More about status ailments (poison)

  • When a certain amount of damage is dealt with a weapon that can inflict status ailment, the monster will become affected.
  • When poisoned, the monster’s health will continuously decrease for a certain amount of time. Combining this with damage from attacks allows for more efficient hunting.
  • The Poison Attack skill increases the chances of inflicting poison.
  • While the Fire/Water/Thunder/Ice/Dragon Attack skills increase damage, the ailment-inflicting Poison/Paralysis/Sleep Attack skills do not affect damage but instead increase the buildup of the status ailment.
