GC-Item: Item Abilities and %'s

[Ketchup345]

Does anyone know if say, i find a Bravace or Anti-Android Rifle, if i get it to 100% using the photon sphere quest, or has naturally high Machine %'s, do the %'s apply to the special tecnique damage? And do grinds also affect the tecnique damage?

Percentages do not effect special attack effectiveness, they merely raise the weapon's ATP by x% if that enemy is that specific area type. However, a higher hit bonus and subsequent ATA will improve your hit rate, also improving the chance that the special attack will hit. Just keep in mind that it doesn't effect whether or not the special attack will actually work. Special attacks have an internal calculation all their own.

For example: you could be using a Hell Laser to strike an enemy down in one blow. If you ATA is high enough (say over 300), you're almost guaranteed to never miss. However, just because the attack hit doesn't mean the special is going to work. That is calculated separately from the actual attack accuracy. In Ultimate difficulty a Hell special has a very low success rate, even if you never actually miss.
