Overview

Elements and Elemental Combos are key components for utilizing powerful effects, weaknesses, and defenses against the enemies of Etheria.
It is important to know about the elements because it can be a deciding factor for the completion in a match.

An example of this would be new players against the Drakenlord for the first time without Ignite.

Keep in mind that triggering an Elemental Combo removes the Combo Starter status.
