What is Heavy Stun?
Status Ailment That Imobilizes
Heavy Stun refers to a status ailment which immobilizes and interupts enemies. Players can heavy stun enemies by filling up their stun meter with attacks.
Heavy Stun In-Game Description
Hitting an enemy builds towards a Heavy Stun based on the damage dealt. Different enemies have different Heavy Stun thresholds and durations, with very large monsters having a high Heavy Stun Threshold. Players cannot be Heavy Stunned.
While an enemy is Heavy Stunned, they cannot act and count as Immobilised.
Physical damage and Melee Damage each cause 50% more Heavy Stun buildup. These bonuses are multiplicative with each other.
