Deskrawl Vulnerable: Sources and Conditional Bonuses

The Black Mist Serrated Greatsword of Agony gives an additional 30% Critical Chance against Vulnerable targets. Its text does not say that the sword applies Vulnerable. The listed version requires level 70 and supports Warrior or Sorcerer.

The Lord of the Crimson Vale makes the distinction especially clear: its Crimson Dominion passive adds 30% damage to Vulnerable enemies, while Earth Spikes is the separate ability that applies the status. Arcane Exposure also combines an application rule with a 150% damage bonus against affected enemies in 1.0.2.

Before stacking these bonuses, identify how your target becomes Vulnerable and whether the status remains active during your important attacks. A damage bonus that names Vulnerable targets should not be treated as unconditional.

Monk’s Chain Force briefly applied Vulnerable after seven basic casts in 1.0.0h. The later 1.0.1 note restored its direct-damage role and made Exposing Strikes a separate talent. Do not combine both versions into a single node.

For Warrior, an October community reply by UwU describes using Heavy Blow with critical hits and Whirlwind to keep enemies Vulnerable. That is an attributed build example. It does not establish a universal application chance for Valiant Strike or guarantee permanent status on every boss.

The available official passages identify ways to apply and benefit from Vulnerable, but do not state its complete base effect. A universal damage-taken multiplier, duration, stacking rule or immunity list would be a guess. Use the named source’s own conditions rather than borrowing a definition from another ARPG.
