Notas Damage Types Explained
Summary
Notas outlines five damage types used in combat: energy, impact, keen, spirit, and vital. Energy, impact, and keen are reduced by your deflect value while spirit and vital are not. This announcement clarifies how each effect deals damage so players can optimize defenses and tactics.
Energy. Effects related to heat and energy (such as fire
and lightning) deal energy damage. This damage type
is reduced by your deflect value.
Impact. Effects that crush or bludgeon (such as a
hammer blow or a flying boulder) deal impact damage.
This damage type is reduced by your deflect value.
Keen. Effects that slice, puncture, or impale (such as
a dagger or sharp wooden spikes) deal keen damage.
This damage type is reduced by your deflect value.
Spirit. Effects that damage both your physical and
spiritual self deal spirit damage. This is usually dealt
by Shardblades, but a few surges can also do so. This
damage type is not reduced by your deflect value.
Vital. Effects that put your constitution to the test (such
as poison, suffocation, and extreme cold) deal vital
damage. This damage type is not reduced by your
deflect value.
