Mechanics of Royal Arms
- Your HP is drained based on each enemy struck, not each attack performed.
- HP drain can actually put you in danger state. Don't try to keep attacking and being confident in being a one-hit wonder. This is especially true if you use Overwhelm at low HP; you might be invincible to enemy attacks, but you can still be downed.
- Royal Arms ignore resistances, meaning you can confidently take down enemies with weapon/elemental resistances. It cannot, however, push through Enemy invulnerability.
- Royal Arms cannot take advantages of weaknesses. Their only damage modifiers come from critical attacks and warp strikes.
