Notes

  • Starburst and Sunburst have a base damage of your level + 2 (last verified in Jan 2024)
    • The formula is unchanged from the original pre-2014 versions, so it doesn't use your weapon's item level. The base damage is calculated as follows:
Starburst/Sunburst Base Magical WS Damage: floor( ( Level + 2 + floor(Stat Modifier) ) * fTP) + dSTAT + Magic Damage (Statistic)
  • The final Weapon Skill damage will use the monster's Blunt Damage Taken % instead of Magic Damage Taken % for the TMDA term.
    • It's not a hybrid weapon skill, there's no physical damage calculation. It just uniquely uses Blunt DT in the magic damage calculation.
  • The element will be Element: Light Light or Element: Dark Dark picked at random.
