Stab, Slash, and Crush
« on: June 02, 2015, 07:46:08 pm »
I'd just like to clear up some confusion I've had since revisiting Emps.
I know prior to this, - if memory serves me correct - back in Scape, we still listed the stats for Stab, Slash, and Crush Attack/Defense Bonuses.
Here, however, we only list it as Melee, which is fine by me.
Yet, when I hover over Attack Styles on the Combat Tab, it still lists what style (Stab, Slash, or Crush) of attack the melee weapon I am using does.

For example, the D Hasta's Train-Attack Lunge lists Stab, the Train-Strength Swipe and Pound list Slash and Stab, and the Train-Defense Block lists Stab as well.
So my question is, do these styles of Melee Attacks actually work in World? Let's say, although they're not really listed as information anywhere in the Wiki, some enemy is weak to Stab Attacks. Would a Stab-Based Melee Attack be best to use? Or are they kinda pointless?

Basically summing it up: Do the Combat Styles for Melee Weapons actually attack with their listed Attack Style (Stab, Slash, Crush)?

Monsters have no weaknesses or strengths in Emps scape: All combat styles are treated the same since the combat updates in okt 2014.

This is best visualized in your equipment screen: there are no individual bonuses listed for the different attack styles Stab, Slash and Crush, and neither for defense bonuses. The only notable difference between the styles is the way your character attacks, it stabs when you use stab (duh).

All of the combat styles are in fact treated the same, The links posted to you can aswer to your questions. BUT. There are some monsters that are vulnerable to different attacks (ex. Dragons vulnerable to water magic attacks).

Alright, thanks for clearing that up.
I came back to Emps this February, so I didn't see these updates.

Yeah, I recall reading about some of those. I just wasn't sure if this was applied to the melee styles as well.
