Takes additional damage.

— In-game description

Exposed is an effect applied on certain enemies when their Defiance bar is depleted, making them take more damage from attacks for a short period.

Mechanics

• Increases strike damage taken by 10% and condition damage taken by 20% for 10 seconds.
• Stacks additively with the damage increase of  Vulnerability, effectively increasing damage taken by 8% and 16% if the target permanently has ₂₅ Vulnerability.
• During the Battle for the Jade Sea meta event, it increases strike damage taken by 30% and condition damage by 100% for 30 seconds on the final boss.

Notes

Anomaly:

The 10 second duration is not universal and may be shorter for certain enemies and bosses.
