Enemies in the middle chapters begin to diversify their status ailment attacks. Fire-based attacks become a bit scarce during this time: the only notable enemy that uses Fire attacks is the furnace-looking automaton that’s wielding a shovel.

That said, the Belford Superior Radiation Converter has decent stats for covering the typical status ailment damage, and the 173 Fire Defense and 15.07 Fire Damage Reduction are welcome additions to bolster P.

The LADA Large Capacity Corrosion Resistance Converter provides excellent Acid Damage defense while also providing good flat Fire and Electric Defense coverage for late-game enemies.
