# Weakness Modifiers
#### In Kortstrid TCG, weakness modifiers represent the vulnerabilities of each card, making them more susceptible to certain types of attacks. Understanding these weaknesses is essential for players to create effective strategies and countermeasures. These modifiers subtract even more damage when being attacked, using the same values as the Attack Modifier Chart, potentially doubling the strength point swing when being attacked.
1. Slashing Weakness: Slashing Weakness increases susceptibility to sharp-edged weapons, causing deeper wounds and greater blood loss.
2. Arcane Weakness: Arcane Weakness intensifies vulnerability to magical and elemental attacks, making their effects more potent and devastating.
3. Blunt Weakness: Blunt Weakness amplifies the damage from heavy impact attacks, increasing the likelihood of being stunned or disabled.
4. Piercing Weakness: Piercing Weakness exposes vulnerabilities to pointed weapons and projectiles, allowing for greater penetration and damage to vital points.
5. Breach Weakness: Breach Weakness compromises defensive barriers, making it easier for enemies to break through shields and protective spells.
6. Ripping Weakness: Ripping Weakness heightens vulnerability to tearing and rending attacks, causing more severe trauma and dismemberment.
7. Ballistic Weakness: Ballistic Weakness exacerbates vulnerability to ranged attacks, increasing the damage taken from projectiles and reducing evasion capabilities.
8. Stronghold Weakness: Stronghold Weakness undermines defensive positioning and tactics, allowing enemies to gain the upper hand and exploit strategic weaknesses.
9.
Attacking Skill can gain (+) or lose (-) strength based on the Defense/Weakness of opposing card skills.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.kortstrid.io/rules-and-gameplay/modifiers/weakness-modifiers.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
