Heres a interesting question. Its probally gonna be a no but hey I've been surprised before. Would viral shot stack with armor break?

I only have Viral Shot 1. So I can't compare with my Amor Break 3 and 4. I haven't even done everything yet and only just finished the Bridge of Hope boss on my first playthrough of this DLC. So I got a lot more to complete before I decide to grind this skill up.

Even if they are the same. There is also the chance Viral Shot might even not last as long. Otherwise it's dumb and broken. But I also don't know what the higher level requirements are either. So right now I can't say or test anything else.

Test it against armor break 1

Took me a while because I didn't realise that the damn Medal Gauge was increasing my damage everytime I changed the debuff.

I can confirm that Armor Break Shot 1 and Viral Shot 1 reduce the exact same amount of DEF and also last the same amount of time.


EXCEPT!!! Viral Shot is also a field AOE debuff! And Power Break at the same time.

Now the question is, are the requirements different at higher levels?
Because Viral Shot is straight up WAY better at level 1.

Or is this going to be one of the pay to win benefits of owning DLC? Just like the new sword beats every other sword by a lot.

@Electro errr in terms of how its sounds yea but execution i can tell it wouldnt make much of a difference lmao. Cause first bosses die at a fast pace for us and we can cheese ourselves being unkillable with low vit so wut the point of power break. Second yea umm getting 2 enemies or more in 1 tiny a$$ bubble that last for a couple of sec? yea uhh i better work on my persuasion cause that sounds very situational.

If for somehow the skill can prevent u from getting 1 shotted and your looking at a long game with a boss. yea sure lol
