Scratch Damage cannot destroy the target, even ifthe gauge s reduced to ful blue However, Satoh Damage becomes Direct Damage when the target sustains a it rom a Handgun or explosion, Thus i an enemy has sustained 100 HP of Srateh Damage and the next attack they sustain does 20 HP Direct Damage, the enemy receives total of 120 HP damage, Because Machineguns ‘ire more boulets per attack and because charging machinegun attacks ‘multiple times multiptes damage, ts easier to inflet massive amounts of Scratch Damage toa target than itis to inflict Direct Damage.
