PRESENTATION

In RS2, in addition to regular attacks, characters can use Techs (Waza in Japanese, dubbed 'Skills' in the Remaster), mainly in order to affect the enemies' HP or status in battle, at the cost of SP ('Skill Points', WP Waza Points in Japanese).

All techs (except Martial) are weapon-dependent (e.g. you must have a Sword equipped to use a Sword tech).

Some specific weapons have built-in techs, which sometimes need to be sparked. See also the Weapons in the Items section.

There are also Evade skills, which allow you to evade enemy attacks.


EQUIP TECHS

To be usable in battle, techs must be equipped by each character.
In the Select Menu > Skills, you can check which techs are currently available in battle for each of your characters.

There are two ways to equip a tech in a character's tech list:
- spark a new tech in battle (you can learn new techs while fighting monsters),
- or select available techs from the Dojo (the 3 training instructors in Avalon Castle 1F, top right).

The techs you spark in battle become available in the Dojo after a Time Skip or after you defeat a Hero.

There are 8 slots in the Tech Equip Screen: at all times you can have at most only 8 techs 'in mind'.
Fortunately you can also erase (forget) any skill by selecting it twice in your Character's Tech Equip Screen.
Be sure to leave at least one free slot if possible: if the 8 slots of your Tech Equip Screen are taken, you won't be able to spark new techs.


TECH SPARKING

Tech sparking (aka 'skill glimmer') occurs in battle (lightbulb!) and depends on 4 variables:
- your characters' Tech Sparking Type: each character belongs to one of 16 Types and each of these Types have a specific set of learnable techs: your character's Type determines which techs you can or cannot spark.
- the attack or tech used in battle: can it spark another tech? most techs can be sparked using a basic weapon attack but sometimes you must use a specific tech, or even a specific weapon (built-in techs).
- the Tech Spark Rank of the tech: each tech is more or less difficult to spark (high TSR = more difficult).
- the Spark LV of the enemy you are fighting: in general strong enemies have a high Spark LV and a high Spark LV allows you to have a chance to spark techs with a high TSR, and if the enemy is weak you will only be able to spark a low-level techs (if any at all).

In a few, other words, to be able to have a chance to spark a tech:
1) your character must be able to learn it (adequate Type),
2) the attack you are using must be able to spark it (adequate attack),
3) the enemy's SparkLV must ideally be the same as (or higher than) the Spark Rank of the tech (adequate ratio of power).

See the Tech Sparking section for details.



COMPLETE TECHS TABLES


Note on the following Tables

Next to the English name of the Tech is the (SP Cost).
* before the name means that this is a built-in Tech, dependent on a specific weapon.
Below, the mined data ID value and the original Japanese name, for reference.

The initial Target can be: one enemy (1E), at close range (CR) or not, one row only (Row), all enemies (All), all units on the battlefields (ALL), one ally (1P), all allies (Party), or Self. Additional specifics: in the Spark / Special column.

Acc is an accuracy indicator; below are the factoring (Stats) that accuracy depends on.
Note that Suits and Gauntlets halve Bow techs accuracy.
Eva is a corrective value to the enemy's evasion rate. If Eva=0, shields/guards cannot activate.
Pwr is a base dmg indicator; below, the (Stats) on which damage output is dependent,
e.g. the character's fixed stats (STR DEX MAG SPD STA), SpellPwr (= MAG - Max[MAG - Logic, 0] x2), Previous (the value on which depended the previous action).
In addition, damage (if there is any) is also always dependent on 1) the Weapon Skill LV (e.g. for Sword Techs the Sword/Greatsword LV, with only one exception), and 2) the equipped Weapon Atk Pwr (e.g. for Sword Techs, that of the equipped sword used). Since this is always the case, those two factors are not mentioned in the tables below.
Hit# is the number of times a Tech hits.
Simply put, Pwr x Hit# is a good indicator of the efficiency of a particular Tech.
For all those numbers: the higher the better.
See the Tech Dmg Formulae section for details.

Type details the Types/Attributes of the attack:
- Physical: SL (Slash), BL (Blunt, Hit), ST (Stab, Pierce), SH (Shot, Arrow)
- Magical: HE (Heat), CO (Cold), BO (Bolt), STS (Status)
Monsters have separate defenses (and possibly immunities) against each of all these categories.
One tech (Aim) does not have any Type ('None'): it negates (bypasses) all enemy defenses (i.e. the Def values from their equipped items, but not an enemy's defensive stance 50% bonus reduction).
Additionally:
- GR = Ground attack (GR attacks do not work vs. FL enemies)
- Pressure = Air Pressure special element (techs: Airwave only) against which there is a possible immunity (items, monsters).
See the Attributes section and Status section for details.

This CT flag reflect the presence (o) or absence (x) of direct physical contact with the target (which may trigger a Counter tech or spell: see below). Note that Counters activate even if the attack misses, but not if the character is equipped with an Evade tech (which activates first).

The Spark / Special column gives first ('Spark: X n') which tech(s) can be used to spark the listed tech. The number after the tech name is the Tech Spark Rank: the higher the number, the more difficult it is to spark.
E.g.: From the Sword tech 'Slice', this column reads: 'Spark: 28, Double Cut 23', which means that you can spark Slice by using the basic Sword attack (difficulty = 28 in this case) or by using the Sword tech Double Cut (difficulty in this case = 23), which makes it easier to spark Slice from Double Cut than from the regular Sword attack.
Note that most techs can be sparked using a basic attack, but some cannot. Here is the full list of the techs that cannot be sparked by using a basic attack.

The column then details the tech specificities or effects if applicable.

The mention 'Cannot be countered' reflects the absence of a CT flag (see above) and means that the tech cannot be countered by an enemy's Counter tech. They are:
- Sword: Mach Blade, Prism Blade, Vacuum Slash, *Moonfall Slash, *Windwolf Blade, Dragonfang Blade, *Suction, *Divide, *Swarm, *Cyclone, *Final Strike.
- Greatword: Waterfowl Blade, Life Blade, *Jolting Slash, *Holy Light, *Lunar Blade, *Exorcism Blade.
- Axe: Tomahawk, Yo-yo, Dimensional Break, Sky Drive, *Boomerang, *Dance of Death, *Destruction.
- Club: Fissure Strike, Grand Slam, *Grand Buster, *Final Strike.
- Spear: Trip, *Poseidon Shot, *Thunder Volt, *Swooping Dragon, *Psycho Shot.
- Short Sword: Marionette, Snake Shot, *Fire Dragon Flood, *Floral Extravaganza.
- All Bow techs.
- Martial: Daze, Ki Blast, Paralyze, Mei Lua Compasso, Evil Crush, Guanyin, Red Drake Wave, Heel Stomp.
- and all Evade/Counter techs (Parry, Deflect, Windmill, Matador, Counter, Jolt Counter).

Some tech may inflict a Status ailment. Stun (especially), Paralysis, Confusion and Mad Biter's Silence can be extremely useful. See the Status section for details.
- Sleep: Headblow.
- Stun: Knee Split, Blunt Strike, Vertical Strike, Trip, Feint, Glamor Blade, Daze, Salamander Claw.
- Paralysis: *Lightning Slash, Sunder, *Halt, *Psycho Shot, Shock Rush, Stunner, Paralysis, Mei Lua Compasso.
- Confuse: Id Break.
- Charm: *Heart Seeker.
- Silence: *Mad Biter, *Fire Dragon Flood, Berserk.
- Poison: Hell Claw.
- Petrify: Petrify Rush.
- Insta-death: *Divide, *Surging Slice, *Killer Blade (vs. Human only), Dimensional Break, *Dance of Death, Full Flat, Side Winder & Snake Shot (vs. Amphibian-Frogs only), Eulogy, *Floral Extravaganza, Shade Arrows, *Execution Arrows.

Some techs deal a critical hit ('Crit vs. X') against a specific race, gender or status:
- Aquatic: *Poseidon Shot.
- Beast: Beast Slayer.
- Beastman: *Hunter's Fury.
- Insect: *Pesticide Blade
- Plant: Cut Timber, Tree Cleaver.
- Earth Spirit: *Grand Buster.
- Female: Screwdriver.
- Undead: Cross Cut, Evil Crush.
- Enemies with the Float (FL) status: Falling Phoenix.
Note that enemies with the FL status are immune to Ground (GR) attacks.

Some techs only deal damage to certain enemies:
- *Exorcism Blade vs. Undead and Demon.
- *Holy Light vs. Undead.

Note that 'Undead' (a special flag) = all Skeletons, most Zombies, most Ghosts. See this Note in the Monsters section for details.

Some techs get an initiative bonus (Quick Arrow) while some techs always play last (Still Blade, Life Blade, Aiming).

Some techs (Grand Slam, Starlight Arrows) have a peculiar delayed attack: the character plays as usual but the attack activates at the very end of the turn. These two techs follow special rules:
- If Starlight Arrow and Grand Slam are used in the same turn, only Grand Slam activates (no Starlight Arrow).
- If two characters (friend or foe) use Grand Slam in the same turn, only the one played latter activates. This can be used with benefits against Dantarg 3/4 (i.e. use Grand Slam with a slow character to cancel Dantarg's Grand Slams).
- Nevertheless, careful: if the character goes down or is paralyzed between his turn and the tech activation, the attack hits your party instead of the enemy!

If your character is equipped with a shield (or guard), note that Shield activation is prevented by two-handed attacks.
Such are all Greatsword, Spear, Bow and Martial (except Punch!) techs, and one Sword tech (Moonfall Slash).
Shields also do not activate against earthquake attacks (Fissure Strike, Grand Slam, Grand Buster).
A few techs allow shield activation before the tech is used but not after (Sword Final Strike, Whirlwind), or vice versa (Psycho Shot, Izuna). The reason for this is that the character is considered to have used the tech after which the collateral damage is calculated (e.g. Whirlwind: basic Bow attack --> Shields unusable / Izuna: Cyclone --> Shields usable).
Note that among the possible Formations bonuses is a double activation rate for Guards (related to the Defensive Stance) before or after the character's turn.

EVADE SKILLS

In battle, your characters can also learn to Evade specific Techs when they are attacked.

Only the Techs that have an Evade Rank value (which is the equivalent of the regular Techs' Spark Rank) can be Evaded.

If an Enemy's Tech can be Evaded (= has an Evade Rank) and if the enemy's TechLV is high enough, there is a probability that your character might learn to Evade the enemy's attack. The Evade Skill spark probability is determined by the same table as regular techs (see the Tech Sparking Probability section). Which means that Evades are more easily learnt when the enemy TechLV is the same as (20% chance) or higher than (7~9%) the Evade Spark Rank of the Evade Skill. An Evade Tech with an ER superior by more than 5 to an enemy TechLV is impossible to learn from that enemy.

Just like regular Techs, once you have sparked them in battle, they will become available in the Dojo after a Time Jump or after you defeat a Hero.

Just like regular Techs, Evade Skills must be equipped to be usable in battle and they take a slot in your Tech Equip Screen.
You can either learn them at the Dojo (the 3 training instructors in Avalon Castle, 1F, top right) or spark them in battle.

But unlike regular Techs, they activate automatically when the equipped character is attacked by the corresponding Tech, and they do not cost any SP when activated.

Notes:
- Evade techs prevent the activation of Counters (Evade techs activate first).
- Attacks with collateral damage, i.e. techs that allow only one target but which will incidentally hit characters behind or around the target, like Skewer or Final Strike: the collateral damage cannot be evaded with the corresponding Evade tech, but if the targeted character evades the attack, there is no collateral damage whatsoever.
- When a party member is Charmed, Confused (LV3) or Marionette-ed and attacks their companions, their attacks can also be used to spark Evade Skills. You can possibly create and control such situations on purpose, vs. by Medusa, Lilith, Robin, Bokhohn, for example. The Enemy 'TechLV' taken into account then is the average of your now-enemy character's Weapon LVs, i.e. =[SlashLV + StabLV + BluntLV + ShotLV + BareHandLV]/5. This incidentally means that if you max out all these stats you are then able learn the Evade Skills with a Spark Rank of 50 (otherwise impossible). For real completionists, this is also the only way to get (almost) all of the sparkable Evade Skills (good luck!).
- Remaster Only: The Evade Skill for Full Flat can be sparked against the first form of Dread Queen (Maze of Memory), and that for *Final Strike against Goblin Boss and Ancient Goblin 2.
- Evade tech sparking is impossible if the character is immune to the attack (e.g. Temptation while Mind immunity).
- Your characters can learn Evade skills even if the attack Misses, or if they are invisible. Making your whole party invisible is actually the best way to learn the corresponding Evades to Hit-All techs (no specific target). See the Invisible section for details.
- Evade sparking is also possible with Sword Barrier active.

In the table below, the complete list of the Evade Skills and the enemies who use them.
ER = Evade Rank.
(E) after the name = Enemy Tech only.
After each enemy name, between brackets, their TechLV.
Deflect has an Evade Skill, but it is obviously impossible to learn it.

ADVANCED SECTION


DAMAGE FORMULAE

Preliminary Notes:

Pwr is the base tech dmg indicator,
while Hit# is the number of times the attack hits.
Both values are specific to each tech (or spell) and are found in the Techs tables above.

RGN: a Randomly-Generated Number, between 0 (when WeaponLV=0) and (LVx3)+1.

EDEF is the Enemy Defense against the attribute of the attack.
If there are several attributes to the attack, the lowest is the relevant Def.
EDEF is negated for the few attacks that have no attribute ('None').
If the relevant EDEF > 128, then DMG = 0.

C is a complex variable. Its formula changes depending on the Weapon used, and it is dependent upon the relevant Weapon/Magic LV:
Sword: C = [(4900 - (70 - SWLV)^2) ÷128] +1
Greatsword: C = [(2500 - (50 - SWLV)^2) x3 ÷256] +2 + [SWLV^2 ÷256]
Axe: C = [(2500 - (50 - AXLV)^2) x3 ÷256] +3
Mace: C = [(4096 - (64 - AXLV)^2) ÷128] +1
Spear: C = [(10000 - (100 - SPLV)^2 ÷256] +2
Short Sword: C = [SPLVC ÷2] +2
Bow: C = [BOWLV ÷4] +5 + [BOWLV^2 ÷128]
Martial: C = [(2500 - Max(49 - MALV, 1)^2 ÷128] + [MALV÷4]
Magic: C = LV - [LV^2 ÷128] +2

For the dmg formulae of spells and the Thunder Volt tech, see the Spell Damage Section.

Note that, in general, if the result of a division is a fraction then it is rounded down to the nearest integer,
and if the total of a subtraction is negative, then = 0.

For the HP recovery formula, see the Healing section.


GENERAL WEAPON DMG FORMULA

This concerns most Sword, Greatsword, Axe, Mace, Spear, Bow techs and Weapon Counter techs.

DMG = (Base x Pwr + RGN - EDEFx5 ) x Hit#
where Base = [(Max(WpnAtk - EDEF, 1) x (100 - Statx2 + Cx8) + C x (99-WpnAtk+12x(Stat-10)) ÷ 64]

The relevant Stat here depends on the tech used. This information is also found in the Techs tables above.
Reminder: Stat =
- STR for Sword, Greatsword, Axe, Mace, Spear techs, and all Weapon Counter techs.
- DEX for Short Sword, Bow techs.
- MAG for *Swarm, *Windwolf Blade, *Dragonfang Blade, *Jolting Slash, *Psycho Shot, *Prominence, *Hunter's Fury.

As you can see, there is a special calculation rule here: if WpnAtk ≤ EDEF, then (WpnAtk - EDEF) = 1
This means that if the target's Def (EDEF) is higher than the attacker's Weapon Atk Pwr (WpnAtk), then it has an important buffer role, and that, inversely, if the attacker's Wpn Pwr is higher than the target's Def, the Def is ignored completely. It is important for your party (the techs used by the enemy follow the same formula) and it explains why lightly armored characters take full damage. This part amplifies the risk of the choice of speed over defense: lightly armored characters may play before the enemy, but the risk of being one-shot is important. Note that this can be partly by-passed by the Rapid Stream formation, that allows your characters to play first always (as long as no character is down).

Yo-yo dmg formula:
DMG= Base x 3x ([AXLV÷11] +1) +RGN - DEFx5
Which means that every 11 Axe LV, the Power of Yo-yo increases by 3, to reach 15 (= Sky Drive!) at AXLV 44, for the unchangingly low cost of 3 SP.

Still Blade dmg formula:
DMG = Base x (14 + n) + RGN - DEFx5
where 'n' is the number of attacks received.


MARTIAL DMG FORMULA

This concerns Martial Arts and Claw (Claw & Hell Claw) techs.
Note: The fact that Claw Extend equips your character with a Claw is irrelevant and its Atk Pwr (18) is never used in the dmg calculations.

DMG = ([(STR+SPD) x C x (Pwr-1) ÷8] + (STR-10) x (C+Pwr) + RGN - EDEFx5) x Hit#

From which we can infer that STR is more important than SPD,
and that EDEF has a lesser impact than for Weapon techs.

Note that Martial Arts techs RNG depends on MA LV, while Claw techs RGN depends on SW LV.


EARTHQUAKE DMG FORMULA

This concerns Fissure Strike, Grand Slam & Grand Buster.

DMG = (Pwr x3 x C + WpnAtk x Pwr + WW x4) + WBonus - EDEFx5
where WBonus = (STR - (WW x2 +1) x WW x4

These techs, which are all 3 unavoidable Ground attacks, have a very specific dmg formula:
- which also relies on the attacker's Weapon Weight (WW), the heavier (all in all) the better.
- in which there is no RNG element.

Reminder: Pwr = 4 for Fissure Strike, 5 for the other two.
Note: Fissure Strike 'C' value is that of the previous action (be it by a friend or foe). Which explains why a Fissure Strike as the first attack after a Save, Power Off, Power On, Load does outstanding damage (no ref --> 255 in many cases).


EVIL ERADICATION DMG FORMULA
DMG = [(MAG+5) x C x Pwr + RGN - EDEFx5

This concerns *Exorcism Blade and *Holy Light.
They only affect Zombie/Skeleton (+ Demon for Exorcism Blade), otherwise DMG=0, but they are very effective.

*Exorcism Blade (Exorciser tech): Pwr 5, STS attrib, C = (GreatSword C + UM C)÷2
*Holy Light (Dayblade tech): Pwr 4, STS attrib, C = (Greatsword C + Club C)÷2


HP DRAIN DMG FORMULA

DMG = [(LOG+5) x C x Pwr ÷4] + RGN

This concerns one ally tech, *Suction, and one enemy tech, Drain Blood.
The dmg cannot exceed the target's remaining HP, so against a defending target (DMG/2), it can never be a fatal blow.

*Suction (Spectral Sword tech): Pwr 3, STS attrib (Acc), C: Sword.
Drain Blood (B6, Enemy only): Pwr 2, STS Attrib (Acc), C: Sword.


HP RATIO DMG FORMULA

DMG = [E's Remaining HP x Pwr ÷8] + RGN

Only one tech in this category: Airwave (Pwr 5, SL). The dmg cannot exceed the target's remaining HP, so against a defending target (DMG/2), it can never be a fatal blow. Nevertheless it can be an exceedingly efficient tech (and concretely an Insta-death tech when coupled with Shadow Servant).


ACCURACY FORMULAE

Notes:
- 'Acc' is the accuracy basic value specific to each tech, found in the Techs tables above.
- WW is the used Weapon Weight, found in the Items section.
- ESPD is the Enemy's SPD.
- There is only one accuracy roll even for attacks with several hits (they either all land or all miss).
- When Blind, Acc is halved.
- On the turn Hasten Time is activated, all attacks that have a single strike (Hit#=1) always hit.


ACCURACY FORMULA FOR SWORD, GREATSWORD, MACE & SPEAR TECHS

Acc + LV + (STR - WWx5) + SPD - ESPDx2 > (RNG mod 100)

The formula is rather well-balanced and the relevant LV is probably the variable with the most room for growth and thus the largest influence.


ACCURACY FORMULA FOR AXE TECHS

Acc + LV + (STR - WWx5) x4 - ESPDx2 > (RNG mod 100)

Axe techs Acc values are all in all lower, hence a higher miss rate.
STR is the important stat here and must be as high as possible. Use buffs like Gilden Strength on Axe users during longer battles to increase the hit rate.


ACCURACY FORMULA FOR SHORT SWORDS TECHS

Acc + LV x2 + (DEX - 18) x4 - ESPDx2 > (RNG mod 100)

Short Sword techs have a higher hit rate thanks to higher Acc values and an increased influence of LV. If DEX > 19 the accuracy increases even further.


ACCURACY FORMULA FOR BOW TECHS

Acc + LV x2 + (DEX - 18) x4 - ESPDx2 > (RNG mod 100)

Same formula as Short Swords but with some lower tech Acc.
There is one additional, important rule: the accuracy falls by 20% if the character is equipped with hand gear or full armor. Be careful not to equip any on your Bow user(s).


ACCURACY FORMULA FOR MARTIAL ARTS TECHS

Acc + LV - ESPDx2 > (RNG mod 100)

MA techs Acc are quite high. There is only one main variable here, the character's MA LV.
Same formula for Claw techs, but LV = Sword/Greatsword LV.


ACCURACY FORMULAE FOR ATTACKS THAT INFLICT STATUS AILMENTS

This only concerns attacks that do not deal damage but only attempt in applying a Status Ailment (Death Paralyze Sleep Dark Mind Poison Stun Pressure Horror), like Feint, Halt!, Trip, Horror, etc. and a few special attacks (HP-absorbing attacks, Life Blade).
For the activation chance variables of the additional effects (status ailments, debuffs) of a main, damaging attack, see this section just below.

Status ailment effects are applied if they pass two successive rolls:
- your attack's accuracy roll (= does your attack hit the target?)
- the enemy's evasion roll (= can the enemy evade your attack?)

In a nutshell:
- when on the offensive, a higher relevant LV (and/or MAG, LOG) raises hit success probability.
- when on the defensive, a higher Def (STS Def most of the time) lowers the success chance of the enemy's attack.

Notes:
Acc is an accuracy indicator.
LV is the Weapon/Magic LV(s) the skill depends on.
For Fusion spells, LV = LV1+LV2, which is quite nice.
Eva is a corrective value to the enemy's evasion rate. If Eva=0, shields/guards cannot activate.
EDef is usually the Enemy's Status Defense, except for Blunt Strike / Airwave -> Sword, and Phlegm -> Shot.
For Acc, LV and Eva values, see the relevant Techs/Skills / Magic/Spells sections.


LV-dependent attacks
Concerns the vast majority of status ailment attacks.
Acc Roll: Acc + [LV/2] > (RGN mod 100)
Eva Roll: EDef x Eva ≤ (RGN mod 100)

The rest of the attacks have similar formulae:

LOG-dependent attacks
For attacks dependent on Logic (Dark Power): Sunspot Destroyer, Life Steal, Death Scythe (E), Astral Gate (E).
Acc Roll: Acc + LOG > (RGN mod 100)
Eva Roll: EDef x Eva ≤ (RGN mod 100)

LOG+LV-dependent attacks
This concerns HP Absorb, Suction, Bloodsuck (E).
Acc Roll: Acc + LOG + [LV/2] > (RGN mod 100)
Eva Roll: EDef x Eva ≤ (RGN mod 100)

MAG-dependent attacks
This only concerns the Short Sword tech Marionette.
Acc Roll: Acc + MAG > (RGN mod 100)
Eva Roll: EDef x Eva ≤ (RGN mod 100)

MAG+LV-dependent attacks
This concerns Airwave, Dark Wash, Phlegm (E), Spider Net (E).
Acc Roll: Acc + MAG + [LV/2] > (RGN mod 100)
Eva Roll: EDef x Eva ≤ (RGN mod 100)

How to Raise Status Ailment Attacks' Success Rate

It is possible to bypass these rolls partly or entirely, if the enemy has no immunity:
1) 100% success rate for Status Ailment attacks in the same turn after Hasten Time is used.
2) Eva Roll is disregarded when the attacker is already Invisible (Feather Seal, Mist Cover). Consequently, when Invisible, success rate raises considerably, to 100% for attacks that induce Stun Paralyze or Sleep.
Below, the conditions for a 100% success rate when Invisible:

Effect	Attack	100% success if Invisible +
Stun	Feint	Always
	Daze	Always
	Trip	Always
	Entangle	x
Paralyze	Paralysis	Always
	Blunt Strike	SWLV ≥ 26
	Stunner	BowLV ≥ 36
	*Halt	x
Mind	Ghost Light (Charm)	(PYLV+UMLV)/2 ≥ 18
	Heart Seeker (Charm)	BowLV ≥ 26
	Prism Light (Confusion1)	(HYLV+COSLV)/2 ≥ 28
	Horror (Confusion3)	Always
	Marionette (Target Change)	MAG ≥ 23
Insta-Death	*Divide	SWLV ≥ 26
	*Dance of Death	AXLV ≥ 36
	*Execution Arrows	SPLV ≥ 46
	Dimensional Break	x
	Sunspot Destroyer (LP-1)	LOG ≥ 18
Poison	Ill Storm	(HYLV+UMLV)/2 ≥ 28
HP-Ratio Dmg	Airwave	MAG+(SWLV/2) ≥ 23
	Dark Wash	MAG+(AELV+UMLV)/2 ≥ 8
HP Drain	HP Absorb	LOG+(AELV/2) ≥ 13
	Suction	LOG+(SWLV/2) ≥ 18
E Retreat	Life Blade	Always

ADDITIONAL EFFECT ACTIVATION RATE

Some HP-damaging attacks can inflict an additional effect, be it a Status Ailment (Death Paralyze Sleep Dark Mind Poison Stun Pressure Horror) or a debuff, to the target.

The roll that determines if the additional effect(s) is (are) applied or not, comes after 2 other rolls (1: main atk accuracy roll, 2: main atk evasion roll) and only if those are successful. See the Damaging Attacks Accuracy Formulae section above for more info about these Acc/Eva rolls.

If the target has no immunity and is not LP-dead,
the additional effect activates if: 'Def Limit Value' ≤ (RGN mod 100)

The Def Value varies depending on the effect (see table below) but at its core is the target's Status Defense, and it takes the general form of (E Sts Def + X) and that the lower it is, the higher the chances are that the additional effect(s) activate(s).

Notes:
- If the target is unable to fight (down), debuffs can/will still apply.
- If Def Value > 256, overflow happens and effect activation may fail.
- Crimson Flare is a very powerful attack but be mindful of the fact that decreasing the target's LOG has the effect of increasing their Spell Power.
- Eulogy has a very high rate of success (76-85% on SFC).
- All these attacks can be advantageously coupled with the Invisible status to raise the success chance. For those whose accuracy depends on the target's stats, debuffs (Deadly Drive..) can be used with profit to further increase your chances.
- If the main attack hits, Bonecrusher (STR-3), Nutcracker (PhysDef-50%) and Sidewinder / Snake Shot (Insta-Death to Frogs) have a convenient 100% activation rate.

The table below shows on which parameter(s) the activation of additional effects depends on.
(E) means that the attack is used by enemies/monsters only.
See the Techs/Skills section and the Magic/Spells section for more info about each attack.

BUFFS & DEBUFFS

During battle, it is possible to boost your stats and to lower your enemies', thanks to techs or spells.
Of course, the enemies can also boost their stats and lower yours.
(De)buffs depend on your Skill/Magic LVs and are hence very weak at the beginning of your adventure, but by endgame they can be quite efficient, especially when coupled with item & formation bonuses.

In RS2, once applied, buffs & debuffs have the following characteristics:
- their effects do not decrease over time (unlike in RS3)
- their effects do not expire until the battle ends
- they do not add/stack/cumulate: for each stat the latest modifier is applied (overwrites previous modification).

Notes:
- Exceptions: Dragon Pulse & Deadly Drive: their effects pile up but are cancelled once/after the target acts.
- Buffs, especially piled-up Dragon Pulses, can be profitably coupled with and in preparation to Phantom Chivalry (Amethyst Axe tech), Wraith Form (UM+TE MLV25), and Reverse Delta (Axe tech, Phone Version only, in which it is a Repeater Tech).
- All debuffs except Deadly Drive actually come as an additional effect to a damaging attack. Note that if the attack hits, there is another roll to determine if the effect is applied or not. Unlike for status ailments, there is unfortunately no visual sign that tells you whether the debuff has been applied successfully or not (it only shows through the enemy's performance).
