Elemental Break is a Sorcerer skill in Octopath Traveler.
Effect[]
Strikes a target with a single staff attack and applies the Decreased Elemental Defense debuff to the target for 2 turns.
For the duration of the effect, standard attacks and Elemental Attack Skills directed at this creature deal +50% (x1.5) damage. Additional applications of the same debuff on the same target additively stack the remaining duration, up to a maximum of 9 turns.
Damage Dealt = 1.5 x [Attacker P.Atk - (Enemy P.Def x 0.35)]
Boost: Increase damage by +100% and add +2 turns to the duration per level of boost (max 9 total).
Other Multipliers[]
- All damage scales with the level of the attacker (see Level Multiplier)
- All damage has a random multiplier (from x0.98 to x1.02) applied to it for each hit
- Critical hits deal x1.25 damage.
- Hitting an enemy with a weakness to Staves deals x1.3 damage (or x1.5 with Stronger Strikes); hitting a Broken enemy instead deals x2.0 damage
- The Increased Physical Attack buff on the attacker or the Decreased Physical Defense on the target increases damage by x1.5; with both, the total multiplier is x2.25
