Notes

  • If enemy has a resistance to a certain type of damage this ability will reduce it by 25% (from 50% to 37%, 25% to 18%, etc.).
    • This includes reducing 100% weapon immunities on enemies such as Jailer of Temperance to a 75% resistance.
    • This also includes resistances to magic and breath damage, so Jailer of Temperance can be nuked while Tomahawk is active.
    • This however has no bearing on elemental resistance, meva, or resistance ranks.
  • Must have a Throwing Tomahawk in the ammo slot in order to use the ability.
    • Does not require any throwing skill.
  • Very useful when fighting monsters like Elementals, Slimes, or Undead.
