■ About Attribute Addition
When under the buff effect of Spring Dawn, Wind attribute is added at a value equal to 25% of the used skill’s power.
Image example (with skill distribution shown as 100)
----------------------------------------------------------------
■ About Damage Multiplication
Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter increases damage by 1.25x per buff effect, and when all buffs are active, damage is doubled.
During this, the damage cap is ignored.
*When applied to player characters, damage multiplication does not apply to monsters with the Covenant trait.
----------------------------------------------------------------
■ Other Effects
Additionally, the buffs from Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter have the following effects:
・Corresponding Attribute +50
・Reduce the cooldown of the [Ougi Thorn Season Distant Yet Near] by 10 seconds
・Attack -10%
・Inflicts Poison status that deals 100 damage per second ・Inflict Poison status for 20 seconds, dealing 150 damage per second
Sei Shonagon constantly activates the buff Toxic Reversal, which converts poison damage into healing, allowing her to recover from poison damage.
----------------------------------------------------------------
■ Applying Buffs to Others
Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter, when activated, forcibly grants the buff to party members. Along with the buffs, the drawbacks of Poison status and Attack -10% are also applied, up to all four at once.
Depending on the monster, the drawback may reduce the damage dealt.
Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter is a powerful buff, but be mindful that it also forcibly applies drawbacks!
Additionally, even when accompanying you, Sei Shonagon may apply the Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter buff to player characters.
*Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter is only applied to player characters in the party and is not applied to Vanguard Characters or Battle Mounts.
*The poison damage from Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter will not reduce HP to 0; a minimum of 1 HP will be maintained.
