Affinity Down
Affinity Down is a debuff in Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and Torna ~ The Golden Country. It decreases the affinity between a Driver and Blade in combat.
Mechanics[edit]
There are seven "stages" of affinity, each with different effects. Each correspond to a specific range in the actual affinity value of the Driver-Blade pair: 0, 1-199, 200-399, 400-599, 600-799, 800-999, and 1000.
Affinity Down itself comes in 5 levels. Level n Affinity Down drops affinity to the centre of the stage n below the current one, to a minimum of 0. For example, if the current affinity value is 830, level 3 Affinity Down would decrease it to 300 (the centre of the 200-399 stage, which is 3 stages below the current 800-999 stage).
Finishing a Blade Combo with the Light element enacts Seal Affinity Down, making the entire party immune to its effects for the duration.
