Boss Weaknesses and Resistances

A) Please be advised that only *one* Element can be hit at once; however, you can combine Racial and Elemental weaknesses (1x each). This can result in multipliers up to 16x (Rubi form of Elements for example - Mage Racial (4x) * Ice Weakness (4x) = 16x).1)

B) For physical damage, weaknesses overrides resistance. e.g., if you have a Fire Claw and a Ice Claw equipped and attack Rubicant, you will still deal 4x damage.

C) If Bnofree is enabled, all enemies in boss fights (except for the Alt Gauntlet) will have the boss bit, making them immune to status effects.

D) If an enemy does not have the boss bit, it is vulnerable to Stop and Weak.
