Strike-back damage

This page needs content: messages missing

• Strike-back damage is applied whenever you are hit by a foe.
• Each damage type has a specific message associated to it.

Your opponent is damaged by your fierce defenses, and takes X damage.

Part of your opponent's blow comes into contact with your sonic defenses, causing your equipment to reverberate with a resounding CLONGGGGG! It causes X damage to your opponent.

Your opponent's attack triggers a blast of frost that sprays them for X damage.

Your opponent becomes slightly dissolved (ew) by your acidic defenses, and takes X damage.

With a WHOOSH! your firey defenses activate in response to your opponent's attack, reflecting X damage onto your opponent.

• Fire Shield has a different message. See specifics on its page.
• Strike-back damage cannot kill an opponent. When an opponent would have been killed by strike-back damage it is canceled and you get a message right after the regular message, depending on damage type:

Physicial: Your opponent appears to be in pretty bad shape. It pulls back before your defenses cause it critical damage.

sonic: Your opponent appears to be pretty shaken up by the noise.

ice: Your opponent appears to be pretty shaken up by the noise.

acid: Missing

fire: Your opponent appears to be pretty shaken up by the noise.

• Frusion Enemies take only one Strike-back damage every hit, with a special message:

Your opponent seems slightly put off by your defenses, and takes 1 damage.

• Amounts for Skills are affected by S, the number of skill points invested in the skill.
