Condition. While suffering from this Condition, you deal less damage with attacks and all of your attributes are reduced by 1.
Concise description: You deal 66% less damage with attacks and your attributes are reduced by 1.
— in-game description
Game mechanics[edit]
- Weakness is a condition that reduces the equipped weapon's base damage by 66%.
- Bonus damage (e.g. from attack skills or "I Am The Strongest!") is not reduced.
- Weakness also reduces all attributes by 1.
- Attributes at rank 0 are not affected, even when boosted to a higher value by runes or skills such as Master of Magic.
- Title skills, being tied to Title ranks instead of attributes, are not affected.
- This can cause a character to no longer meet the requirements of their weapon (or certain skills), reducing especially the effectiveness of builds that set attributes based on breakpoints.
Upgrades
- Heavy weapon upgrades extend the duration by 33%.
- A Rune of Clarity and the inscription "Only the Strong Survive" reduce the duration by 20% each.
