Editing Weapon Mastery

== Definition ==
Weapon Masteries give a special kind of ATK that is added on at the end of all attacks, but before card and elemental modifiers. For example, if you have a Hydra card in your weapon and a Weapon Mastery that gives +40 attack, you will gain an additional (40 x 20%) 8 Weapon Mastery ATK against demi-humans, for a total of 48 Weapon Mastery ATK per hit. 

== Information ==
The damage gained from Weapon Masteries bypasses defense and vit reduction, as can be demonstrated by the damage formula:

((Weapon Attack * Size Modification + Base Attack) * Skill Modifier * Def Reduction + Refining Bonus + Vit Reduction + Weapon Masteries) * Weapon Element Modifier * Card Modifiers 

*Many Weapon Masteries require a certain type of weapon to be equipped to work. For example, Spear Mastery will only give +[[ATK]] if the user is wielding a spear. Likewise, Sword Mastery only adds +ATK if the user is wielding a one-handed sword or dagger. [[Aura Blade]], however, gives un-restricted Weapon Mastery ATK (works with all weapons). 
*While most Weapon Masteries are Passive Skills, there are some Active Skills like Aura Blade that give its user Weapon Mastery ATK when the skill is activated. 
*Because Weapon Masteries are added at the end of every attack (but before card and elemental modifiers) they are not effected by skill modifiers. [[Bash]] Lv. 10 will not multiply Weapon Mastery ATK by 400%, and [[Sonic Blow]] will not multiply Katar Mastery ATK by 800%: the mastery damage is added on once at the end. However, Weapon Mastery ATK can be counted more than once on certain skills. Since [[Bowling Bash]] hits twice, the Weapon Masteries are counted once for each hit, for a total of two times. This also applies to [[Pierce]] when Pierce hits two or three times. 
*Weapon Masteries will not add damage to skills that are unaffected by weapon ATK, such as [[Martyr's Reckoning]]. 
*Some skills ignore Weapon Masteries, like [[Grand Cross]].
