Discordance

Use jarring music to demoralize and weaken enemies. Discorded creatures deal less damage, move slower, and have reduced defenses. Effective in PvE and PvP.

Effect scaling

  • Stat reduction: −10% damage, −10% move speed at 50 Discordance.
  • −20% damage, −15% move speed, −10% defense at 75 Discordance.
  • −30% damage, −20% move speed, −20% defense at 100 Discordance.
  • Duration: 15 seconds base. +1 second per 10 skill (max 25s at 100).

Area and targeting

  • Single target: guaranteed on any non-boss creature. 2-second cast.
  • Area effect: 5-tile radius. 5-second cast. Reduced potency on secondary targets.
  • Boss resistance: bosses take reduced effect (−50% duration and potency).
  • Instrument quality affects success chance and potency. Masterwork instruments grant +10% effectiveness.

PvP considerations

  • Players can resist Discordance with high Tactics or Magic Resistance.
  • Discorded players take increased damage from Provoking.
  • Stacking: Discordance + Provoking on same target increases both effects by 20%.
