Notes

• Reduces damage by a set amount (F), which depends on Enhancing Magic skill, and caps at 500, which gives -35 damage:
  • Up to 300 skill: F = Floor(Enhancing Magic Skill/10) - 2
  • Over 300 skill: F = 28 + Floor( (Enhancing Magic Skill - 300.5) / 28.5)
  • Damage reduction from Phalanx is calculated after Damage Taken equipment.

Example: With a phalanx potency of 20. A hit for 100 damage from an attack would become 80 damage.

• Phalanx enhancing gear is added directly to this damage.
  • The target of the Phalanx spell (including in cases of Accession Phalanx) must be wearing their Phalanx enhancing gear at the time of its receipt to benefit from its effects, retaining the bonus even after changing equipment.
  • Overshooting or undershooting a enhancing skill tier does not provide any benefit due to the equation flooring the section where enhancing skill is divided.
    • 410 enhancing skill would still only provide -31 as per the 386 skill tier.

Notable Phalanx Tiers
Skill:	300	329	358	386	415	443	472	500
-Dmg:	-28	-29	-30	-31	-32	-33	-34	-35
