Description

Joint Beat is a 2nd class offensive skill available as Lord Knight. It is a ranged attack that deals insignificant damage and has a chance to cause 1 of 6 abnormal status effects on the enemy:

• Ankle Break: Reduce Movement Speed by 50%.
• Knee Break: Reduce ASPD by 10% and Movement Speed by 30%.
• Neck Break: Weakens them so Joint Beat causes 2x damage and inflicts bleeding.
• Shoulder Break: Reduce soft DEF by 50%.
• Waist Break: Reduce soft DEF and ATK by 25%.
• Wrist Break: Reduce ASPD by 25%.

Skill Level	ATK ratio	Cast delay	SP cost
1	60%	0.8 sec	12
2	70%	0.8 sec	12
3	80%	0.8 sec	14
4	90%	0.8 sec	14
5	100%	0.8 sec	16
6	110%	1.0 sec	16
7	120%	1.0 sec	18
8	130%	1.0 sec	18
9	140%	1.0 sec	20
10	150%	1.0 sec	20

The success rate is based on the following formula:

Success chance (%) = (50 * (Skill Level + 1) - (270 * Enemy Strength) ÷ 100) * 10

and the duration of the statuses is based on the following formula:

Duration (sec) = 30 - (LUK ÷ 4 + AGI ÷ 10)

Notes

• Requires a Spear weapon.
• Joint Beat's ATK ratio is only higher than a basic attack at level 6 and higher. At levels 1-4, it does less damage than a basic attack, and at level 5 it does the same.
• There is no indication of success upon inflicting a status on the target besides general observation.
• The statuses all stack.
• The duration of the statuses is reset each time a status is inflicted.
