Keywords are inherent bonuses attached to most weapons and shields. Keywords are not randomized, the same item will always come with the same keyword.
Keywords have 3 components:
• Base effect
• Always active.
• Refine effect
• Stacks with itself addtively, once per refine on the equipment.
• 2H bonus effect
• Only takes effect when using a 2H weapon.
Most items only have 1 keyword by default. Some boons, cards, and other bonuses are capable of adding additional keywords to items. Additional keywords won't show up in item descriptions.
When a keyword or other bonus specifies it has a 'unique' effect, that means it either counts as new multiplier or a separate instance of status infliction.
