect, you need duralumin + brass/zinc. So that got me thinking... In the old days, could you use duralumin and bronze to pierce a coppercloud? I don't have any exciting theories, I just wanted to put that out there. Also, I don't have an exact source for the HoA reference but I'm fairly certain it says that somewhere.

I think that is a workable option but the caveat is you could only detect the Allomancy for a moment and then all of your bronze is gone. So, I imagine it would be very difficult to track, or even locate nearby, someone using Allomancy with just a moment's worth of data. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPHRD Posted October 5, 2017 Report Share Posted October 5, 2017 I think duralumin and bronze could always pierce copper but the Lord Ruler never taught people about duralumin. And while bronze was "stronger" back then, so was copper. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingsdaughter613 Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 (edited) Strong bronze can beat a weak copper cloud. No additional supplements necessary. Edited October 8, 2017 by Kingsdaughter613 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
