What are Attributes†

Attributes determine the degree of effect or influence when using skills or attacking. Here, you can give casts and skills individuality by specifying affinities between attributes, such as the "fire" attribute being weak against the "ice" attribute but strong against the "wind" attribute.

Function Description†

• Add
  Add an attribute.

• Add Folder
  Create a folder.

• Copy
  Copy the data of the selected attribute.

• Paste
  Paste the copied attribute data into the last column.

• Delete
  Delete attribute data.

• Management Tags + Notes
  You can add management tags and jot down memorandums.
  Tags are registered by adding # to the beginning of the line. Tags and notes entered in this field will not appear in the game.

Attribute Definition Properties†

• Name
  Enter a name for the attribute.
  You can also write a description of the attribute.

• Icon Image
  Specify an icon image for this attribute.

Attribute Definition Properties: Basic†

• Compatibility Between Attributes
  You can set the compatibility of this attribute with other attributes between -9999% and 9999%.
  The amount of damage received from "attacks with the specified compatibility attribute" is changed by the specified rate.
  If 50%, the damage is halved; if 150%, it heals for 50% of the damage.
  If -50% is specified, the damage is increased by 1.5 times.
   
  The list displays the attributes registered in "Attribute Definition". "None" indicates no attribute.

How to Set Attributes†

Attribute compatibility can be set in the "Attribute Definition" section of the Database.
It is the resistance of the attribute being selected that is specified.

Enter a numerical value for the multiplier for the currently selected attribute for "when receiving attacks."
At "0", it takes an equal amount of damage.
At "-100", the damage is doubled.
At "50," the damage is reduced by half.
When attacking with bare hands, the "cast" attribute has no effect on damage. If you want to use the attributes of the "cast" when "attacking", please use an item or skill.

Specify Compatibility of Attributes in Attribute Definition†

In this case, we will specify that fire, ice, and wind will do double the damage, and half the damage in the opposite case.
"None" indicates no attribute.

• First, open the Database > Attribute Definition.
• Specify an attribute to be set from the list.
• Enter a value in the "Compatibility Between Attributes (%)" field.
• Enter "50" to halve the damage from ice.
• Enter "-100" to double the damage from wind.

• Example 1: Set the attribute to be attacked
  2x damage from fire and wind, equal from fire, 0.5x from ice

  None	0
  Fire (Same Attribute)	0
  Ice	50
  Wind	-100

  

We will specify two more in the same way.
2x damage from ice and fire, equal from ice, 0.5x from wind

2x damage from wind and ice, equal from wind, 0.5x from fire

Specify Attributes for a Cast†

• Specify the attributes specified in Specify Compatibility of Attributes in Attribute Definition for a cast.
  • Open the Database > Casts.
  • Select a cast from the list for which you want to specify attributes.
  • Click on Attributes at the bottom center.
  • From the Simple Asset Picker, select the attribute you specified earlier.
    

Specify Attributes for Items and Skills†

The above settings alone have no effect on the damage, since the attributes of the attacker are not specified.
The attacker's attributes are reflected by specifying the item's "Attribute Attack Power" or the skill's "Attack Attribute".
For this reason, we specify attributes for equipped weapon items or skills.

Items†

• First, turn on "Weapon" in "Basic Settings".
  
   
• Then "Attack Attribute" and "Damage Formula (HP)" are automatically added to "Item Abilities".
   

• Click on the "None" field to the right of "Attack Attribute" and select the attribute specified in Specify Compatibility of Attributes in Attribute Definition from the Simple Asset Picker.
  
  
   

• Enter the "Attribute Attack Power" further to the right. In this case, enter "100".
  
   
• Then edit the "Damage formula (HP)". Click on the "Edit" field.
  
   
• You can enter the damage formula in the formula setting. This time, enter ((a.atk - b.def ) + a.eatk * b.edef) in the field.
  

• Example 2: Specify Attack Attribute: Item

  Basic Settings
  Weapon	ON

We use a formula that excludes random elements from the default formula.

• Equip the weapon specified in Example 2 and attack
  Attacks the cast of attributes specified in Specify Compatibility of Attributes in Attribute Definition above.
  From left to right: Damage from attacks on fire, ice, and wind casts.
  (Damage depends on status and damage formula.)
  
   

Damage formula: Additions†

Here is the damage formula used for this project.
((a.atk - b.def ) + a.eatk * b.edef)

The equation can be reworded as follows.
( (User Status: Attack Power - Target Status: Defense) + User Status: Attribute Attack Power Fire * (Target Status: Attribute Resistance: Fire))

For clarity, let's look at the actual parameter values. This is the value when attacking an enemy cast with the ice attribute.

The "Attribute Resistance: Fire" of the target (defender) status is -100, indicating that the Attribute Attack Power has been increased or decreased.
((Attack Power 40 - Defense Power 10) + Attribute Attack Power: Fire 100 * (Defender Cast Attribute: Ice=2x Fire Damage) = 30 ＋ 100 * 2 ＝ 230

Equipping armor items can increase the resistance of an ally's attributes, reducing the damage they receive, or reduce the resistance of an enemy's attributes with a skill's resistance reduction, inflicting heavy damage.

Specify Attributes for Skills†

• First, turn on "Available in Battles" in "Basic Settings".
  
   

• Next, under "Skill Abilities", switch to the "Effect on Enemies" tab.
  
   

• Select "Single Enemy" from the pull-down menu.
  
   

• Then add "Attribute" and "Damage to HP" from "Add".
  
  
   

• Click on the "None" field to the right of "Attribute" and select the attribute specified in Specify Compatibility of Attributes in Attribute Definition from the Simple Asset Picker.
  
  
   

• Enter "30" for "Damage to HP" this time.
  
   

• Example 3: Specify Attack Attribute: Skill

  Basic Settings
  Available in Battles	ON

• Attack with the Skill specified in Example 3
  Attacking the cast of the attributes specified in Specify Compatibility of Attributes in Attribute Definition above.
  From left to right: Damage from attacks on fire, ice, and wind casts.
