Seize

Seize is a paralysis weapon special. It is the second highest tier of paralysis specials (3★). Seize weapons have a chance to Paralyze their targets.

Damage

Seize weapon special attacks deal 0.67x the damage of a normal attack. The chance to Paralyze monsters depends on Enemy ESP.

Rarity	Special Name	Power
3★	Seize	64%

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 (Seize has a power of 94%).
• Special Reduction is as follows (See also: List of weapons with reduced specials):
  • 0.5 for Swords, Daggers, Partisans
  • 0.67 for Slicers, Mechguns, Shots
  • 0 for unreduced weapons
• 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, Machine-type enemies, Zu and Pazuzu 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 Seize 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 Seize as a special. Seize can also be obtained by tekking up or down a common weapon that drops with the Hold or Arrest special. Once a weapon drops in an untekked state, the table below lists the overall chance of it coming with the Seize special (including the ability to tekk up or down from Hold and Arrest).
