Disarm

# How it works

«Disarm» - a close-range strike on one target, cast range 40. Cast time 1.5 seconds at «Atk. Spd.» 300, 0.5 seconds at «Atk. Spd.» 900 and above. Base cooldown 8 seconds. Deals no damage. Level 1 is learned at character level 36, levels 2 to 7 are learned by the Berserker, enchanting is available to the Doombringer.

What the effect does

# Chance to land

Base chance 70%, with the chance enchant - up to 90%. The result is never below 10% or above 90%. The higher the target's «STR», the lower the chance: up to «STR» 34 it does not matter at all, then the chance drops fast and at «STR» 53 hits the lower limit.

The table shows a level 85 target without debuff resistance.

Chance against a level 85 target

# Enchant

The skill has two enchant routes. «Chance» raises the base chance from 70% to 90%. «Time» increases the duration. Both routes equally raise the skill's calculation level from 74 to 85, so the «Time» route also adds a little to the chance.

What enchanting gives: fighter with «STR» 40, level 85, no defense

# How the chance is calculated

Chance = base chance x target «STR» multiplier x level multiplier x defense multiplier. The result is never below 10% or above 90%.

1. The base chance is 70%, in the chance enchant route from 70% (+1) to 90% (+30).
2. «STR» multiplier: the target's full «STR» is used. Up to «STR» 34 the multiplier is 1, then it drops and reaches 0.10 at «STR» 53.
3. Level multiplier: the target's level is compared with the skill's calculation level - the character level at which this skill level is learned (36 for the first, 74 for the seventh), with enchant it grows to 85. Against a level 85 target it is 0.90 without enchant and 1.01 with enchant +28 and above. The Berserker's own level is not part of the calculation.
4. Resistance multiplier: 1 - target's debuff resistance / 100, not less than 0.10. Resistance is counted as no higher than 100. Vulnerability to debuffs works the other way: the multiplier is above 1, but not above 1.90.

Step-by-step calculation, level 85 target

# How to protect yourself

General debuff resistance protects from «Disarm» : it lowers the chance and shortens the duration.

Main sources of debuff resistance

Source	Resistance
«Arcane Protection» or «Pet Arcane Protection» or «Chant of Spirit» or «Pa'agrio's Emblem»	20
«Prophecy of Water» or «Prophecy of Fire» or «Prophecy of Wind» or «Chant of Victory» or «Victory of Pa'agrio» or the same effects from a pet (10) or «Magnus' Chant» (25)	10 or 25
«Touch of Life» or «Touch of Eva»	30
«Song of Purification»	30
«Angelic Icon» - self only, at HP not above 30%	40
«Flame Icon»	40
«Zealot» - self only, at HP not above 30%	80
«Demonic Sword Zariche» or «Blood Sword Akamanah»	from 85 to 94, by the sword's level

What else cancels the skill

What is on the target	What happens
«Mystic Immunity» or «Heroic Berserker»	the effect never lands
invulnerability	the effect does not land
a shield in hand (not a sigil), the Berserker in the target's block sector - usually in front	with a 10% chance - a perfect block, the skill is cancelled this chance does not depend on «STR» or defense
«Riposte Stance» (30%) or «Physical Mirror» (30%, shield required) or «Magical Mirror» (10%, shield required)	with this chance the skill bounces back to the Berserker: the chance is then rolled on his «STR», level and defense, and he loses his own weapon the original target does not get the effect

# How long it lasts

The skill is written with 5 seconds, and the «Time» enchant route gives from 5 (+1) to 20 seconds (+30). The target's resistance to negative effects shortens this time, vulnerability lengthens it. On an unprotected target the effect lasts exactly the written time: 5 seconds, with the +30 «Time» enchant - 20 seconds.

How it is calculated:

1. The target has neither resistance nor vulnerability: time = the written time.
2. The target has resistance: time = written time / (1 + resistance / 100).
3. The target has vulnerability: time = written time x (1 + vulnerability / 100).
4. The result is rounded down to whole seconds.

Example: the target has «Arcane Protection» - resistance 20. Time 5 / 1.20 = 4.2, result 4 seconds. With the +30 «Time» enchant: 20 / 1.20 = 16.7, result 16 seconds.

Duration at different resistance

Target's debuff resistance	No time enchant	Enchant +30 «Time»
vulnerability 30 («Arcane Chaos» on the target)	6 s	26 s
no resistance	5 s	20 s
10	4 s	18 s
20	4 s	16 s
25	4 s	16 s
30	3 s	15 s
40	3 s	14 s
45	3 s	13 s
60	3 s	12 s
80	2 s	11 s
100 - the cap	2 s	10 s

# Gear and buffs: what changes the chance

«STR», «P. Atk.», weapon, jewelry and buffs of the Berserker do not change the chance. On the target's side, its «STR» and debuff resistance change the chance.

Measurements: Doombringer level 85, +30 «Chance» enchant, 4000 casts per row. Jewelry and buffs in the tests are real; «STR» from set and dyes is set as a number. Duration in these tables is recalculated by the formula after the fix of 14.10.2026 (verified on the core by a test), chance is measured.

# Specifics of our server

The skill logic is as close as possible to the official High Five servers (PTS). All numbers come from their data: base chance 70%, dependence on the target's «STR», duration 5 seconds, «P. Atk.» -40%, cooldown 8 seconds. Nobody reliably knows how exactly the official server calculates the chance and duration internally: there is no public description, and known builds interpret the same numbers differently. So where the data leaves a choice, our rule is set explicitly:

1. The skill has no attack type of its own, so only general debuff resistance protects from it. Resistance to mental attacks, stun, hold, sleep and paralysis does not help.
2. Debuff resistance works twice: it lowers the chance and shortens the duration.
3. On an unprotected target the effect lasts exactly as long as the skill description says: 5 seconds, with the +30 time enchant - 20 seconds. Resistance shortens the time by a factor of (1 + resistance / 100), rounded down to whole seconds.
4. Cursed weapons and flags cannot be knocked out, but the skill still lowers their owner's «P. Atk.».
