Elementless

[ElvisDeadly]

Quick Question,

Do status weapons (blast, poison, sleep etc) benefit from non-elemental boost?

Because in most respects the game treats status/element as seperate things.

I'd check myself but not on the pc right now

I'm fairly certain status weapons do not benefit from elementless.

elementless works if the element or ailment is hidden only. for bowguns it only works if the bowgun cant use elemental ammo (regardless of what the bowgun itself says).

[Fat Pigeon]

No, as soon a status / element is awoken on a weapon its useless
But bowguns actually can use it, as long the Bowgun itself cant use any elemental ammo

[Seamus]

No, elementless only affects weapons with no element/status unless it's a hidden element like the Master Bang SnS.

Don't quote me on it, but I seem to recall status shots not counting against elementless on guns. Pretty sure my Great Bowgun LBG gets the elementless +10% in spite of having status shots as an option.

Thanks, i did think that was the way it worked.

Its funny though, cos when you look at the wording you can start to think if the elements are fire, water, ice, thunder and dragon - then a blast weapon, for example, has no element.

Nope, those have they own special ability and the reason why Kjarr weapons are soo strong.

elementless requires a hidden element if i remember correctly (to trade for the higher damage). so for pure raw weapons and weapons that come with stats or element it wont work since there is nothing to trade for more damage (option b is release element since weapons with hidden stats tend to have stronger versions of them). so technically its not having the status that prevents it but the lack of a hidden element /status that does.

Elementless requires hidden element OR no element/status aviable on the weapon

You guys are sure about this? I feel like I've checked damaged on a Royal Burst (poison) gunlance before and after equipping an elementaless jewel and it did more damage when equipped.

no its doesnt, shelling its affected by shell level and ranking.

training grounds its considered LR, so shelling will always do minimal damage there and goes up if you are doing HR missions.

Quite sure. Status counts as an element for the sake of the non-elemental skill.
