So why does Pasive activate when hit by Levin Sword, Shockstick, and Bolt Axe?,

[Gold Vanguard]

Those weapons use Magic for damage and Pasive blocks physical attacks. So why does it activate?

[I.M. Gei]

It activates because Pavise blocks damage from Swords, Axes and Lances

[BlueFire]

Because the game is programmed to have the skill check what weapon type is used and those exceptions weren't coded in.

[Darros]

It's still a physical weapon that's being used to do the damage though, right? So Pavise should still activate.

[Redwall]

It activates because Pavise blocks damage from Swords, Axes and Lances

[BlueFire]

It's still a physical weapon that's being used to do the damage though, right? So Pavise should still activate.

Bows are physical weapons and they are reduced by Aegis. Pavise was designed to reduce damage by the almost entirely 1-range weapons and Aegis reduces the damage of the weapons that typically have 2-range.

[Book Bro]

To be fair, the only non-physical weapons blocked by Aegis are tomes, so it's not really a question of "Pavise blocks physical damage and Aegis blocks magic damage" (Manaketes and Taguel attack with strength, not magic). Those weapons are still a sword, lance, and axe, so it makes sense they would be treated as such despite being magic based.
