Showdown is a skill available in Dragon's Dogma.
Description[]
- "An advanced form of Staredown that greatly boost the user's Strength for a longer period of time."
An advanced version of Staredown that causes Strength Boosted but with Defenses Lowered just under one minute.
The effect is similar to that from consuming a single Vigor Extract.
In Dark Arisen, Showdown becomes Crackdown when a suitable Assassin's Ring or Assassin's Band is equipped.
Notes[]
| Skill | Strength boosted | Defense reduced |
|---|---|---|
| Staredown | 30s | 30s |
| Showdown | 56s | 56s |
| Crackdown | 90s | 90s |
- Voidspell will erase the lowered defense debilitation while leaving the Strength boost. A Sorcerer pawn with Voidspell will instantly heal the lowered defense condition and keep the strength boost perfectly intact.
- Alternatively Dose of Courage can be consumed.
- Staredown, Showdown, and Crackdown all increase physical attack power by 20%, and lower defense (increasing received damage) by 30%.
- The boosts stack with other item based boosts such as Vigor Extract or Conqueror's Periapt.
- Like other potion based strength boosts the effects do not show in the numerical stats.
- The maximum stack is four boosts - using Showdown after using four Conqueror's Periapts has no additional effect on strength.
- The Bonus Enhancement: "Extends the duration of attribute boosts applied to you." does not effect Showdown.
- Gale Harness hastens the charge time for this skill.
- While activated, attempting to enable the skill a second time will cancel the effect almost instantly.
- When the effect of Staredown ends, or the skill is canceled, stacked Strength Boosted and Defenses Lowered will also be removed - so caution is required when using in combination with Conqueror's Periapt and similar items.
- This effect may be abused in order to remove Defenses Lowered debilitation inflicted by enemies' attacks.
