Cursed weapon

So i was trying to make Cursed Hammer using vartan, but for some reason its turn into piercing instead of crushing.

So the question is, why do i get piercing despite (from what i read) vartan only turn into crushing type?
Does he bring along his Dragoon properties? cz i use dragoon before bodysnatching that winged.

I also wondering if race affect the weapon type, because i keep snapping my winged rune fencer for my cursed spear for almost 3hours and and never got any crushing. its always slashing and piercing orz

The list of possible Physical/Racial Damage Bonus Types (per Class) found in the Neoseeker's Cursed Weapons Guide is unfortunately incomplete, or is based on outdated information.

The Race of a snapped unit doesn't seem to change the pool of Physical/Racial Damage Bonus Types that the resulting snapped Cursed Weapon draws from. Some Physical/Racial Damage Bonus Types just seem to have a lower chance of being drawn.

I wouldn't worry about the Physical Damage Type of your Cursed Weapon unless it's for roleplay purposes, since the Physical Damage Type of a Weapon only determines which Physical Resistance's total value (on its wielder's Armor) is applied to the damage calculations of incoming Attacks.

Oh i thought the data was from data mining.

So it doesnt matter? Cz ive always heard that crushing is superior than the other damage type.

Crushing has a pretty good spread on heavier armors, and it allows for some disgusting gear customization like the below.

Could've gone for more, but have already long since abandoned that file because Denam with about 500 in all stats just wasn't fun anymore.

A Weapon's Physical Damage Type is only used by the game to determine which Physical Resistance's total value (on its wielder's Armor) is applied to damage calculations of all incoming Attacks.

It is true that most Relic Armor pieces that feature Human Resistance also have a higher Crushing Resistance cap than Slashing/Piercing, but the caps of at least one of the latter two are usually only one or two points behind. And for Relic Body Armor/Legguards, the Vikrant Mail/Watery Greaves are viable alternatives to the Falcon Mail/Earthen Greaves if you're trying to maximize Physical Resistance (which matches the Physical Damage Type of your unit's main-hand Weapon) and Human Resistance values for units wielding Slashing/Piercing Weapons.

A Weapon's Physical Damage Type (and by extension the Physical Damage Type of Basic Attacks made with the Weapon) is only used by the game to determine which Physical Resistance's total value (on its wielder's Armor) is applied to damage calculations of all incoming Attacks.

It is true that most Relic Armor pieces that feature Human Resistance also have a higher Crushing Resistance cap than Slashing/Piercing, but the caps of at least one of the latter two are usually only one or two points behind.

Yeah that exactly what i did for my ravness, just wondering how good on the offensive haha

A Weapon's Physical Damage Type has no mechanical purpose in this game other than to determine which Physical Resistance's total value (on its wielder's Armor) is applied to damage calculations of all incoming Attacks.

This means that a Weapon's Physical Damage Type has no effect on damage calculations of Basic Attacks performed using said Weapon.

Aye. As reliable as usual, Rucession.
Thanks!!
