Thank you for this.

 

I. Skill Anatomy: picture.


Explanation.


1. Skill type:

- attack interrupts fake;
- block reduces damage from attack;
- fake breaks block.


2. Style element - internal strength boosts damage of specific element styles by 16% or 20% (this boost is not displayed in skill tooltip):

- Yang & Hard internal strength boost Yang & Hard (Gang) styles damage by 20%, TaJi by 16%;
- Yin & Soft internal strength boost Yin & Soft (Rou) styles damage by 20%, TaJi by 16%;
- TaJi internal strength boost TaJi styles damage by 20%, Yang & Hard and Yin & Soft skills by 16%.


3. Skill category:

- martial skill has a chance to interrupt spell;
- certain skills has interrupt immunity buff.


4. Base Skill Damage:

- yellow number is the base skill damage (including boost from weapon);
- base damage growth is a fixed value and is equal to lv1 skill damage * modifier.
- armors and weapons can have several enchantments to boost certain skill damage by 10% each.

5. Skill bonus damage:

- skill may have boost from Brawn (red number), Posture (green number) or Breath (blue number);
- boost is not 1:1, it vary from 10% to 150% of attribute value;
- skill can have boost from several attributes.

6. Damage type:

- all skills do either external (physical) or internal (elemental) damage;- external damage does not have element and can be reduced by armor (1000 armor = 10% damage reduction);

- gear can have enchantment to ignore certain amount of enemy armor;


- internal damage has one of 4 elements (yin/soft/yang/hard), it ignores armor but its damage is reduced by specific element resistance(100 resistance = 10% damage reduction);

- certain meridians give specific element resistance, other meridians give attribute to ignore all elements resistance;

- example from CN website:" ????????56????(?2?,???29?)" - when you check cn websites that's where and how damage element is displayed, this way you can check if skill damage is external or internal type; cn text says "does 56 points of harddamage (2 hits, 29 damage each)";

- damage elements are following, internal damage: ? - yang, ? - hard, ? - yin, ? - soft; external damage (waigong) is ??;

- if skill does not have damage numbers in tooltip - character attributes 'external accuracy' and 'internal accuracy' keeps the name of the last NPC hit by the external/internal type damage - just attack a different NPC and check it.
