WeakenEnemies deal reduced damage: 20% for Normal enemies, 15% of Elites, and 10% of Bosses

Weaken is a status effect that reduces the damage an enemy deals to you, depending on the type of enemy. Based on the application, its duration varies, being refreshed upon a new application from its original source.

How to Apply Weaken

Weaken may be found from specific Legendary Aspects, Skills, and certain Glyphs.

Some classes have its application natively linked to specific Skills, making it significantly easier to apply and setup, rather than needing to use an Aspect slot.

How to Recognize Weaken

Weaken is generally shown through text appearing above enemies indicating that they were applied the status effect.

Weaken offers an easy way to increase a character’s survivability, and generally a Status Effect that will naturally be continuously applied so long as its application source is being regularly used.
