![]() ![]() The lightning spreading to other enemies begins to build the debuff meter, while the original target suffers along with any that are chained and may be hit a second time by hits off his buddies. They're actually less effective on single targets unless it's a trash mob (you won't be able to lock down a Traveler or other strong enemy) because you'll lack the chain lightning. Shock arrows are amazing for clearing crowds, because when upgraded they will apply a chain lightning effect. Shock Arrows - Atreus Electrocutes Enemies This is the sole purpose of that stat, as far as I can tell. Some enemies are more resistant to debuffs so hitting them with a summon that has runic and having a volley of arrows ready can help you to apply the debuff. The more runic, the more of that arrow's specific type of debuff will be applied. The Elk and Falcons both have high runic stat, while murder of crows and wolves don't. Something worth noting here is that for Runic Summons, the type of arrow you have selected does matter in certain cases. Use light arrows for single targets that are resistant to shock.Ītreus' debuffs are interesting and highly useful. Atreus Atreus' shock arrows are amazing for clearing crowds of trash. This effect is actually kind of rare and only found on a couple of enhancements. ![]() Certain enchantments can increase the elemental damage Kratos deals or increase the rate that the weapon charges up. You're required to have certain skills to get this bonus - those that say the weapon will build up permafrost. Go long enough without attacking and the glow will disappear along with the bonus damage. Maintaining your momentum in combat is key. The additional magical damage is boosted instead by the Runic stat - every single hit, no matter what special you perform (maybe not applied to light/heavy runic attacks). In addition to this, the attacks now deal extra magical damage on each hit in addition to the normal damage that is determined by Strength. Aside from the icons, it's easy to tell when either is applied as the enemy will either appear very cold or the victim will be burning.Īfter 5-8+ consecutive hits without being touched by an enemy, Kratos weapons are gradually powered up, and will apply more of the debuff on each hit (so it takes less time to apply permafrost on a newly targeted enemy). Immolation on the other hand, does direct HP damage. Permafrost, when fully applied, makes Kratos and enemies slower. At that stage just a few hits can begin to apply permafrost to his enemies. At first it doesn't do anything, but momentum in combat will make his weapon begin to glow. Kratos can only charge his weapon up with the Permafrost and Glacial Permafrost Skills. You can also see this on the weapon icon at the bottom left of your screen.Įnemies and Kratos hit by ice or fire for long enough begin to suffer effects. Frostburn and Immolation The Leviathan Axe charged up with full permafrost effect. Blind and poison status effects can only be applied from enemies to Kratos. Kratos and Atreus can inflict a few of these toward enemies - namely shock, permafrost, immolation, and weaken. Once it's completely full and the timer around the edge (pictured below) begins to count down the enemy will be immune to further debuffs until it's cleared. As more of this effect is felt, the icon changes to represent that it has fully taken effect and will take some time to clear. A circle counts down to 0 and the enemy is now invulnerable to the debuff for a time.Ībove health bars - both Kratos and enemies' - small icons appear to denote that a debuff has begun to be applied. When the meter is filled, the full strength debuff is applied. The same can be said if you enter a Revenant's poison. How it Works A circle begins to fill to the top when a hazardous status is encountered, usually from arrows or Kratos' weapon. If an enemy is just a shot away from being electrified I want to know and exploit that! This is more important in GMGoW when enemies may enrage/level up and you need to focus them down one at a time. I went through the whole game without really noticing these icons, but they can be useful tactically. This guide seeks to help you understand what your light or shock arrows do to enemies, what immolation and frostburn do, and how poison impacts you on regular and Give Me God of War difficulty. God of War's debuffs system is not well-explained. God of War Status Effects Burning, Frozen, Weakness and other Debuffs
