Bindings ?

[Mayaume]

I don't get exactly what this means. Is it like poison confusion paralysis etc ?

[Damon]

It stops the body part to use skills. For example binding head could block it from cast spells. I still have not fully understood all enemies and which binding is good so it can be confusing. But Dark Hunter is great and helps a lot anyway.

Ok thanks

Bindings also have some secondary effects:

Bind Arm: Halves strength. Physical skills will be defanged.
Bind Legs: Can't dodge
Bind Head: TEC halved: This means that the monster both deals less magic-based damage and takes MORE magic-based damage.

That does not apply in this game. The effects are different here.

Head: 20% less accuracy.
Arms: 30% less STR.
Legs: 30% less AGI. In the DS original this did not disabled escaping, but it does here!

Whoa, thanks for the correction. I know that the version that I mentioned above relates to Etrian Odyssey III. And the version that you mentioned applies to EOI. Which version does EOII use?
