Unleash

An Unleash is a special attack a weapon can perform. When an unleash occurs, a new attack animation sequence is triggered, instead of the usual jump/slash enemy. Each unleash has a different animation sequence, and no two weapons have the same unleash. Only artefact weapons have unleashes, but not every artefact has an unleash.

An unleash has a certain percentage attached for the unleash to occur. Some occur more frequently than others do. Some unleashes are multiple, in that they have a few different types. An example is Legend, the unleash for Excalibur. Most times it does normal unleash damage, but sometimes the second unleash occurs and the damage is trebled.

Some unleashes have a special effect, such as instant kill, causing enemy status abnormalities or replenishing HP or PP.

Every unleash is connected to an element. This means that the damage done by an unleash is converted to elemental damage, rather than battle damage.
