  • Example: All the stats at your personal character stats window.
• Affinity Bonuses affects the landing rate.
  • Example: Any Soul Stone/Tarot that adds towards death-based damage (Phantom, Chernobog, Inugami, Arahabaki if CHAOS) will contribute to the chance the aliment type, Stone, will land on an enemy.
• Any weapon that has an affinity boost will also add to the chance.
  • Example: Cursebringer, Death
• However, modding a weapon will not affect the landing rate.
