Basic Information

Icon Name Effect No. Held Stored Usage Type Note
Lead Elixir Lead Elixir Grant super armor in cost of slow movement [30 seconds] - / 3 - / 99 Finite Liquid medicine shifts weight to deflect attacks

In Game Description


A heavy, syrupy liquid medicine.
Temporarily shifts weight to make deflection of attacks
easier, but must be used with care, as it also slows
movement with no change to defense.

Its recipe for this mysterious concoction is unknown, but
some postulate that it materializes only within the most
desperate nightmares.

Effects


  • Drinking a Lead Elixir slows down your walking and running speeds, but it gives you a small amount of super armor. This means that you can take a light hit or two without flinching. Large hits will still cause you to flinch or stumble, and multiple consecutive hits will also break your super armor. You can, however, still roll and quickstep while this elixir is in effect. It lasts for 30 seconds, and you can only hold three at a time. The best use of this elixir is for users of slow, hard-hitting weapons. You can trade hits with a light enemy and break their super armor with your heavy weapon. As long as the enemy attack is weak, you can even get your health back via the regain system. This elixir can be especially useful for a heavy weapon user against light weapon users in PvP. Just beware the decreased movement speed; you won't be able to run away if something goes wrong, and you won't be able to catch your opponent if they flee.

  • Testing: Despite in-game description, Lead Elixir does impact how much damage you take from the attacks. Every melee ATK - physical, be it normal or visceral attack, and elemental (e.g. buff), its damage is reduced by 50%. Every ranged ATK - Arcane & Bloodtinge Items (hunter tools), Flamesprayer & Rosmarinus and all bullets do standard 100% of damage. Only exception is Simon's Bowblade, its ranged attacks damage is reduced by 50%. Light and Normal impact hits will not stagger and will bounce off of the player providing openings to strike back. Even Heavy impact hits can bounce off but will stagger. While Lead Elixir effect is active Augur of Ebrietas and Beast Roar will forfeit their knockdown property and will only stagger you. Noteworthy is that transformed 2 handed Chikage will not bounce off.
