Poise[]

Poise Bar Length[]

The length of the poise bar is different between Single-Player Mode and Co-Op Mode.^[1]

In Single-Player Mode,

$\text{Real Length} = \text{Standard Length}$

In Co-Op Mode,

$\text{Real Length} = \text{Standard Length} \times \text{Co-Op Coefficient}$

Generally, Co-Op Coefficient is determined by the number of players

Players	Co-Op Coefficient
2	2
3	3
4	4

Poise Bar Refilling[]

When the bar is partially drained, it will start slowly refill until the bar backs to empty.

The bar will refill per frame.

$\text{Refill Gauge Per Frame} = \text{Refill Speed} \times \text{Frame Time}$

For example, if the game stays at 60FPS,

$\text{Refill Gauge Per Frame} = \text{Refill Speed} \times \frac{1}{60}$

Poise Reset Time[]

When the defender is poise broken,

If Poise Reset Time > 0, the bar will stop refilling. After a few seconds, the bar will reset to full and the defender will recover from the poise-broken state.

If Poise Reset Time = 0, the bar will continue refilling slowly.

Poise Forced Reset[]

Some enemies have special abilities to force resetting poise.

Childe, La Signora and Magatsu Mitake Narukami no Mikoto have this kind of abilities.

Poise Type[]

Poise Type is a setting for poise in a specific character or enemy and determines their poise characteristic.

Poise Damage[]

Taken Poise Damage[]

The following factors affect the amount of poise damage taken from an attack:

Endurance from the initial stat.
Ability Hyperarmor (a.k.a. Interruption Resistance) from abilities.
Motion Hyperarmor during the corresponding motion.
Level Coefficient determinded by the level difference between the defender and the attacker

$\text{Taken Poise Damage} = \text{Attack Poise Damage} \times \text{Endurance} \times \text{Total Ability Hyperarmor} \times \text{Motion Hyperarmor} \times \text{Level Coefficient}$

Ability Hyperarmor[]

The stacking of Ability Hyperarmor is multiplicative.

$\text{Total Ability Hyperarmor} = \text{Ability Hyperarmor}_\text{1} \times \text{Ability Hyperarmor}_\text{2} \times \text{Ability Hyperarmor}_\text{3} \times \text{. . .}$

Level Coefficient[]

Level Coefficient is determinded by the level difference between the defender and the attacker.

${\displaystyle \text{Level Coefficient} = \begin{cases} 1 & \text{Level Difference} \le 30 \\ 0.5 & \text{Level Difference} > 30 \end{cases}}$

$\text{Level Difference} = \text{Min}(\text{Defender Level}, 80) - \text{Min}(\text{Attacker Level}, 80)$
