How to Trigger Physical Statuses

Apply a Physical Status on a Vulnerable Enemy

Physical Status Status Applied First Status Applied If Vulnerable
Knock Down VulnerableVulnerable Knock DownKnock Down
Lift LiftLift
Crush CrushCrush
Breach BreachBreach

The first time an Operator applies a Physical Status to an enemy, they will be inflicted with Vulnerable and will be marked with a stack (max. 4 stacks).

Applying a Physical Status on a Vulnerable enemy will then trigger either Knock Down, Lift, Crush, or Breach.

Difference from Arts Reactions

What are Arts Reactions

Physical Statuses simply require multiple applications of any of the 4 statuses to trigger their effects, which encourages players to be able to build a Mono-Physical DMG team.

On the other hand, Arts Reactions require specific elements in order to trigger reactions. For example, to be able to trigger Combustion you have to have a character that applies Heat Infliction then hit it with another Arts Infliction.

Physical Status Effects

Knock DownKnock Down LiftLift
CrushCrush BreachBreach

There are two types of Physical Status effects: those that applies and re-applies stacks of Vulnerability, and those that consume them to trigger additional effects.

Knock Down and Lift will continuously apply and stack Vulnerability to an enemy if the attack lands, while Crush and Breach will consume Vulnerability stacks once the specific attack hits.

Knock Down

Applying Knock Down on Vulnerable enemies deals extra Stagger and forces weaker enemies onto the ground.

Characters that can inflict Knock Down include Laevatain, Ember, and Catcher.

Lift

Lift imposed on a Vulnerable enemy will deal extra Stagger and suspend weaker enemies in midair.

Chen, Gilberta, and Estella are characters that are able to trigger Lift on a vulnerable enemy.

Crush

Applying Crush will consume all active stacks of Vulnerability on the opponent to deal massive Physical DMG. The more stacks consumed, the more damage will be dealt when this debuff is triggered.

It is highly recommended to use Skills with either Lift or Knock Down to add Vulnerability stacks before applying Crush for the burst damage.

The Endministrator and Da Pan are some of the Operators who can apply Crush.

Breach

When Breach is applied, it consumes all active Vulnerability stacks. It then deals Physical DMG, and for a short duration, will make the enemy take even more Physical DMG for a certain duration.

Breach gets better the more Vulnerability stacks are consumed to trigger it. The more stacks consumed, the longer the duration (it refreshes when reapplied), the bigger the damage, and the more Physical DMG they receive while debuffed.

Pogranichnik is a character that can apply Breach through his skill.
