Elements

Every player and monster has an element, also called a property or attribute. When an attack meets a target, the two elements decide whether the hit is stronger, weaker or does nothing at all. Apart from Neutral, every element has strengths and weaknesses against others.

• Neutral
• Water
• Earth
• Fire
• Wind
• Poison
• Holy
• Shadow
• Ghost
• Undead

Elements are either attacking or defending. Defending elements have four levels, and a higher level makes both its resistances and its weaknesses stronger; attacking elements have no levels. Players have both kinds, Neutral by default, and a player's defending element is always level 1. Monsters only have a defending element, though their skills can deal elemental damage. The plain melee attacks of monsters have no element and ignore the table.

Find the defending element in the rows and the attacking element in the columns. The number is the share of damage that gets through. For example, a Ghost attack on a Neutral target does 90%.

Monsters with a level 2, 3 or 4 element take the table to the extreme: weaknesses grow and resistances get close to full immunity. A few pairs show the pattern:

A player's attacking and defending elements change with certain weapons and armor, with some skills and items, and with Cards and Card Slots compounded into gear. Skills that give a weapon an element include Endow Blaze, Endow Tsunami, Endow Tornado, Endow Quake, Mild Wind, Aspersio, Enchant Poison and B.S Sacramenti.

Some status effects change your defending element too: Frozen turns it into Water 1, Stone Curse into Earth 1 and Arson (also called Blaze) into Fire 1.
