How to Break Body Parts
You can break the enemy Monster's body parts by choosing which section you want to attack. Learn more about how to target a specific body part and break them in this guide!
How to Break Body Parts
Use The Correct Weapon Type
To break body parts, you must use the correct weapon type to carry out the attack. In the case of fighting the Feral Chatacabra, Pierce and Blunt damage are crossed out when targeting the head of this particular Monster, meaning you can only damage that specific part with Slash Damage!
Use Kinship Skills
Kinship Skills can also be used to deal massive damage to the enemy Monster's body parts! This is done by filling up the Kinship Gauges of your character and Battle Allies by continuously landing Normal Attacks, Double Attacks, and winning Head-to-Heads!
What Happens When A Body Part Breaks
Broken Parts Bonus Effects Are Triggered
When a body part breaks, the corresponding Break Bonus of that attack will be inflicted. Some examples include bonuses such as Wyvernsoul Damage, Topple, and Stun.
List of Broken Part Effects
| Body Part Bonus Effect | Description |
|---|---|
| Stun | Cancels actions for that turn. |
| Topple | Downs the target. |
| Transform | Causes a transformation to occur. |
| Transform/Parts Broken | Cause a transformation via broken parts. |
| Enfeeble | Increases the damage to the broken part. |
| Weaken Skills | Weakens some skills. |
| Wyvernsoul Damage | Greatly depletes the Wyvernsoul Gauge. |
To easily Topple a Monster, you must target the parts that trigger Wyvernsoul Damage. For example, the Feral Chatacabra's head is prone to this certain type of bonus damage!
Combat System Guide: How to Win Battles
Applies Wyvernsoul Gauge Damage
The Wyvernsoul Gauge represents the enemy's endurance to fight. Depleting this bar is necessary, as this can lead to trigger Topple, which in turn can follow up critical damage, and damaging body parts reduce a Monster's Wyvernsoul Gauge.
Remember that the Wyvernsoul Damage you see in the body part prompt is separate from the damage you're already inflicting to the enemy's Wyvernsoul Gauge, which you achieve by attacking the part with the correct weapon type.
