General Notes

(1) Each enemy Attack Level has different classification:

  • Lv1 Guard possible/Ultimate possible.
  • Lv2 Guard breaks/Ultimate possible.
  • Lv3 Guard breaks/Ultimate breaks.
  • Lv4 Guard impossible/Ultimate possible.
  • Lv5 Guard impossible/Ultimate impossible.

Guard break means held-down Royalguard breaks and Dante takes damage. Guard/Ultimate being impossible lead to knockback and damage. Enemy elemental resistances are in percentage eg. 100 means an enemy takes 100% damage, 95 means only 95% damage and 105 means 105% damage.

Attack Rate means the melee and ranged damage resistance an enemy has, eg. 100 is 100% and 30 is 30%.

Mode Health Damage modification
