Effective Against Enemies With Many Resistances

This particular ability turns the tide against enemies with many resistances against certain types of attacks. It may grant your intended target an ability to heal itself when it attacks, but the upside of this ability is that it exposes your foe to the many possible attacks or spells you might unleash.

Use Against Single Enemy Bosses

Perilous Stakes is ideal to use in combatting enemy bosses, given their particular set of resistances to many attacks. This ability helps you land decisive strikes against bosses that are uncompromisingly resistant to your offensive arsenal.
