Bleed is a status effect that deals bonus fixed damage to the afflicted unit. For every Attack Skill Coin roll, or for every individual Clash with an Attack Skill, the unit with Bleed takes fixed damage equal to the Bleed Potency, and the Bleed Count is reduced by 1.

Any event that triggers a Coin roll with an Attack Skill deals Bleed damage, including direct Attacks and Clashes (including lost or tied Clashes). Bleed will trigger once per clash count and on each individual coin of an attack skill. It is important to note that Defense Skills do not trigger Bleed damage (this includes Counter Skills, Clashable Counters, and Skills activated in place of usual Counter Skills).

Bleed is linked to the Lust Sin Affinity.

Strengths & Weaknesses

Bleed is a Status Effect that requires some managing, but can deal high damage. Because Bleed Potency has a maximum value of 99, a Bleed team can deal 99 fixed damage per coin roll per turn. For example, if an enemy with max Bleed Potency uses 3 Attack Skills this turn, and you Clash with each Skill 5 times before winning the Clash, the enemy will take 1485 fixed damage due to Bleed during those clashes. While it can be difficult to get Bleed potency and Count high enough to deal that much damage outside of Mirror Dungeons, small amounts can still deal a lot of extra damage, especially against enemies with high level or other forms of damage reduction that take less damage from regular attacks.

Bleed is most effective against enemies that have a single part, many coins, and/or many skill slots. Bleed is especially effective in Mirror Dungeons due to E.G.O gifts greatly increasing both Bleed Count & Potency application. Bleed Identities usually have a Lust or Pride skill. Bleed damage, like all types of fixed damage, ignores damage reduction from buffs (like Protection), level scaling, and enemy resistances or weaknesses.

Bleed is least effective against Abnormalities with many parts, enemies with only one Skill Slot, and enemies with a low number of coins. It will often show extremely low damage output in Regular (Chain) encounters when there is an equal number of enemies and allies, but the damage will increase as both your identities and enemies acquire more skill slots.

Unlike other status effects, Bleed can often see the highest damage output by allowing an enemy to deal unopposed attacks. Because of this, it can be best to have a tank with Aggro defend while Identities that apply Bleed count and potency attack unopposed. This strategy can work well against Main Story bosses, but suffers in Railway or Mirror Dungeon due to HP being saved between fights.

Unlike other status effects, Staggering enemies can actually reduce a Bleed team's damage output. While this is almost always true in Mirror Dungeons, it is not always true in other modes of combat. A more universally useful Bleed strategy is to save attacks that apply high Bleed Count for when an enemy is Staggered, and then allow the enemy to Bleed out once they recover from Stagger.

Technically, the best method of causing Bleed damage is Extremely long Clashes. This is very difficult to achieve, but an ideal clash for a Bleed team involves a large number of tied clashes before the Identity loses the clash, allowing Bleed damage to trigger again when the enemy attacks. This is easiest to achieve by applying Plus Coin Drop on Abnormality enemies, or by using Sinking to reduce the SP of human enemies (see Identities with Plus Coin Drop, Sinking).

Bleed has several related effects, most notably Nails and Bloodfeast. Nails is a source of Bleed Count: its value is halved at turn end, and then the value is applied as additional Bleed Count at turn start. Bloodfeast is a resource used by La Manchaland Bloodfiends (enemies or allies), and stores all Bleed damage taken by all units in the zone. Bloodfeast is then consumed to power up Skills, or to generate Status Effects that power up Skills.
