- For the Physical Strain version, see Expose (Physical Strain Version).
Expose is an A.I. exclusive Passive Ability in Sonny (2017). It applies the aura Expose to the equipped unit.
Aura Description[]
Each attack has a 20% chance to reduce the target's defense by 75% for the next hit it takes.
Details[]
When the unit equipped with this ability hits with an attack of the same element as the aura, Fire, there's a 20% chance that the aura applies the negative buff Exposed to the attacked unit.
The aura's description doesn't mention that the attack's element must match the aura.
Target Buff[]
Exposed: Defense reduced by 75% for the next hit (- Defense 75%).
The Defense modifier is continuous while the buff is active. When the target of this buff is attacked, and the attack hits, a charge is consumed. This buff starts with 1 charge, and lasts for 3 turns. The duration ticks down then the target ends their turn. This buff is considered to be a negative buff.
Users[]
| Unit | Encountered | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Shredder | Zone 3 - Firewell Factory | Normal Enemy |
Tactics[]
The buff the aura applies can be countered by applying Defense increasing buffs to afflicted units, as Defense modifiers are additive. Dispelling the buff also works, but this method is inconsistent as other enemy units can launch an attack before Sonny's turn arrives.
Trivia[]
- The Physical Strain version and this ability applies the same aura. The only difference between them is the ability element, which does affect what abilities trigger the aura.
- This ability uses the Level 1 version of the Aura, just like how any A.I. unit using strain abilities only uses the level 1 version of the ability.
