무기 속성

Weapon types (攻撃属性) are a mechanic in 영웅전설 섬의 궤적 and used until 영웅전설 시작의 궤적. It assigns a set of attributes to a character's attacks and works together with combat links.

Description

See also: Combat link, Unbalancing in Cold Steel I and II and Unbalancing in Cold Steel III - Reverie.

Each character's weapon has a letter rank in one or more types of damage: slash, pierce, thrust, and strike. Enemies have different vulnerabilities to these damage types, that gives them a chance to be unbalanced by attacks made by characters with a combat link, enabling link attacks. Additionally, having high strike rank enables the character's field attacks to destroy hard objects such as columns.

Slash 斬	Thrust 突	Pierce 射	Strike 剛
The most versatile attack method by cutting and slicing. Works on soft enemies, such as plant-types.	Gouging attacks by thrusting and penetrating. Works on larger enemies, such as fish-types.	Shooting attacks to subdue quick enemies. Whether its avians, beasts, or bugs, any hard enemies with a blind spot.	Hitting strikes with destructive impact. Effective against hard-shelled insects and large beasts.

Unbalance Chance

For each weapon type, the unbalance chance is as follows:

<math>Final\ Chance = (Rank\ Base\ Chance + Craft\ Bonus + Insight\ Bonus)\times Star\ Rating</math>

Type Rank		Chance		Star Rating	Vulnerability
Cold Steel I and II	Cold Steel III onwards
S	SS	25%			×4
A	S	15%			×2
B	A	10%			×1
C	B	5%			×0.5
D	C	3%			×0.1

• Only the highest chance between all the weapon types available will be used to determine whether unbalancing occurs.
• A critical strike from an attack that can unbalance will always do so.
• Insight status grants a +10% bonus before star rating (except in 섬의 궤적 II).
• Balance Down status doubles star rating vulnerability (+1 star except at 0 stars).
