Description

Investigate (Alt: Occult Impaction) is a 2^nd class offensive skill available as Monk and Champion. It consumes 1 Spirit Sphere per cast. The damage increases proportionately with the enemy's soft DEF and hard DEF. Investigate is always Neutral element regardless of an equipped weapon's elemental attribute. Investigate ignores flee and perfect dodge.

Damage

The formula for Investigate is normal attack damage multiplied by the skill ATK boost and an adjustment multiplier.

• Adjustment = (Enemy DEF + [{Stats#VIT|VIT]]) / 100. This is the same formula used for Ice Pick.

The final damage dealt is not reduced by an enemy's DEF or [{Stats#VIT|VIT]]) as a normal skill attack would be. However, it will be reduced by cards or equipment.

Notes

• Using Call Spirits immediately after Investigate will negate the after-cast delay (since this is actually an animation delay).
• Causing your character to perform any other animation than Investigate's animation, such as taking moving, will also ignore the delay.

If the enemy's combined DEF is 0 or less, Investigate will miss. If your weapon has an elemental attribute, then, due to a bug in the way damage is calculated, your damage will be affected by GARMENT-based reductions of an opponent.

• This skill does not stack with the effects of Ice Pick.
