Pearlescent Ward in Infinite Archive?

1) Would the damage mitigation be active in the archive? The set specifies trials, dungeons, or arenas. I would think the Archive should count as an arena, but I don’t know.

2) Does the strength of the five-piece bonus depend on the number of players in the group? Or do you always get the full benefit but which bonus it is depends on the percentage of the group still alive?

Thank you!!!

    for 1: yes, it does work but only if you have another player (or companion) with you that is dead (it also works to provide the other player a buff too)

    for 2: the dmg buff and dmg reduction are scaled based on number of players alive/dead

    180 is the max dmg buff if all group is alive
    66% dmg reduction is the max if all players are dead

    in this case, if its a 2 player group, and 1 is alive and 1 is dead, then you get 50% of both of those bonuses (90 dmg and 33% dmg reduction)

    another example is if you had a 4 player group, 1 is dead and 3 are alive, you will get 75% of the 180 dmg and 25% of the 66% dmg reduction

    you will never attain 100% of the 66% dmg reduction because the entire group has to be dead, which at that point its useless lol

    the other part of the question, about the bonuses that only work in trials, dungeons, and arenas (major/minor slayer, major/minor aegis) i am not 100% sure if those work in the archive, i honestly dont remember (if i did test it myself, it was months ago when the archive first came out lol)

    figured i would answer your questions about the other part of the pearlescent gear though lol
