⑦ Weakness Modifier

((Weapon Element + Style Boost Value) × ④Element Multiplier + ⑤Element Attack Up) × ⑥Elder Dragon Element Multiplier Round Down① × ⑦Weakness Modifier Round Down②

※This corresponds to the red underlined section and is the third "multiplicative calculation" in elemental damage.
There are three multiplicative calculations in the elemental damage formula.

※Elemental damage is applied only when the attack matches the monster's elemental weakness (*).
*Even if it is not listed as a weakness, it may still be treated as a weak point under certain conditions.
(Example: Certain Hellfire-infused parts of Magnamalo are vulnerable to Thunder.)

This multiplier is not granted by a skill. It is a multiplier that applies only to specific monsters.

The applicable monsters and conditions are as follows.

Monster Element Multiplier Condition
Fulgur Anjanath Water1.25× Only when electrified
Deviljho Thunder / Dragon1.5× -
Kushala Daora Thunder / Dragon1.5× -
Teostra Water / Ice1.5× -
Magnamalo Thunder1.5× Only on Hellfire-infused parts
Kirin Fire1.5× *Dragon deals normal damage (1.0×)
Chameleos Fire / Dragon1.5× -
Beotodus Fire1.5× Only on snow-covered parts
Namielle Fire1.5× *Dragon deals normal damage (1.0×)

Worked example: Weakness Modifier affects the elemental side

The following assumed values illustrate the MHNowCalc formula. They are not measurements or the performance of a specific equipment build.

Assume the elemental value after rounding at ⑥ is 1,001, physical attack is 1,000, and Weakness Modifier is 1.50. The element must be effective and the attack must satisfy the conditions for this modifier.

The elemental side becomes 1,001 × 1.50 = 1,501.5 → round down to 1,501. Physical attack remains 1,000.

Physical attack + elemental value = 1,000 + 1,501 = 2,501, before applying ⑧ onwards.

Do not multiply the combined (1,000 + 1,001) by 1.50. The monster, part, and state determine the applicable modifier and whether the element is effective.
