"Special damage"?

What exactly does this mean? The damage shows in blue which implies it affects the blue turn bar, except it doesn't seem to actually do so.

Thanks.
  • There's only 2 damage types in this game, physical and special. Special has the blue text.

    Basically it means there are different stats for each type to increase attacking power and ability to defend. It's pseudo complexity and probably a carry over from their other Dragon Age game. Someone who has played that game feel free to correct me.
  • I thought blue damage meant that your attack bar goes down so your attack chance goes down for that character?
  • On this note, why do characters without special damage like Chewbacca use gear that gives a spec damage bonus? It's a waste of the slot, and the equipment.

    Nope, the only time an attack will potentially reduce attack timer bar is if the skill specifically says it has a chance to do so. Like Grand Moff Tarkin's Ultimate Firepower (level 3) skill or Chewbacca's Bowcaster (level 3).

    They should have called it "Force damage" or something, wouldn't that have seemed obvious? :)
