"Weak" Elemental
« on: February 08, 2008, 12:44:00 PM »
Which enemies have this?

What is the behavior when set?

(The following two questions ignores your response to the previous question.

Are you able to tweak it so that increased/total resistance to Weak is possible (other than the boss bit)?

Are you able to tweak it so that Weak works most, if not all the time?

Okay, I was wrong about this one and realized it after reading some additional documentation. This element makes it so enemies take 4x damage from an element instead of 2x. I was confused by the fact that the Dark Dragon has it set-the only boss I know of that Weak works on-but it's also not set to be a boss which I hadn't noticed at the time.

Well, Weak works easily on the Dark Elf of FF4A because we're comparing against a level 5 target... which is a near sure bet when Tellah is a minimum of level 20.

So.. I've determined how Weak works.

Some questions then...

Does it increase the weaknesses of the following...

Darkness
Holy
Drain
Aerial

I don't recall any monsters being uber weak against arrows... or Darkness (there are a number of monsters, but I don't think it was 4x damage) or Holy (there's a ton of these) or Drain (none of these exist).

Also, can you tell me if the Golbez that Tellah fought is weak vs Holy and if so, 2x or 4x damage?

The only way Golbez takes so much damage is by being weak vs Holy @ 4x damage. I took a look at the spell power and compared to BSiron's (insanely accurate) FAQ for magic calculations.. it would take a character of 44 Wisdom to do approximately 9999 damage assuming that the target has 0 magic defense and is not weak vs Holy. Tellah has only 16 Wisdom.

I also want to know if Zemus was weak vs Holy. He probably isn't at all. Fusoya starts @ 40 Wisdom (remember that his starting equipment boosts his Wisdom, but 40 is the actual base).

I'm pretty sure there are a few enemies x4 weak vs. aerial.  I'll double check.

EDIT: Yup, tons of enemies x4 weak vs. aerial.  Quite a lot of undead x4 weak vs. holy: http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/snes/file/522596/5494

I use that document religiously, but the some missing enemy data in conjunction with some of the missing equipment data makes some of his enemy analysis incomplete...

Although, Darkness was never used a significant multiplier (4x)....
