Benefits of Transforming Equipment

Change Attribute Modifiers

Transforming your equipment changes which attributes it scales from. This is especially useful if the Blood Code you have equipped has high values in certain attributes and you want your favorite weapon to scale off them.

You can also reduce your gear’s burden, at the cost of lower stats and attribute modifiers.

Attributes Guide: Status Explained

Imbue Gear with Elements for Damage or Resistances

Your weapons and defensive formae can be imbued with elements and status ailments. Transforming your weapons with an element adds that element’s damage to your weapon, while imbuing them with a status ailment causes your weapon attacks to inflict that ailment.

Transforming your defensive formae will increase their base defense against a certain element or status ailment, while their guarding defense offers full negation of that element (but not status ailments).
