Category:Enfeebling Magic
From FFXI Wiki
(Redirected from Immunobreak)
Overview
Enfeebling Magic is a general category of spells which apply negative status effects ("debuffs") to one or more enemy targets. The majority of enfeebling spells, including many higher tier exclusive spells, and the highest enfeebling magic skill are available to RDM, with small subsets of those spells available to GEO, SCH, WHM, DRK, and BLM. Since most enfeebling spells are learned at relatively low levels, RDM sub can offer a wide variety of enfeebling spells to any job capable of landing them successfully.
Enfeebling Magic skill determines the accuracy and spell interruption rate of Enfeebling Magic spells. Aside from Dia Spells and Inundation, all enfeebling spells either resist completely or "stick" on the target. For spells which land successfully, the duration of the debuffing effect is highly dependent on the accuracy of the spell relative to the target's resistance (and/or magic evasion).
For enfeebling spells with variable potency, the potency is calculated from a formula which varies by spell (Blind, Slow, Paralyze, Addle, Frazzle, Distract, Poison).

Immunobreak
The Immunobreak system is a mechanic that was introduced in the July 24, 2012 (JST) Version Update which allows the player to lower a monster's magic evasion to certain negative status effects through the successive casting of Enfeebling Magic. When a monster resists an Enfeebling Magic spell, there is a chance an Immunobreak may occur. This is indicated by a message that appears in the chat log. The following is an example:
| Player casts Sleep on the Huge Hornet. |
|---|
| →The Huge Hornet resists the spell. |
| →Immunobreak! |
Mechanics
An Immunobreak occurs when certain Enfeebling Magic spells are resisted which results in the monster's resistance rank to the negative status effect that triggered it to lower by one rank. This reduction results in the lowering of the monster's magic evasion to subsequent casts of the same negative status effect. Any Immunobreaks triggered afterwards by the same Enfeebling Magic will stack in a cumulative fashion and further lower the monster's negative status resistance rank. This rank will stay at its modified level until the corresponding negative status effect successfully lands.
- Only spells classified as Enfeebling Magic can trigger an Immunobreak.
- The lowering of a monster's resistance rank does not occur with all Enfeebling Magic. Only the following spells are capable of triggering an Immunobreak: Bind, Blind, Blind II, Break, Breakga, Gravity, Gravity II, Paralyze, Paralyze II, Poison, Poison II, Poisonga, Sleep, Sleep II, Sleepga, Sleepga II, Slow and Slow II.
- This mechanic is beneficial not only to the Enfeebling Magic used to lower the monster's negative status resistance rank, but also to any source capable of applying the same effect such as Blue Magic or certain avatar Blood Pacts despite those spells or abilities not being able to trigger an Immunobreak themselves.
- Example: A player casts Sleep on a monster. The spell is resisted, but an Immunobreak occurs. Not only will the monster's magic evasion be reduced for subsequent casts of Sleep, but spells such as Dream Flower can take advantage of this reduction as well.
- A monster's resistance rank is reset to its original value when a corresponding negative status effect is successfully inflicted upon it. The more times a monster's resistance rank is reset, the more difficult it will progressively become to trigger subsequent Immunobreaks.
- Note that it is the monster's resistance to Immunobreak itself that increases and not its resistance to the negative status effect.
- There is a limit to the number of times a monster's resistance rank can be modified and then reset as a cycle. The number of Immunobreak cycles possible depends on the monster's starting negative status resistance rank. Once this limit is reached, it will no longer be possible to trigger an Immunobreak on the monster for that particular negative status effect.
- One Immunobreak cycle consists of any number of Immunobreaks triggered, the successful landing of the status effect and subsequent reset of the monster's resistance rank to its original value.
- Any corresponding negative status effects that land at the monster's starting resistance rank without any Immunobreaks will not count towards the maximum number of Immunobreak cycles allowed.
| Maximum Number of Immunobreak Cycles Possible By Starting Rank | |
|---|---|
| 5% | 6 |
| 10% | 8
|
| 15% | 10 |
| 20% | 12 |
| 25% | 14
|
| 30% | 16 |
- Immunobreaks can only be triggered when the starting negative status resistance rank of a monster is rank 30% or higher.
- If a monster's starting rank is 40% or lower it will not be possible to elicit an Immunobreak.
- During an Immunobreak cycle, negative status resistance ranks may be reduced at most to a rank of 50%.
- If a monster is completely immune to a negative status effect, it will not be possible to trigger an Immunobreak and the chat log will display a "completely resists" message. The following is an example:
| Player casts Sleep on the Huge Hornet. |
|---|
| →The Huge Hornet completely resists the spell. |
- Starting with the implementation of the Immunobreak mechanic in 2012, many monsters released prior had their resistances changed in the following months to reduce the amount of foes that have complete immunities. That being said, there are still many monsters that have been introduced since then that possess immunities to certain status effects throughout various content.
Enhancing Immunobreak
The chance for an Immunobreak to occur varies from monster to monster, and can even vary between the different Immunobreakable negative status effects of a single monster. It is possible to increase the chances of one occurring in the following ways:
- Enfeebling Magic skill: The higher your Enfeebling Magic skill is, the higher your chances of triggering an Immunobreak are.
- Resisted Spells: The more times a spell is resisted, the higher the probability of an triggering an Immunobreak.
- Saboteur: this job ability increases the chance of an Immunobreak occurring for Enfeebling Magic spells cast while under its effect.
- Immunobreak Chance Merit Point category: Each merit placed into this Group 2 category will increase your Immunobreak rate by 3% up to a total of 15%.
- Immunobreak Chance equipment augment: The Red Mage relic boots starting with the Duelist's Boots +2 up to the fully upgraded Vitiation Boots +3 are augmented with an additional 1% chance to trigger an Immunobreak per 1 point invested in the Red Mage Group 2 "Immunobreak Chance" merit point category, up to a maximum increase of 5%.
Currently, there is only one piece of armor in the game with the "Immunobreak +1" stat: Chironic Hose
- This stat allows the player to reduce a monster's resistance rank by two ranks per Immunobreak instead of the usual one while equipped.
