Damage Types determine the kind of damage weapons and skills can inflict. Each damage type may have a different nature, which can influence creatures' resistance or weakness depending on their type.
The most common damage types are:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Blunt | Blunt damage is associated with physical attacks that crush, strike, or impact. Weapons like maces or hammers typically inflict this type of damage. Some monsters may be more resistant or vulnerable to this type of damage. |
| Slashing | Slashing damage is caused by sharp weapons like swords or knives. It's effective against creatures with light armor or a shell but may be ineffective against other types of enemies. |
| Piercing | Piercing damage is associated with weapons that pierce or stab, such as arrows, spears, or darts. It's effective against enemies with limited protection but less effective against well-protected ones. |
| Elemental | Elemental damage is caused by spells, magical attacks, or magical weapons. It's associated with a specific element, such as fire, ice, earth, wind, and more. Creatures can have elemental resistances or weaknesses affecting their vulnerability to magical damage. For example, a spell like Fireball inflicts fire elemental damage, while an Ice Lance inflicts ice elemental damage. |
Creatures may have resistances or weaknesses to specific damage types.
For instance, an ice creature might be resistant to ice damage but vulnerable to fire damage. Damage types can play a crucial role in attack planning and combat strategies.
