Eminence is an augment available in Dragon's Dogma.
Description[]
- "Renders your jumping attacks more powerful."
When jumping, or more specifically, when in the air, the Arisen's Strength, both primary and secondary, are boosted by +30%. Magick is unaffected.
In Dragon's Dogma this skill also applies the same boost to skill based attacks that involve a jump, such as Skull Splitter, or Sky Rapture; in Dark Arisen the Skull Splitter type skills no longer give a boost in strength, but if a jump (Vault) is performed first, the strength boost is given.
The strength boost will increase the attack power of all physical attacks, including daggers, sword, mace, hammer, bow and longbow.
Notes[]
Eminence Dragon's Dogma
Comparison of damage of various skills
- For general notes on strength increasing augments, see Damage Increasing Augments.
- This Augment triggers once the Arisen performs a jump or is lifted in the air via skills that leave further actions open, such as Leaping Stone or Launchboard.
- The strength boost registers in the 'status' page in the pause menu.
- A skill's base strength is not boosted.
- The effect ends once landed.
- In Dark Arisen, if the strength boosts from augments has already exceeded the cap of +80% the effect of Eminence will be wasted.
- No boost when climbing - instead the augment Opportunism may give a boost.
Dagger and bow users[]
- Jumping light attack is boosted.
- Jumping heavy attack is generally not improved because the strike is made on landing
- Triggers when mounted on a creature by the counter of Masterful Kill.
- Boosts shortbow and longbow attacks when jumping is possible e.g. Loose, and can be very useful to Defense Break strong foes.
Sword and Longsword[]
- With Fighter jumping light attacks are boosted but only the first hit of a jumping heavy attack gets a boost since the second strike hits when the attack lands.
- With Warrior - only the first hit of the jumping heavy attack gets a boost as the remaining strikes take place after landing, jumping light attacks are boosted.
- With Mystic Knight the skill Sky Rapture is boosted.
Spellcasters[]
- Works with the heavy attack Magick Billow.
- The Magick Archer skill Sunflare activates this Augment, but usually receives no or little boost as the spell is cast on landing.
