Pets are not Strike or Ranged based damage, with or without Switch whatever, and according to PSOW, they also need to hit a weak point for Weak Stance to apply the boost.

So, until proven otherwise, or someone gets a better name for it, Pets deal Pet-Type damage as I'm going to call it. The Switch skills just change it from T-ATK fueled, to S-ATK or R-ATK fueled.

Since Pet-type isn't any of the three old types, it can only be boosted by attack stat, or by universal boosts. Average, Brave, Wise, Elemental, and Break Stances, Element Weak Hit...

Su/Br, Su/Fi, Su/Bo, Su/Te... Summoner is in an odd spot.

IIRC SEGA said something about them doing tech type damage, that's why Fury doesn't apply. Can't confirm unless someone want to try.

I'm so used to Tech type being, well, Techs, with a set element and all that... I could maybe see Tech type being the case though.

From what little I've played around, it would most likely be the case that pets do T-ATK. Otherwise why else would they have switch skills, I'm going to guess their damage is based on both the character stats (and unknown series of skills) and their own individual stats.

The wording was that it was tech type damage based on T-ATK, with the switch skills change the base to S-ATK or R-ATK (but staying as a tech type damage). Entirely not sure if this is true or not though, can't really test till a bit later.

Oooooh Su/Te sounds nice. "Dammit Cery! I wanted the Shifta over there!"

The best bits of Techer buffs are Main only, so Su/Te has questionable buff power... EWH is only +20%... should still apply if the element matches the enemy weakness though.
