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.

Keen 85%

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

Example

Area-Defense

May be off by 1-point due to rounding error in reversing formula
