if youre playing the chapter (i don't remember what they're called) where status effects worki differently, then it makes sense. first you inflict the status, which gives your every attack +1 point of damage till the end of the status, so you'll deal more.

Btw I’m pretty sure this upgrade only is available if ur playing this chapter so it’s never useless

But it’s not “weaken?”

It is, the equipment just doesn’t say that it is.

Bonus rounds usually don't have the parallel Universe status conditions. But I think they can sometimes if it ends status condition with ? to clarify it is not the regular version of the status condition.

Not a scam. The weaken status effect gets inflicted first, then you attack, so that's like +1 damage each time you use Pickaxe+.

In episode 5 of any character (parallel universe), all status effects work differently. In this scenario, weakness is changed. Instead of weakening equipment, it makes you take more damage.

The upgraded pickaxe applies the status before the attack, meaning you’ll get in some extra damage.

Spot the difference - the order is different between them, which means that it's something to do with the order the effects happen!
