One of my favourite monster is Learnean. So, it has been increasingly concerning for me not to know the mechanic behind status infliction. I'd like to ask more knowledgable members here regarding status infliction and its interaction with :

1. Evasions buff
   I know all evasions allow the buffed monster to reduce all damage by 100%, but i heard some also evade incoming statuses. Which of the following does that?
   a. Camouflage (Taiga)
   b. Time Space (Tiemrion/Yndra)
   c. Phantom (G.Nishant)
   d. Evasion (Faugnar/Alex)
   Does 'clear good status' attack like flooding remove those 'special' evasion
   Does 'special evasion' also evade mana drain move? (water head power/stamina devourer)

2. Accuracy
   My learnean "mixed power" which has 90% attack accuracy and when it lands it has 50% chance to inflict statuses
   If i give 50% accuracy buff. Whats the result?
   a. 140% attack accuracy, and 50% infliction chance
   b. 100% attack accuracy, and (50+40%)infliction chance
   What does accuracy boost do to opponent with tough/bulwark status?

Thank you so much to whoever can answer this

1:

*d
*Yes
*No.

2:

• 140% accuracy to hit and 50% chance of each effect
• It increases chance of penetrating the resistance geometrically (not direct/ simple)

What do you mean by geometrically?
According to your answer : accuracy only boost the attack chance (mixed power) to land (140% chance to land, and still 50% chance to apply effects)
Which means accuracy boost has no additional boost to land statuses on monsters with bulwark/tough trait (its still 50% minus 35%(tough) or 50%(bulwark)?

@loony123
i think he mean in normal case your attack may miss and if it did there will not by any statuses to be landed

If you have your main attack at 140% accuracy then it will land so you will always have those 50% chance of landing statuses

@loony123

Ok. So. @Carlos can correct me if I am wrong, but this is my understanding.

There are 3 different things here.

1. Attack hit check.

This is the accuracy % modified by status effects such as blind, daze etc. This is additive. Precision adds +50%. So if accuracy for a skill is 90%, precision makes it 140%. Then if dazed, reduce by 25% additively making it 115%.

2. Effect proc check

This is the chance of the status effect occurring, not the chance of it landing. AFAIK this is not influenced by anything. No modifiers currently affect this. And I believe it only comes in 2 flavours ATM, but I could be wrong about that: 100%, and 50%.

An anomaly: although energy drain (not strictly an effect but anyway) is also checked at a % equal to the attack hit check accuracy.

3. Effect land check.

This is the chance of an effect taking hold, if the first 2 checks were successful. Usually this starts at 100%.

It is modified by resistance, as a negative. Tough has 35% resistance. That reduces this check. So, what might usually be 100% would now be reduced to 65% on this check.

It is modified by accuracy modifiers but NOT additively as is the case for the Step 1 check.

An example. Precision gives +50%. Tough means chance of effect landing is normally 65%. Add 50% of 65% = 97.5% chance of the effect sticking.

And VIPs - precision makes the chance of effects landing increase from 50% to 75%.

Bear in mind this isn't learned from a manual or something and that I don't have any special guidance on this. This is observation based. Carlos can correct me, and perhaps supply the terms used in-house for these checks.

@C0ntr1v3d
I didnt know there are 3 checks
i thought there are only up to 2 checks, attack(modified by accuracy gain/loss) and statuses checks (reduced by tough/bulwark)

Thank you so much sir. I know there are some members here have deep knowledge about game mechanics
I can now play my Learnean in peace :D

Thanks for the clarification @C0ntr1v3d , this explains why a stun with 95% accuracy may fail on a general even with a 50% accuracy boost, which made me lose a fight against you :p .

I thought I had this in the bag while your zyla was stamina drained and about to die from DoT, tried to stun your ingvar which I thought couldn't fail but it did, he encouraged your team and it was game over for me .

Very good defense btw !

@C0ntr1v3d

@Tara-Nicole-Martin

Nice chart Tara, thanks. But if I am reading it right there is an error: it confuses probability of attack landing with probability of effect landing.

A 90% accuracy "may stun", for example, is 90% chance of the attack hitting. This is not altered by Tough/Bulwark etc.

But if the attack hits, it has a 100% chance of the effect landing (not 90%) and that is when resistance comes into play. So your numbers are lower than is the case.

Precision and Blind affect both the to hit chance and the effect landing chance, but the other variables only affect one or the other.
