Notes/Description[]

  • Attacks with Formless Strikes active are less powerful than physical attacks, but are not affected by physical and/or blunt resistance. Damage through physical-immune statuses such as Invincible is also possible.
  • For this reason, it is best used against monsters that resist physical attacks, such as Elementals.
  • Attacks are considered non-elemental magical damage instead of Physical damage
  • Formless Strikes attacks still give the user and the enemy normal TP.
  • Attacks can be "resisted" and deal reduced damage, an effect likely determined by the opponent-player level difference.
