This table includes the messaging, [[status]] effects and injury ranks for the vacuum [[:Category:Damage Types|damage type]]. Vacuum (also commonly referred to as air) critical damage, can result from certain spell attacks, such as [[Cone of Elements (518)]] Vacuum Bolt, vacuum [[flare]]s from various sources, or natural environmental effects.

Since this is a [[CS]] based table, there will be variable damage values for each [[critical]] rank/body location depending on target resistance along with other factors. Typically, the damage will equal 5 times the critical rank for ranks up to rank 6. Ranks 7 - 9 will often have greater damage, especially torso hits.


The damage values listed in this table are [[Attack strength|AS]]-based.


Notes:
*Rank 8 and 9 R/L Eye messaging may be reversed but were placed in this order based on damage values.
*Rank 5 R/L Arm have asymmetric damage values (Right 15 dmg, Left 20 dmg).
