[Solved] Does Deathblade's Surge skill do stagger/weakpoint?

[Sheeno]

Theres no information i can find about the deathblade's surge skill, and what the stats are for the finisher speciffically, but it would be good to know weather the skill has stagger and or weakpoint, it sucks it does not show the skill stats anywhere on the speciality meter

Answer:
Found spreadsheet guide on Stagger:

Ive done a few tests, in the training grounds and training room. Both tests seem to indicate that Surge Stagger is either lowest or low (lowest being similar to skills that dont even show stagger because ALL skills do some stagger damage). Ive tested it using my different stagger lvl abilities. My Low Damage Med-High skill, does more stagger damage than the High Damage lvl 3 Surge Finisher. meaning its not med-high or above. It did do about the same stagger dmg as my similar damage Moonlight Sonic, which has no stagger stat ( in Proving Grounds).

In the Training grounds it was roughly the same but damage is off cause of them giving you specific stats and abilities, but my lvl 3 surge half a stagger bar where as low dmg low stagger headshot did roughly the same.

In conclusion: i would obviously be in Surge while doing a Stagger Check, however I would only use the surge finisher if i was out of other stagger skills as it is a very high damage skill and even skills without stagger stats do do some stagger dmg even if its Lowest

You should check on Reddit or Google Search Lost Ark Stagger Values. There's a Reddit post where some people made a Google Doc that has values for Stagger values. It's not very accurate in-game when they just say: Low, Mid, Mid-High, High, Highest.

I don't think Surge does Weakpoint/Destruction though. Would be very OP if it did considering we rotate that every 5-10 seconds depending on your specialization lol. I remember getting told off by someone when we were trying to do a Stagger check and I used Surge and the dood was like, "Why did you use Surge, it does not stagger. I should know because I play the class and I know the animation of it" like wtf.

Found the link to the post and I can confirm its accuracy.

Originally i used Earth Cleaver with weakpoint detection, and leap attack since it would be guaranteed crits on bosses who are push immune i figured damage wise it would do the most stagger. However, it seems like skills that can be upgraded to hit more is better than actual dmg increases when it comes to stagger. For instance, I did not know that Darkness injection caused a mini explosion or that it does it with multiple hits of the skill. Earth explosion allows Earthcleaver to hit multiple times (2 normally and even 3 in a sweet spot distance) meaning Dark Injection would cause a mini explosion 2-3 times. so you'd hit the boss 4 - 6 times with 1 Cleave , which nearly tripled what my stagger was doing in the proving grounds.

Also yea as i thought, the spreadsheet does say that SurgeFinisher stagger is pretty low. and funny enough i didnt even think about the dmg when u activate surge, which according to the guide is not that far off from the Finisher. So *Stagger Bar appears* > Activate Surge > Do Stagger skills > Surge Finisher. This would net the most stagger damage for Deathblade.
