Weapon Noble Sword, Iron Spear

Majesty

Activation Text FORCE
Effect The Majesty skill is interesting in that depending on your current health: your attack, defense, and damage will increase or decrease in proportion. The formula for majesty is: 1 + [(Current HP - 50) *0.0025]


  • At 450 health, the multiplier for attack, defense, and damage will max out at x2. Increasing life beyond 450 will not boost the majesty skill in anyway.
  • At 350 health, the multiplier for attack, defense, and damage will be 1.75.
  • At 250 health, the multiplier for attack, defense, and damage will be 1.50.
  • At 50 health, the multiplier for attack, defense, and damage will be 1. You won't receive any boost from using majesty.
  • Below 50 health, your stats will actually receive a small penalty if you use majesty.





In order to make use of majesty you should temper life and wear life boost items like the Feather Amulet. Make sure to keep your health high too. As it depends on current health and not max health.

Refer to the chart.
