Weakness

Introduction

This page is about Enemy's Weakness/Defense towards the three Physical Attack-Type: Slash, Strike and Thrust.

Just like Resistance, there are currently 5 discovered Tiers of Physical Damage Stages for non-Boss enemies. The Factor by which the Damage is determined is called Weakness-Factor and is applied after the initial Offense-Defense calculation. Most Enemies have Average-Tier, but some, like "Thick scaled'', ''Heavy Armored'' receive increased/decreased damage against the three Types.

Formula

Normal Enemy

The Offense-Defense calculation works as following:
Offense = Total PHYSICAL Number shown in equip window * Movement Modifier
Defense = Area-Defense (Game's increasing difficulty by area, see Area-Defense) * Enemy Melee/Ranged Defense Factor (see Normal Enemy List)

Final Damage = (Offense-Defense)*Weakness-Factor¹

• Jump-Attack with Any-Type, non-crit, on Undead Travler:
  • (450*1.512-63*1)*1= 617.4 => 617 tested
  • (760*1.512-63*1)*1= 1086.12 => 1086 tested
• Jump-Attack with Strike-Type, non-crit, on Ironclad Soldier:
  • (330*1.512-92*1.25)*1.5 = 575.94 => 576 tested

Area-Defense
