Gameplay Notes

• The term "tetra-elements" refers to the elements of Fire, Water, Earth, and Wind.

Ethereal Prison

• Elemental FrictionOriginal element has been lost and water element has been gained instead / Deals water DMG (Excludes plain DMG / Can't be removed)
  Local status effect turns the foe's element into Water. Against foes that are not originally Water element, this means:
  • Earth allies' attacks gain elemental advantage (+50% Earth ATK), can critically hitNote: By default, Non-elemental foes can be critically hit by any element., and benefit from final damage modifiers against Water foes (e.g., Seraphic Weapons' Blessings).
    • When used against the Final Rally boss during Unite and Fight, the elemental advantage granted by Elemental FrictionOriginal element has been lost and water element has been gained instead / Deals water DMG (Excludes plain DMG / Can't be removed)
      Local status effect stacks with the special elemental advantage of the Final Rally boss, causing final damage modifiers to be applied twice.
  • Afflicted foe's attacks deal reduced Water damage (-25% Water ATK) due to elemental disadvantage and cannot critically hit against Earth allies (unless there are effects that allow it to occur).
  • Afflicted foe still retains any elemental and debuff resistances.
    • Example: If a foe originally has 50% Earth damage resistance, Elemental FrictionOriginal element has been lost and water element has been gained instead / Deals water DMG (Excludes plain DMG / Can't be removed)
      Local status effect does not remove the resistance.
• Foes afflicted with Prison of WarCharge diamonds don't fill up / Can't use special attacks
  Local status effect:
  • do not increase their charge diamonds;
  • are unable to use their special attacks;
  • will have their HP triggers delayed until the debuff expires.
• Prison of WarCharge diamonds don't fill up / Can't use special attacks
  Local status effect does not remove triggers. It only prevents the activation of triggers while the status effect is active.
• Triggers that ignore ParalyzedCan't attack
  also ignore Prison of WarCharge diamonds don't fill up / Can't use special attacks
  Local status effect
• In Battle System 2.0, Prison of WarCharge diamonds don't fill up / Can't use special attacks
  Local status effect and other similar statuses that disable special attacks become status effects that prevent Omens from being displayed.
  • However, any special attacks with an Omen currently displayed will activate even if such status effects are applied in the same turn.

Ecliptica

• The element stolen is random and can steal the same element again regardless of existing effects.
• When activated twice with BlessedNext Ecliptica activates twice (Can't be removed)
  , it steals two elements that are always different from each other.
• Sandalphon still gains an Elemental ATK Up buff even if the Elemental ATK Down debuff does not land on a foe.

The Vice

• Dispel CancelEffects that remove buffs will be nullified (1 time)
  and similar effects can prevent this skill's buff removal.

Four Primarchs' Wings

• Fire ATK UpFire ATK is boosted
  , Water ATK UpWater ATK is boosted
  , Earth ATK UpEarth ATK is boosted
  , or Wind ATK UpWind ATK is boosted
  from other sources (e.g., Carbuncle call effect, other allies) are applicable for the Bonus DMG effects.
• Light ATK UpLight ATK is boosted
  , Dark ATK UpDark ATK is boosted
  , and stackable versions of Elemental ATK Up buffs are not applicable for bonus effects.

This is What I Live For

• Can't be healed by normal healing methods, but can still recover HP from turn-based damage effects such as BurnedHP is lowered on every turn
  and PoisonedHP is lowered on every turn
  .
  • HP recovered by turn-based damage is unaffected by boosts to healing specs.
• The permanent turn-based damage from this support skill is converted to HP recovery, resulting in an effect similar to RefreshHP is restored on every turn
  .
• When afflicted with ZombifiedReceives DMG if healed
  , can still recover HP from turn-based damage, but normal healing methods will deal damage.

Extended Mastery Support Skill

• Each star increases the boost to triple attack rate based on the number of foe's debuffs.
• The table below shows the maximum boost to triple attack rate:
