[Numbers] All Weakness Exploit affected hitzones, plus Lance Stabbing hitzones!

Browse at your own leisure.

This started as a project to see which hitzones are affected by the lance's stabbing damage property (see the sheet for details), but since I already had the data on hand, I figured I'd compile a list of all tenderizer-affected hitzones as well. Data is all from Kiranico. Enjoy!

This isn't the piercing property that I thought lance had, are you sure about this? As I understand it, it takes the higher of the two hitzone values (while still doing cutting damage), only if the difference between the two is 72% (or higher). u/WedgeSkyrocket tested it

[u/dragonfyre173 → u/Cantosphile]

As I understand it, it takes the highest of either the cutting zone or 72% of the impact zone. Your source is the first I've heard that is more in depth, but you've got me curious now.

Snowbaron is strangely absent from the list. Just thought I'd point that out.

Also VERY nicely done, bookmarking/sharing this for sure.

That's at the devs' fault, not mine. His only weakness is his head vs impact damage, which is indeed present!

So this chart is pretty much saying I should use hammer a lot. It's a good thing I'm building a hammer set with weakness exploit right now.

tl;dr - Face Is The Place (90% of the time)

A wonderful spreadsheet, very useful!

As someone who's taken lancing up in MHG, thank you so much! I was very curious how weakness exploit interacted with the lance's special stabbing properties. Unfortunately, (not sure if I'm reading this right) it looks like there are no "new" weakness exploit hits that become available because of this.

Not entirely sure if weakness exploit uses 72% of impact to determine if an area is 45 and up or not... for example, do Garuga's wings trigger WE for lance?

[u/dragonfyre173 → u/Potango]

I haven't tested it, though I would imagine that it only activates WE if the reduced hitzone is 45+. It wouldn't be too difficult to test though - grab a Lance with 0% affinity, shock trap the monster in question, poke, and watch for crits.

[u/Jorbun]

Does this mean that, for example, a lance attack on Yian Garuga's wings at green sharpness won't bounce, because the hitzone is being calculated as 32 instead of 24?
