Different attacks do different types of damage, and different enemies may be resistant or particularly vulnerable to certain damage types. The basic types are:

==Exceptions==
It has been confirmed by Kipling that the damage bonus piercing weak mobs receive has been reduced to 12.5% on Horizon.
Some weapons have a different damage type than usual for their category.

* Rapier and Epee-type [[:Category:Swords|Swords]] deal Piercing damage. Some examples: [[Joyeuse]], [[Degen]], [[Fleuret]].

* Bilbo-type [[:Category:Swords|Swords]], such as the [[Tuck]], use a similar model as Rapiers, but still deal Slashing damage.

* The [[Swan Bilbo]] ([[:Category:Swords|Sword]]) deals Blunt damage.

* The [[Bourdonasse]] ([[:Category:Polearms|Polearm]]) deals Blunt damage.

* The [[Crude Sword]] ([[:Category:Great Swords|Great Sword]]) deals Blunt damage.

* The [[Honebami]] ([[:Category:Great Katana|Great Katana]]) deals Blunt damage.

* The [[Chiroptera Dagger]] ([[:Category:Daggers|Dagger]]) deals Slashing damage.

* The [[Vampiric Claws]] ([[:Category:Hand-to-Hand|Hand-to-Hand]]) weapon deals Slashing damage.

* The [[Birdbanes]] ([[:Category:Hand-to-Hand|Hand-to-Hand]]) weapon deals Piercing damage.

* When using the [[Monk]] [[Job Ability]] "[[Formless Strikes]]", the damage type of melee strikes and kick attacks is nonphysical, non-elemental. This damage will not be subject to any of the damage-type specific bonuses or penalties below.

Despite having an uncharacteristic damage type when meleeing, these exceptions still use normal damage types during [[Weapon Skill|weapon skills]]. For example, when performing a weapon skill with [[Vampiric Claws]] or while using [[Formless Strikes]] and any [[Hand-to-Hand]] weapon, the damage type is Blunt.

Different attacks do different types of damage, and different enemies may be resistant or particularly vulnerable to certain damage types. The basic types are:

Icon Damage Type Weapon Types
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Blunt Hand-to-Hand, Club, Staff, Harlequin Frame, Stormwaker Frame, Sharpshot Frame
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Slashing Axe, Great Axe, Great Sword, Sword, Scythe, Katana, Great Katana, Valoredge Frame
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Piercing Dagger, Polearm, Archery, Marksmanship, Shuriken, BoomerangError creating thumbnail: File missing

Exceptions

Some weapons have a different damage type than usual for their category.

  • Bilbo-type Swords, such as the Tuck, use a similar model as Rapiers, but still deal Slashing damage.
  • When using the Monk Job Ability "Formless Strikes", the damage type of melee strikes and kick attacks is nonphysical, non-elemental. This damage will not be subject to any of the damage-type specific bonuses or penalties below.

Despite having an uncharacteristic damage type when meleeing, these exceptions still use normal damage types during weapon skills. For example, when performing a weapon skill with Vampiric Claws or while using Formless Strikes and any Hand-to-Hand weapon, the damage type is Blunt.
