Elements Status

Quick Guide

Every non-neutral element deals 105% total damage vs other elements. This is further amplified by masteries, signets, and equipment bonuses.

The only exception is when using the same element as the target: damage is reduced to 95% (e.g., Fire magic vs Fire enemy).

This ensures elements are always viable and reward builds that stack improvements.

Key Interactions of elements come from:

Debuffs — negative status effects
Special Triggers (ST) — conditional effects granted by items or skills

Major Crowd Control cannot be re-applied immediately. targets gain temporary resistance, but certain setups can influence this.

Enemies receive Antibody Status for immunity for 15 seconds after being afflicted by a Major effect. The duration on players is 2 seconds by default.

Ghost is unique:

Immune to Neutral
Receives 50% from all other elements
Receives 100% from Ghost itself
Using healing skills against ghost makes them vulnerable (most times).

Basics of the Elements

There are 4 Natural Elements: Fire, Water, Wind, Earth

And 3 Material Elements: Ghost, Holy, Dark

Neutral is a baseline element with no affinities.
Different classe have different interactions with each element, with some being more prevalent than others. You can see an overall breakdown in the Job Classes Page.

Debuff Effects

Every element has associated Debuffs (negative effects applied to enemies or players).
Certain status interact with debuffs:

Target's Restoration (RST): Reduces debuff duration or strength when received

Caster's Grit (GRI): Increases debuff duration or strength when applied

Players can be immune to certain debuffs or resist them with proper builds. Signets can improve, spread, or weaponize debuffs against enemies.
There are also non-elemental debuffs that apply regardless of element. And yes — you can apply Burn on Fire enemies.

Special Triggers (ST)

Every element has a unique Special Trigger — a conditional effect activated through abilities, gear, or interactions.
Examples:

Spectre activating Overslash via their finisher

Spellcaster triggering Conflagration with Flame Eruption

Item example: Equipping Holy Wars + Holy Signets enables Divine Judgment procs on auto-attacks, scaling with Signet Level.
These cannot be used directly and have trigger conditions and can be upgraded via:

Elemental Signets

Unique Signets for each ST
