History Main / DamageIncreasingDebuff

** In 4E, there is a game mechanic called "Vulnerability" where creatures have negative effects dealt to them when hit by certain damage types (usually a fixed extra amount of damage, but occasionally other debuffs like disabling regeneration or being slowed). There are several powers that allow you to impose these vulnerabilities upon enemy targets.
* ''{{Shadowrun}}'':

* The [[HarmlessFreezing Frozen]] status ailment in ''{{Odium}}'', in addition to paralyzing the victim.

* ''{{Pokemon}}'' has both general and element-specific examples of this. Leer, Screech, Tail Whip, and Tickle reduce the target's Defense. Fake Tears and Metal Sound reduce the target's Special Defense. Superpower deals high damage but reduces the user's own Defense. Close Combat, Shell Smash, and V-Create reduce the user's own Defense ''and'' Special Defense.

*** The remake of ''FinalFantasyIV'' has the "Cry" ability that Palom can use, which decreases the defense of all enemies. You can later give this ability to other characters; hilariously, the preferred recipient is often Kain (since he has so few other abilities), meaning you can take the series' MemeticBadass and make him cry like a little girl on command.

Compare and contrast a StatusBuffDispel against shield spells. Compare BreakMeter. Compare the defense-debuffing type with PiercingAttack. Contrast a StatusBuff or trait that increases the damage ''dealt by'' someone, and also contrast a debuff decreasing ''evasion''.

* VampireTheMasquerade: A side-effect of some uses of Obtenebration, a main effect of one Quietus power, is decreased defense.

* In the ''OnePiece'' series there's Oil: when a character covered in oil is hit by a fire attack or explosion he suffers a lot of damage (unless it's [[PlayingWithFire Ace]]).

* In {{Borderlands}}, enemies aflicted with a Corosive elemental effect suffers additional damage from all sources, including subsequent Corosive effects.

* ''MagicTheGathering'' has [[http://magiccards.info/shm/en/81.html Wound Reflection]], which doubles your opponents' pain.

* TeamFortress2: Being covered in Jarate or cursed by the Scout's Fan O' War turns all taken hits into mini-crits, increasing their damage by 35%.

* In the ''FireEmblem'' games [[FireEmblemTellius set in Tellius,]] Luna is a special attack that acts as if the target's defense was actually half its current value. Aether, which only [[TheHero Ike]] can obtain, turns one attack into a [[EnergyAbsorption healing Sol attack]] and a Luna attack in quick succession.

* ''{{Diablo}} 2'' features the "Increased Damage'' spell that causes this as a status effect on enemies in a textbook case of percentally increased damage.

* In ''VideoGame/RadiantHistoria'', enemies launched into the air take a percentage of the damage they took while in air when hitting the ground.

* ''Diablo 2'' features the "Increased Damage'' spell that causes this as a status effect on enemies in a textbook case of percentally increased damage.

* Cripple in ''DistortedTravesty'' temporarily decreases the defense of an enemy afflicted with it.

** The "Oil" status in ''FinalFantasyXII'' triples the damage incurred from Fire attacks.

*** ''FinalFantasyXIII'' has the Deprotect and Deshell statuses, which reduce the target's physical and magical defence, respectively.
*** ''FinalFantasyXII'' has three Technicks that work this way: ''Addle'' lowers the foe's Magick resistance, ''Shear'' lowers the foe's physial damage resistance, and ''Achilles'' adds an additional element weakness to the foe, increasing damage dealt if of that element.
*** FinalFantasyVIII has the "Vit. 0" effect caused by the Meltdown spell, which sets an enemy's physical and magical defense to zero.
