TOPIC | Element strengths and weaknesses
1 2 3
While battling in the Coliseum I noticed that my lightning attacks seem to do a lot more damage to ice enemies compared to others. I tried it again and it is not because of a critical hit.

So I'm wondering, do the elements have specific strengths and weaknesses against others?
What is your experience?

Every element has strengths and weakness.
For example Shadow takes high damage from Light.

Oh so it is true. I never found any direct information about it or a chart which is stronger/weaker against which other element.

So far I've noticed that Shadow does extra damage to Fire, Wind and Ice. But deals reduced damage to Plague and I'm going to give an educated guess to Blood and Light too.

I saved this from beta that one of the testers was working on.

If I may...

Light / Weak to Nature & Arcane

Arcane/ strong against Light & Shadow
Resistant to Lightning & Arcane
Deals low damage to (resisted by) Nature & Arcane

Should be accurate unless the admins changed something.

Just a quick correction to the Earth one.

From personal experience Earth does extra damage to Fire and Lightning, does half damage to Wind and other Earth. Earth also gets beat up by Nature.

I don't have an advantage to Arcane as it suggests.

It seems that there are three elements for "strong against".

The Resistant to element is the third one.
Ex. Shadow is resistant to Ice = therefore Shadow is strong against Ice.
This needs further testing and/or confirming.
