Statistics

Scroll of Phalanx

RDM Lv.33

/ PLD Lv.77 / RUN Lv.68

Teaches the white magic Phalanx.
Gives you a certain amount of damage
resistance.

The amount of damage resistance is calculated against every hit taken and is a function of the caster's Enhancing Magic skill at time of cast.

Can be over-written by equal or greater effect strength. Lesser strength will have no effect on target. No other effect will overwrite or block Phalanx.

Stacks with other Defense and Damage Reduction buffs (or debuffs).

Can be dispelled or removed manually.

Automatons will only cast this spell when equipped with the Stormwaker Head, maneuvers and attachments permitting.

Formula:

Damage reduction = Floor(Enhancing Magic Skill/10) - 2

Damage absorbed per hit is equal to Max damage absorbed with no merits or gear: 23

Damage reduction based on Enhancing Magic skill level

50	3	200	18
100	8	220	20
110	9	240	22
