Characters and enemy units can be divided into one of the four weapon types.

Circle of Carnage

Units gain a damage bonus when they have a weapon advantage over the enemy unit they attack. This is known as the Circle of Carnage. The same bonuses apply to enemy units when they have a weapon advantage.

  • SwordIcon Sword units and skills deal double damage to BowIcon Bow units.
  • SpearIcon Spear units and skills deal double damage to SwordIcon Sword units.
  • BowIcon Bow units and skills deal double damage to SpearIcon Spear units.

StaffIcon Staff units have no advantages or weaknesses over other weapon types. However, it is important to note that staff units may have an elemental attribute, which can grant them both an advantage and a weakness to an element.

Notes

When pincering, the Circle of Carnage only takes into account the weapon type of the leading units' current jobs. Units chained with a pincering unit will do pincer damage according to the pincering unit's weapon type, but skills will keep their own weapon type.

When skills activate, they will use the weapon type of skill. Skills with a weapon type different from the current job will be treated as the skill's weapon type.

Trivia

  • The Circle of Carnage does not make one weapon type "weak" against another. For example, while Sword units and skills do increased damage against Bow units, Bow units and skills will do normal damage against Sword units.
  • In version 2.9.0, skills were changed so that they do damage according to the skill's weapon-type instead of the job's weapon type. [1]
