Light vs Anti-Magic
The two original Mythicals and the top two books in every ranking. The difference is target count, not power: Light deletes one target, Anti-Magic deletes a room.
Which one should you pick?
Our verdict Gamoryx, based on the data and rankings below.
You mostly fight bosses, want the highest burst in the game, or follow Faceless's ranking (Light first).
You farm packs, play PvP after Lv 250 (anti-magic domain), or want a repeatable Z that is rarely on cooldown.
Side by side
| Attribute | Light | Anti-Magic |
|---|---|---|
| Official group | Few | Few |
| Rarity | Mythical | Mythical |
| Rarity chance per spin | 0.5% | 0.5% |
| Store price | Robux only | Robux only |
| Community tier (Faceless/ItzVexo) | Top | Top |
| Maxbit tier | S | S |
| Identity | The highest burst damage in the game, best against single targets. | Top-two book: the best AoE in the game and a PvP monster with its anti-magic domain. |
| Documented moves | Z, X, C, Special | Z, X, C, V |
| Strengths | Best burst damage; Best single-target damage — ideal for bosses; No Spirit Moss in the awakening recipe | Best AoE in the game; Anti-magic domain dominates PvP; Early-island awakening materials |
| Weaknesses | Cooldowns need managing; Slightly worse AoE than Anti-Magic; 0.5% rarity chance; Robux-only in the store | Slightly less single-target burst than Light; 0.5% rarity chance; Robux-only in the store |
| Awakening materials | Ancient Sap, Clear Water, Honey, Honeycomb, Mana Crystal, Wind Seeds | Blue Herb, Clear Water, Gale Feathers, Mana Crystal, Spirit Moss, Stone Crust |
Highlighted = better on that line, only when both values are published. Shared awakening materials: Clear Water, Mana Crystal — owning both books doubles the demand on these.
What the rankings say
Maxbit: “The best Grimoire in the game in terms of pure damage. The cooldowns require a bit of management but it's the best burst damage you can get. It's amazing against single enemies and slightly worse than AMG for AOE.” Faceless also ranks Light first, above Anti-Magic.
