What is Latent Power
Latent Power is an armor skill that helps the player by increasing the affinity of the player's weapon towards the monsters and reduces the stamina depletion of the character significantly. Affinity determines the player's critical hit chances, so increased affinity translates to more opportunities to execute vital attacks.
Stamina is essential because the player needs to perform multiple attacks while fighting battles. With each move, stamina decreases, and to defeat stronger monsters, players need plenty of stamina. Players' chances to beat monsters increase with a significant reduction in stamina depletion.
Latent Power has seven power levels that increase the ability progressively.
