What it does: Provides affinity under the hit-zone conditions described by the current in-game skill text.
Who should consider it
- Weapons that can maintain precise part pressure
- Matchups with accessible qualifying zones
- Focus Mode users who deliberately track a chosen part
When it is less useful
It loses practical value when attacks frequently land on poor zones or the preferred part is inaccessible.
Useful pairings
- Critical Boost where applicable
- Part and wound positioning knowledge
- Other affinity only to the level the complete build needs
How to evaluate it
- Measure uptime on the intended monster.
- Do not count attacks landing on the wrong part.
- Recheck conditions after balance updates.
