The Vow of Potential ranks among four Soul Vows introduced in Type Soul’s recent Hell expansion. This ability applies a -15% reduction to all stats at combat start, but this penalty switches to a +10% boost once your Potential Aura fills through combat actions. Ideal for drawn-out engagements, its mechanics make it essential for crafting the coveted For Those Who Know Emblem.
Understanding the Vow of Potential
This Soul Vow modifier creates dynamic scaling during battles:
- Combat initiation triggers a -15% to -25% stat reduction
- Perfect dodges, parries, and damage exchanges charge Potential Aura
- Full meter conversion grants universal +10% stat enhancement
- Visual/sound cues (eye glow, battle themes) indicate progression
- All effects reset upon exiting combat
Patience-focused players benefit most from this risk-reward system, transforming defensive play into offensive momentum.
