Notes

  • Defense Down effect is -25% defense.
    • Additional Effect is Element: Wind-based, so it is unlikely to land on Element: Wind or Element: Ice enemies.
    • Duration has three resist states, so "unresisted duration" is shown above, "resisted duration" is half of that, and it is possible for the monster to fully resist.
  • Accuracy of WS additional effect has increased June 2017
  • Armor Break's Defense down effect can overwrite itself, regardless of current or new duration.
    • Can actually reduce the duration if re-applied with less TP.
  • Armor Break's Defense down effect can still apply if WS damage is 0 depending on magic accuracy.
  • Armor Break's Defense down effect cannot override Full Break's Defense down.
    • Full Break's weaker Defense down effect can still overwrite Armor Break's Defense down effect.
  • Defense Down effects do not stack with each other.
