It has to do with Notorious Monsters in the Abyessa zones. SE kinda went the extra mile to make NMs even better in terms of either drops/items/Atmas. Everytime you either claim or pop a NM, it can be "Staggered". Staggering has 3 types. Red, Blue, and Yellow or Gello as most people call it since it looks green/yellow. You'll know you landed a stagger when you see a "!!" appear above the mob with the message. "The Fafnir has been staggered and is unable to cast magic." example.
Red Stagger causes a NM to be literally stunned for about a minute where it's just frozen in place akin to a Terror Effect. Staggering Red also forces NMs to drop Key Items like Atmas or Abyssites which can enhance your character within any Abyessa zone. Also Staggering Red will yeild a KI which can be traded to certain "???"s in the zone to spawn higher level NMs which drop stuff. Red Staggering can be done on NMs by performing elemental Weapon Skills. I.e. Tachi Koki, Cyclone, Energy Drain, Raiden Thrust.
Atmas and Abyssites are permanant once you obtain them. You lose the spawning KIs once you spawn your NM.
Blue Staggering is what forces NMs to have a very high chance of coughing up it's rare item drop. These are usually performed by higher level WSs and any Trial Weapon Skill. Evisration, Black Halo, Savage Blade, you get the idea.
Yellow or Gello as most people call it is the item stagger inside Visions zones and in Scars and Heroes Zones it's what causes NMs to cough up seals/gems/cards/coins to make AF3 Emperyan Armor along with items as well. Getting a Gello Proct is a bit more tricky seeing as you have to cast certain spells to force it to happen. BLM gello spells are Teir III, Teir IV, Aga III and Ancient Magic spells. Ninjitsu elemental spells can also proct gello and BLU spells as well along with BRD thredony Songs along with WHM spells like Banish II, III, Flash, Holy and whatnot.
Now what makes this a lil annoying is that you have to make this stagger happen only when a NM isn't casting magic, performing a TP move or doing a two hour effect like hundred fists. There thankfully is an Abyssite once you're further into the game which lets you see what sort of weakness the mob can be effected by. Using Cyclone over & over will present a message like "The Behemoth seems to be weak to Lighting Base Weapon Skills" mean of course the only one of that kind that can proct red is Raiden Thrust.
Anyways that should answer your question I hope.
P.S. I'm all for this update *Where was this 7 years ago?* but the amount of people QQing about it is amazing. What were these people doing who are just now giving a shit about Black Belt who honestly should have gotten the damn thing years ago?!?
