Quick question regarding elements. I've been playing this game for so long and I've heard so many different explanations on how much damage a weapon's element adds. Is what I see what I get i.e. 60% ele is 60% damage, or is there some weird formula for how my damage is buffed by element? :V

Use http://4rt.info/psod, put a weapon in then slide Element from 0 to 50 or 60 for a visual representation.

For the academic treatise, read http://ohpso2.wikia.com/wiki/Damage_Formula

tl;dr:

• Forces using Techs, 60% = 30% because Element Conversion
• For anyone else using Techs, 60% = 0%
• For anyone using Striking/Ranged, 60% = something kinda hard to explain in one sentence, go check the readings.

idk, this seems quite straightforward and self-explanatory enough. It's also how the matter was explained to me in chat once.

For melee/ranged wrapon, It's as easy as this:

A 1000 atk rifle with 50 light element. That means the weapon has 1500 base atk (with 500 is light damage). The element acts as the percentage increase.
This 1500 atk applies to all enemies, regardless of elemental weakness.


But if u attack something that had light weakness (for example, darkers), that 500 light dmg will gain increase of either 20% (if target has 2 or more ele weakness) or 30% (if single ele weakness). So, against light weak enemies, the atk is 1600-1650.

Alright, good to know that tech weapons don't get anything outside Conversion >:T Guess I won't buy that ele booster after all. Thanks, tho.

^There are 3 types of Persona solo battle:

1. Persona (masked) if you never reach EP2-7 (iirc), where you meet Persona unmasked. He/she stabbed Claris Claes Matoi.

2. Persona with your face, if you have done the above, but didn't clear EP3-7 yet.

3. Exact clone of you if you clear the above.

I'm not too sure about #2; I've cleared all Matterboards completely until EP3-3 and my [Persona] still had a mask from what I recall. Though, with all the flashing lights of my Barantsion and being half-asleep, I may not have noticed.

Just following up on this. I just ran the EQ, and indeed [Persona] still had the mask even though I had cleared through EP3-3, so if there is an unmasked, but not exact copy of the player, version of [Persona], clearing EP2-6 is not the trigger.

Spoiler!

^ Correction: Persona is unmasked in MB3-7 not 2-7

My question: Which AQ is the best/second best for solo leveling?

vhaq urban 4/4 party exit/corner bursting nothing even comes close

Preferably on vita blocks too. PC blocks have a terrible trend of constantly dropped bursts.

Urgh, I know about Urban, but for now I want to solo. I did specify solo condition in my question, didn't I?

My question: Which AQ is the best/second best for solo leveling?

Persona is first unmasked in 2-6.

To answer your question, Tunnels and Quarry are the best for solo leveling. Rush to boss, kill on the way optional. Hope for level 3 infected rare boss at end.
