Passive Effects Guide
Ву Afjiz.
This guide is based on testing, not actual translations. Here are the things that were translated wrong:
- Improved Thrusting Counter-Attacks
- Weapons inflict blood loss when HP is low
- Defeating Group Fires _______
- Damage Reduction Up while Charging Attacks
- Attack Up when Using Two Weapons
- [Wylder] Art bar fills a lot when ability is used
If you know of any other wrong translations, or ways to make these better, tell me in the comments and I’ll check it out.
Improved Thrusting Counter-Attacks
When a weapon says it improves thrusting counter-attacks, it actually means you do more damage with piercing weapons to enemies while they are attacking.
It seems “thrusting” meant piercing, and “counter-attacks” meant “while attacking.” So, “Improved Thrusting Counter-Attacks” means:
More pierce damage when the enemy is attacking.
Weapons inflict blood loss when HP is low
This one is mostly wrong. I haven’t checked if you do more blood loss at low HP, but what it actually does is put a blood effect on your weapon when you hit an enemy critically. So it really means:
Weapon gets blood effect on critical hit.
Defeating Group Fires [Golden Shockwave]
It doesn’t have to be Golden Shockwave, that’s just what I’ve tested. This is a bit confusing because I think what this passive really means is already clear in the game, but it basically means:
Hitting enemies repeatedly creates a [Golden Shockwave].
It usually takes 3-5 hits for this to happen, and it works on bosses, so it has nothing to do with defeating an enemy. It also works with Ironeye’s mark, so it might work with other character abilities.
Damage Reduction Up while Charging Attacks
This only gives you damage reduction after you successfully land a charged attack. So it means:
Damage reduction after hitting a charged attack.
The damage reduction lasts for about 10 seconds. It won’t stack, but hitting another charged attack will reset the time.
But…
Don’t confuse it with: Damage Reduction Up While Casting Spells. That one only gives you damage reduction while you are actively casting spells (with a very short time after).
Attack Up when Using Two Weapons
This isn’t really a wrong translation, just a bit unclear. This only works when you have two of the same type of weapon in both hands, and it only works when you use the special L1 attack that swings both weapons together.
Attack up when attacking with two weapons at once.
[Wylder] Art bar fills a lot when ability is used
This isn’t wrong, just too general. It doesn’t mean the grappling hook ability; it means the sixth sense passive ability.
[Wylder] Art bar fills a lot when sixth sense is used.
