View source for Category:Dia Spell

[[File:Dia_GUI.png]] [[:Category:Dia Spell|Dia spells]] are a form of [[:Category:Enfeebling Magic|enfeebling magic]] that reduces the target's [[defense]] and gives a weak [[Damage Over Time|slip]] effect. These are typically one of the few, if not only, forms of enfeebling magic used when [[Physical Damage|melee-burning]] monsters due to their substantial [[PDIF|offensive bonuses]]. Dia spells are also used in [[:Category:Voidwatch|Voidwatch]], where they are potential [[Voidwatch Weaknesses|weakness trigger]]s. Keep in mind that the weakness will only trigger if Dia's [[Damage Over Time|DoT]] effect lands, which means that no higher tier [[:Category:Bio Spell|Bio]] or Dia spell can already be on the monster (see below). Dia spells cannot be [[resist]]ed unless a monster is completely immune to magic.

== Dia vs. Bio ==
Dia spells are overwritten by [[:Category:Bio Spell|Bio Spells]] of the same tier/merit level, as is shown from left to right in the below table. Diaga is treated as "the same" as Dia.

== Enhancing Dia ==
After any form of Dia has been applied to the enemy, [[Corsair|Corsairs]] can use the [[Quick Draw]] job ability [[Image:Light-COR-Icon.gif|link=]]''Light Shot'' to enhance the Defense Down Effect by an additional +2.73% (28/1024) and [[Damage Over Time]] +1 (Caps after one shot)
<br />
<br />
There exists another two ways to "Enhance Dia effect." One of them is untested, but the one that has been tested seems to refer to increasing Dia's modest DoT, as if the "Dia effect" refers to the Dia DoT status and not the defense reduction.
