FE: Not Dura-neg but probably Damage Boost

[KobsterHope07]

Well, the CRT banned is over after 5 months and here we are. I got more planned after this but let’s start with this.

Currently on the site, we have special weapons in Fire Emblem Three Houses like the Heroes’ Relics having Durability Negation against dragons because it is stated on the description of their Combat Art that they deal bonus damage to this particular unit. Well, while dealing bonus damage and weapon effectiveness is a thing in 3H, I disagree that it is Dura-neg but probably (as the title stated) Damage Boost.

Bonus damage

Across the Fire Emblem series, there are a number of weapons which possess the ability to deal extra damage to certain classes which possess a particular vulnerability to them. This bonus damage, also known as effective damage or effectiveness, is in most games handled by multiplying the might...

fireemblemwiki.org

The game goes into detail on the guide section of the in-game menu under ‘Combat’ that in the game; If a weapon or Magic is particularly effective against an enemy’s type, then the damage will be tripled. If a Combat Art is particularly effective against a certain enemy’s type, then the damage will be doubled instead.

So, instead of ignoring durability, these weapons, spells and Combat Art inflicts extra Damage that is either doubled or tripled depending on what is utilized.

EDIT: Decided to add footages from the game itself

Well fundamentally the description is the same, I just thought Durability Negation made more sense because the damage would be bypassing the defenses of these units normally

I pretty much agree with this

I feel like if they want to imply Durability Negation, they would use a similar description of that of Luna where the Heroes Relic’s Combat Art negate a dragon defense rather than being effective. That’s also reminds me that I need to also do a CRT to change Resistance Negation to Dura Neg for Three Houses’ Luna users.

That's fair, I agree with Damage Boost then

I agree Damage boost is the better definition. Definition of Durability negation is that certain aspects of an attack or threat involves things like a 10-C virus killing a 3-A character. DontTalkDT also made concerns about "Attack that ignores defense stat" being durability negation instead of armor negation. Unless it has certain aspects such as spatial manipulation. So I agree with Damage Boost instead.

Well, I guess this can be accepted and applied to the profiles. I can’t edit profiles yet until Monday according to the official migration thread, so I leave edits til then or someone who can do it can apply them instead. This thread can be closed.

 

[DarkDragonMedeus]

I have taken care of the edits

 

[KobsterHope07]

Alright! With that taken care of, this thread can be closed so I can start my next CRT

Okay
