Guides

@BunnySox <3<3<3

@Mohenjo These are based only on enemy mages! You can check that in Cethosia's and mine spreadsheets ^^ The only exception are the little notes pointing out boss weakness, since bosses often get to use elemental attacks even if they're physical attackers.

@Starphire You're welcome, thank you! Bahahaha I'm really glad someone noticed the september links! I was listening to it on loop for hours while working on this lmao

Worth noting:

If you're going for Level 25 dragons, you don't have to worry about elements for anything below Volcanic Vents and possibly nothing below Boreal Wood.

Boreal Wood is the lowest venue where you can train fodder (or other dragons) with a L25 on the team. Below that, if your dragon is following one of the guides, you'll be fast enough and strong enough that elements won't matter - you'll almost never take a hit other than maybe the first round.

I did some research Blooming Grove. Not taking into account the appearance rates, just the elements, I got:

Best: Lightning
Okay: Nature, Fire
Worst: Water, Arcane, Light

Lightning is only weak to 1 mage (Grove Piper).

Nature and Fire are weak to 2, but resistant to two. Nature's slightly better; Fire is also weak to the boss Mossy Pohip, but that starts as a physical attacker; it'd have to work up to magic.

Water, Arcane, and Light are all weak to 3 mages. Water is worst; it's not resistant to any of them.

@Amayai

Hey there, would you mind if I added this to my Coli Builds 2.0 thread?

@ErisLordFreedom Thanks for the data on Blooming Grove! I'll add it to the thread - and later probably work on a spreadsheet anyway so I can update it if coli changes. ^^

@Catvrix Not at all! Thanks for spreading the word!

@Amayai
Here's the google spreadsheet I set up for myself when I was trying to figure it out. Some parts of it are outdated, but the basic structure should be clear enough.

@Amayai

Thanks for this! This is awesome.

@Reddhed - remember to bookmark when not on mobile.

Quick notes on the new Forbidden Portal:

Best is Earth or Arcane - both of them have no weaknesses, and are strong against 2 mages. (Arcane is strong against two normal mages; Earth is strong against one of the bosses. Not sure which would be considered better.)

Okay is Fire - weak to one, strong against 1+ a boss.

Worst is probably Light: weak to two, no strengths.
Other bad elements are Nature, Plague, Ice - all weak to two+ (sometimes weak to 2 + a boss), but each has one they resist.

This is without knowing anything about frequencies, other than "bosses will be rare." I haven't tried the venue yet, but I have an arcane team, so I'll be farming for the new familiars today!

I'll work on gathering data for this venue ASAP, but it's end of semester rush, so it might take a couple of days. Don't worry, it's coming! @ErisLordFreedom Thank you! I'll write that in as a placeholder for now! I'm waiting on Maki to get their spreadsheet in order and then I'll work on the calculations from there. I'm gathering frequency data to help them in the meantime, so hopefully by tomorrow or sunday I'll be able to add the portal here!

@Amayai

BLESS YOU for this!!!
