What it does: Adds affinity according to the currently equipped skill level.
Who should consider it
- Raw and elemental sets that can use ordinary critical hits
- Builds that need unconditional affinity
- Players replacing a highly conditional affinity source
When it is less useful
Affinity alone does not explain total damage. It must affect the attacks and damage types used by the build.
Useful pairings
- Critical Boost where applicable
- Weakness Exploit when target uptime is reliable
- Stable sharpness and weapon function
How to evaluate it
- Verify final affinity in the status screen.
- Separate unconditional and situational affinity.
- Do not assume affinity affects every secondary damage source.
