Damage can be physical or non-physical. Physical damage is divided into the following categories: Standard / Striking / Slashing / Piercing The type of damage dealt depends on the weapon used and how it is wielded. The remaining types of damage can be divided into four categories: <?image@4401##12?>Fire <?image@4400##12?>Magic <?image@4402##12?>Lightning <?image@4403##12?>Holy Some enemies are especially vulnerable to certain damage affinities, which are also more likely to cause stagger. Awareness of damage types can make the difference in battle. HP is the life force of the player. Damage depletes HP, and fully depleting HP results in a kill.
