Flay Skin | Divinity Original Sin 2 Wiki

This must be used on yourself, and not on the enemy.

My current party in my first run is all magic, and predominantly pyro/earth. It held up fine but in Arx so many enemies start to resist fire and poison 60-100%. I didn’t really need this spell much but now I just had to put it on both pyros in order to…do damage lol

Due to it's garbage dmg even with max str, useless when playing 2x phisical dmg LW party ( which is the most popular choice according to the web sites ). Shame.

I FIGURED IT OUT! If you can get the timing right, You can KILL A SHRIEKER! JUST USE FLAY SKIN AND THEN A REALLY POWERFUL ATTACK THAT IS ABOVE 300 - 1600 damage, depending on their health. To put it simpler, multiply their health times 2, and find an attack that is a bit higher than the answer, and your shrieker is dead...

This is a very good to have on your warfare tank to help your mages burst down melee enemies. useful on your rouge too.

I recently found a scroll for sale of this spell, but it's supposed to be one of the few that you can't craft. Did they add it as a recipe in the new update?

Decent way to make enemies very vulnerable to stuff, for example if you play pyro you can get -20% fire from necrofire -20% from bleed fire and -50% from flay skin pretty much making it so enemy now take double damage, add to that high ground damage and possible crit and you can start hitting realy hard.

Boost all damage from your spells 50% for two turns. Must have for pyro mages as they lack cc so they need to push through with even more damage.

Worthless. The only one who might want to use this skill is an elemental mage, yet the magic armor damage scales with strength, not intelligence and is absolutely laughable: at lvl14 the skill deals sub 100 magic armor damage on 10 str mage. Complete garbage, since, if you can destroy a target's magic armor with your magic bypassing resistances, you don't need this worthless skill in the first place.

Now the question is, can it stack?

Submit

It doesn't "halve" resistances, it reduces them all by 50%. If the targes has 10% resists by default, with this status they will become -40%.

The wording on this ability is a little different to that of say, Chloroform. Does it shred [X] Magic Armor and then _attempt_ to apply Nullify Resistances? Or does it always apply the Nullify Resistances debuff regardless?

Side note: this spell's Divinity 1 counterpart (Nullify Resistances) was perhaps the most useless Witchcraft spell in the game, given that the target's resistances applied _before_ the spell was applied (meaning if the target had high resistances, the spell would never land, and if the target had low resistances, there was basically no point in casting it).

The-skill-that-halves-resistances-is-resisted-by-magic-resistance-YEAH. And that 3 AP cost is a joke.
