Weapon Effects

Armor Melt: When the weapon is fully charged, the next attack will apply an armor melt effect to enemies for 45 seconds, increasing the physical and flame damage they take by 10%, and in team play this value is additionally increased by 15% (armor melt replaces the grievous effect on the target and does not allow grievous to get applied again for the duration of armor melt). Every 15 seconds, a target affected by armor melt will be stunned for 2 seconds when taking physical damage and slowed by 50% for 5 seconds when taking flame damage.
Physical Resonance: Increase Physical ATK by 15% and Physical Resistance by 25%. Activate by equipping 2 or more Physical weapons. This set effect works in the off-hand slot. It cannot stack with other Physical Resonance effects, with Physical Resonance taking precedence.
Flame Resonance: Increase Flame ATK by 15% and Physical Resistance by 25%. Activate by equipping 2 or more Flame weapons. This set effect works in the off-hand slot. It cannot stack with other Flame Resonance effects, with Flame Resonance taking precedence.
Flying Blade: On-Field: When landing any hit with Equilibrium, it deals damage to nearby targets equal to 2,250% of physical ATK plus 38% of the Wanderer’s Max HP plus 1.350% of the sum of all the Wanderer’s resistance types plus 4,500% of crit. This effect can be triggered up to 1 time every 1.5 seconds. The Flying Blade damage is counted as normal attack damage. If there is 1 frost/volt weapon of any kind equipped, Flying Blade damage is multiplied by 2.5 times. In addition, Flying Blade damage is not affected by any damage boost effects except from titan equipment’s rare stats, and won’t trigger additional attack effects.
