Tempest

Tempest is a lightning damage weapon special. It is the highest tier of lightning damage specials (4★). Machine-type monsters, with the exception of Epsilon, Vol Opt, and Vol Opt ver. 2, have a chance to be Shocked by lightning damage specials.

Damage

Damage inflicted by Tempest depends on the Player level and Enemy ETH.

4★	Tempest	(Lv. - 1) +100

Damage = (Power) * (100 - (Enemy ETH)) * 0.01
Shock Chance = (Difficulty Modifier) * (Unit Boost)

• Unit Boost is as follows:
  • 1.5 if either V501 or V502 are equipped
    • These do not stack with each other
  • 1 if neither are equipped
• Difficulty Modifier is as follows:
  • 6.67% for Normal, Hard, and Very Hard
  • 2.5% for Ultimate

List of Tempest 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.

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 Tempest as a special. Tempest can also be obtained by tekking up a common weapon that drops with the Storm special. Once a weapon drops in an untekked state, the table below lists the overall chance of it coming with the Tempest special (including the ability to tekk up from Storm).
