PandoraLore / SlayerGuide
IntroductionUsing an item with the "Slayer" property makes you able to do more damage on certain creatures who fit in this category. (Example: A Spider Slayer does more damage to spider creatures, but not to creatures who do not fit in this type of slayer.) It is possible to craft slayer weapons and books, also you can find slayers on looted items such as weapons, instruments and talismans. The property "Slayer" also is an imbuable property. For more informations check Imbuing Guide. While a Slayer gives you benefits when fighting a "fitting" monster there are certain penalties when fighting a monster of an opposing group (see below). If a Slayer works on a creature you will see a little white flash on the monster. An item with two Slayers ("Double Slayer") will work effectively against all creatures who "fit" into one of the two categories/slayer types! Check here for a short reference for Slayer Vulnerabilities by Creature (a full list is in this Guide below): SlayerShortList Items with possible Slayer propertyItemsThe following items can have a Slayer Property: Weapons ImbuingYou can imbue Slayers on the following items: Weapons You can imbue two Slayers on each of these items! CraftingYou can craft the following items with random Slayers: Weapons To craft a Slayer weapon you need Runic Tools (see: Complete Crafting Guide). A slayer spellbook can only be crafted by scribes using a scribe's pen. You need a high Magery Skill! LootThe following looted items can have Slayer Properties: Weapons Slayer MechanicsWeaponsA Slayer weapon will cause more damage on a creature of this group. The damage will be doubled / tripled (see below) with the restrictions of the total Damage Increase cap of 300%. BooksA Slayer book will double the spell damage (including Spell Damage Increase) against a creature of this group. You must have the spellbook equipped. Slayers granted by spellbooks only effect spells that use the skill Evaluating Intelligence (exceptions are Mind Blast and Harm). InstrumentsA Slayer instrument increases your success chance by 20% (Bard Skills). TalismansA Slayer Talisman does not affect spell damage and it works with the restrictions of the total Damage Increase cap of 300%. Slayers on Talismans The following Slayers are found on Talismans: The following Slayers are found primarily on looted or crafted weapons, books (only crafted) and instruments (only loot): Slayers and PvP (Player versus Player)Slayers do not work against players (no, Gargoyle Slayer doesn't work versus Gargoyle players, nice try) with one exception: When fighting a player who is using Vampiric Embrace an Undead Slayer weapon will do 25% more damage! Slayer Types on PandoraThere are the following imbuable Slayer Types on Pandora: Arachnid Doom (Arachnid Slayer) You can imbue max. two Slayers on an item ("Double Slayer"). The following materials are needed to imbue these Slayer Types:
There are the following not imbuable Slayer Types on Pandora: Bat, Bear, Beetle, Bird, Bovine, Flame, Ice, Mage, Vermin, Wolf, Fey. Slayer and Super SlayerExamplesA Lesser Slayer does triple damage on a creature of its group:
A Super Slayer does double damage on a creature of his special type or group:
Super SlayersSuper Slayers refer to a large group of different, but racially or elementally similar, creatures. The damage versus these creatures is doubled. For example the Reptile Slayer does double damage on Snakes and Dragons. Lesser SlayersLesser Slayers refer to a smaller group, specialized on racially more connected creatures than the Super Slayer. The damage versus these creatures is tripled. For example the Dragon Slayer does triple damage on Dragons, Drakes or a Greater Dragon. It does regular weapon damage on Snakes as on any other reptile creature. Super Slayers vs Lesser SlayersThe term "Super Slayer" indicates a higher damage than the term "Lesser Slayer" does. But the terms do not refer to the damage output of those Slayers; they refer to the amount of creatures in their category: Also keep in mind that all damage output from Slayers (doubled and tripled damage) runs under the restrictions of the total 300% damage cap! Slayers, Super Slayers and CreaturesThere are the following Lesser and Super Slayer Types/Groups with the following affected creatures. All Slayers included in the overall category are Lesser Slayers, while the first Slayer names the whole category and is a Super Slayer (Example: ELEMENTAL SLAYER as Super Slayer, Poison Elemental Slayer as Lesser Slayer.)

Arachnid Slayer (Super Slayer)Scorpion Slayer Miasma Spider Slayer Dread Spider Terathan Slayer Terathan Avenger Fey Slayer (Lesser Slayer)Centaur Slayer OppositesEach slayer type has an opposite. Using a slayer type against its opposite will cause the attacker to take more damage than he or she would otherwise. Example: Therefore it is not wise to apply opposing slayers on the same weapon! Also try to avoid fighting bosses with opposing slayers. For example Medusa's (Repond) damage versus a player will raise dramatically when using an Undead Slayer. Opposing SlayersRepond Slayer is opposed to Undead Slayer Demon Slayer (Abyss) is opposed to Fey Slayer, Elemental Slayer Reptile Slayer is opposed to Arachnid Slayer These opposites also refer to all Lesser Slayer subcategories in the Super Slayer main categories! Using opposing Slayer instruments will decrease the success chance by 20%. Additional Information: Working Slayers on PandoraCurrently not all Slayers are working (working properly) on Pandora. After some testing considering the major Slayers used in the game the following observations have been made. Slayers not working or not working properlyMost of the Lesser Slayers are working but the damage output is limited (see below). This means instead of triple damage they only produce double damage, giving the exact same amount like their Super Slayers of the same category. For example the Gargoyle Slayer does the same double damage as the Demon Slayer. The Spider Slayer does the same amount of damage like the Arachnid Slayer. Further observation concludes that while Elemental Slayer works properly all Lesser Slayers of this category (such as Fire or Poison Elemental Slayer) do not work at all. Finally it has to be noted that Slayers without subcategories should produce triple damage. Tests showed they deal double damage. Important Slayers on Pandora and how they workREPOND SLAYER The Repond Slayer does double damage. On newer creatures who have been implemented later (i.e. Corgul) it doesn't work at all while it does work on Medusa for example. Lesser Slayers of this category also deal double damage instead of triple damage. REPTILE SLAYER The Reptile Slayer does double damage. However it does not work on Rikktor, but it does work on the Stygian Dragon. Lesser Slayers (including Dragon Slayer) deal double damage instead of triple damage (Dragon Slayer also doesn't work on Rikktor but deals double instead of triple damage on Stygian Dragon). DEMON SLAYER The Demon Slayer works and does double damage. The Lesser Slayers of this category also work but deal double instead of triple damage. Demon Slayer also works in the Gauntlet against bosses with demon slayer vulnerability. UNDEAD SLAYER The Undead Slayer works and does double damage. It also works in the Gauntlet against bosses with undead slayer vulnerability. ELEMENTAL SLAYER The Elemental Slayer works and does double damage. However all Lesser Slayers of this category do not work at all. FEY SLAYER The Fey Slayer works and does double damage. However it does not work at all on Dread Horn and the Shimmering Effusion. ARACHNID SLAYER The Arachnid Slayer works and does double damage. Lesser Slayers also deal double damage (instead of triple damage). Eodon SlayersCurrently the Eodon Slayer is not implemented on Pandora. However the following information might become useful in the future: The Eodon Slayer is a Super Slayer specifically working on creatures in the Valley of Eodon. It theoretically contains Myrmidexes, Tigers, Dinosaurs and possibly Turtles. This information has yet to be confirmed! by Tys |
