[edit] Notes
- Weakness is a condition that reduces a weapon's base damage (attack) by 66% and also reduces all non-zero attribute ranks by 1.
- Attributes can be reduced to 0. However, those already at rank 0 are not affected, even if they are boosted by runes.
- Weakness can reduce one or more attributes so that a character no longer meets the minimum requirements of their weapon (or skill), reducing the effectiveness of certain builds, especially those that set attributes based on breakpoints.
- Title ranks are not affected, so almost all title skills are unaffected by the condition.
- The 66% damage reduction does not apply to additive damage bonuses (e.g. from attack skills or "I Am The Strongest!").
- Heavy weapon upgrades extend the duration of weakness by 33%.
- A Rune of Clarity and the inscription "Only the Strong Survive" can be used to reduce the duration of weakness by 20% each.
