Bind

Bind is a paralysis weapon special. It is the lowest tier of paralysis specials (1★). Bind weapons have a chance to Paralyze their targets.

Paralyse chance

The chance to Paralyze monsters depends on Enemy ESP.

Rarity	Special Name	Power
1★	Bind	32%

Base Paralysis Chance = ((Power) - (Enemy ESP)) * (1 - Special Reduction) * (Unit Boost)

• Androids receive a 30% boost to the activation rate of all paralysis specials on Ultimate difficulty. This value can be added directly to the values in the Power column above (Bind has a power of 62%).
• Special Reduction is 0 for unreduced weapons, and otherwise as follows:

Weapon Type	Reduction
Swords	50%
Daggers
Partisans
Slicers	67%
Mechguns
Shots

• Unit Boost is as follows:
  • 1.5 if either V501 or V502 are equipped
    • These stack with the android boost, but not with each other.
  • 1 if neither are equipped

Bosses and Machine-type enemies cannot be Paralyzed. Androids, as well as non-androids equipped with a Sacred Cloth or Cure/Paralysis, are also immune to being paralyzed.

List of Bind weapons

There are three weapon types that can have specials. Specials on common weapons dropping from Monsters or Item boxes are randomly assigned, but are predetermined on all rare weapons. Specials on ES Weapons can be added with Photon drops.

Rare weapons

There are no rare weapons with Bind as a special attack.

Common weapons

The chance of obtaining specials on common weapons depends on area and difficulty. When a common weapon drops in an untekked state, there is a chance for it to come with Bind as a special. Bind can also be obtained by tekking down a common weapon that drops with the Hold special. Once a weapon drops in an untekked state, the table below lists the overall chance of it coming with the Bind special (including the ability to tekk down from Hold).
