Editorial: Review of Physical Core

By Alan Gunhouse (aka Timebender)

The Physical cores give you the standard bonuses of any core.  The Crystal core gives +2 damage for each appropriate item worn and it gives a +25% resistance to two specific other types of damage.  The Morphon core increases those to +5 damage and +30%.

The one thing Physical cores are best at is life bonuses.  The "Adrenal Boost" Crystal core adds 80 Health, which is not bad and is higher than any other purchasable Crystal core.

The "Dinosaur DNA" core gives you +25% to your health, which is the highest of any core.  If a high total health score is what you are after, then physical cores are the core of choice.

That said, they give you nothing else, there is no Damage Multiplier, Stun Bonus, Weaken Foe Block, Block Bonus, Strike Bonus, Stun Resist, Move, or Weaken Foe Dodge.  The Physical cores simply make you better at surviving by sheer ability to survive damage.  This can be useful, but is not great.
