The damage listed ([[Hitpoint|hit points]]) is derived from the [[AS]] based bolt spell version of Hand of Tonis (505). These same damage values are applicable for the bolt version of Web (118). Generally, there will be greater damage done with other spells, especially [[CS]] based and special attacks that have this damage type.

Unbalance critical table.

This table lists critical ranks and messaging for the unbalance damage type. Some of the spells that cause unbalance damage include, Unbalance (110), Hand of Tonis (505) when used as a bolt spell, and Web (118) when used as a bolt spell.

The damage listed (hit points) is derived from the AS based bolt spell version of Hand of Tonis (505). These same damage values are applicable for the bolt version of Web (118). Generally, there will be greater damage done with other spells, especially CS based, unbalance weapon/armor flares, and special attacks that have this damage type.

Since the purpose of unbalance is, first and foremost, to knockdown the target, there are very few (L3) injuries and even fewer fatal criticals associated with unbalance criticals.

Notes:

  • Knockdowns are an expected outcome for most criticals, especially the higher level ones. A critical without an associated knockdown is designated NK in the status effect column.
  • Limbs: The highest injury rank for limb criticals is L2 (fractured and bleeding). There are no L3 limb loss injuries.
  • Torso: There are no torso (chest, abdomen, back) fatal criticals; the only L3 torso injuries (deep gashes and serious bleeding) occur at critical rank 9.
  • Head, Neck, R/L Eye: Rank 9 criticals at these body locations are fatal.
  • Rank 8, R/L Arm messaging are different. The left arm messaging is similar to R8 R/L Arm disruption critical table.

  • F - Fatal critical
  • R - Injury level (rank 1, 2 or 3)
