Talk:Knockdown/@comment-33780977-20180527142653

I finally tested XuEn's hypothesis about certain elements (or Archmagicks), elements certain enemy is weak to in particular, having dramatic more stagger/knockdown power than the others. Tested with Holy[Frigging Bolt] on Cursed Dragon, Ice (Frigor) on FireDrake and Fire (Comestion) on Frostwyrm. For all tests I've been using just a goldforged Rusted Staff, plus 2x Barbed nails, Impact and Emphasis so, I also tested all other elements (only heavy hitting spells) on them for comparison. And naturally I was able to cross their damage threshold, gently, as I was aiming their heart.

The conclusions: - the knockdown power doesn't have to be that dramatic (Rusted Staff), but it still has to be considerable, for a specific Archmagick to work miracles. - Slow debilitation rocks ;) - and definitely it's good to cross the Magick damage threshold.
