Weapons[]

These weapons deal more than a majority of their physical damage as DmgPunctureSmall64 Puncture. The damage ratio is important for physical damage status effects because the game weights the likelihood of which proc occurs according to physical damage ratio. Hence, these weapons proc Weakened more than Stagger or Bleed.
