Hidden mechanics#

  • Scaling. Level 20 / 40 / 60 / 80 in the reference placement for journeys 1-4 (fixed per placement, rising with each New Game Plus journey); HP goes from 1279 to 2812 (x2.2) and Physical attack from 272 to 727 by journey 4. Poise and Resilience never scale; the rule is in How enemy stats are built.
  • Fixed level. 4 of its 59 chapter placements keep the same level (1) in all four journeys, so those copies do not get stronger in New Game Plus apart from their fixed bonuses.
  • Status effects. Its moves can apply: Poison, Poison (DLC) (see Status effects).
  • Per-placement bonuses. StoryMonsterProperty adds flat extras (see How enemy stats are built): PierceResist -200 in 34 placements; Hp -200-+400 in 25 placements; PhysicResist +40 in 21 placements; PhysicDamage +300 in 4 placements.

See How to read the enemy pages for what the sections mean and How enemy stats are built for the stat rules.
