Plotting to Buy a New Weapon~ Would You Advise?

[sychobunny]

But I don't know what to get next. I love my Fire Sword with earth monsters, so I'm looking for something else that's extra good with another element, but I don't know what is extra good against what.

I also have a Scythe of Purity, but I haven't noticed it being especially good with anything; just generally good, which is nice against darkness monsters who are hardly bothered by my fire sword, but I'd rather have another especially good with certain things and just remember what's good with what.

If I can get input/ advice from people's experiences with their various weaponry, I would like to make a master list, to help others who don't know what to go after next.

|Weapon Element| is ______ against |Monster element|
Earth Strong Water
Earth Weak Fire
Earth Weak Wind
Earth Weak Ice
Fire Strong Earth
Fire Strong Ice
Fire Weak Darkness
Fire Weak Water
Water Strong Fire
Water Strong Poison
Water Weak Earth
Light Strong Darkness
Light Weak Bacon
Light Weak Holy
Poison Strong Bacon
Poison Weak Water
Metal Strong Wind
Wind Weak Metal

I'm not sure of what is good against what, though if you have a fire weapon, maybe the best option would be to go with a water/ice weapon. I mean, theoretically, something that is strong against fire should be weak against water/ice, right?

Gah, I need to start thinking when I fight XD

Thanks for the list, BTW. We were just trying to figure out what element is stronger/weaker against what in the Newcomers Help Center.

xD I browsed around looking for a list. We started one WAY back in a general battle system help, but I can't even find that thread.

Earth is not stronger against water. I just tested my stick vrs my sickle

The stick (power 2, earth element) did 6 damage while my sickle (power 2, steel element) did 11 on a flyingdevilray

I would suggest using the fire sword from the latest lotus event, spray bottle and a metal axe. I find there the three I need to repair most often since I use them constantly.

Really? My Earth Wand does the most damage when I'm fighting a water element.

And I got a metal axe and it is saving me a lot with this event

Sycho is right. Earth is stronger than water and metal is stronger than wind. I just checked the admin panel.

All Hail Adminly Powers!

If earth weapons are stronger against Water then please explain this screenshot.

Stick= Earth Power 2

Horai Longsword= No Element Power 2.

The stick clearly does 9 damage LESS than the unelemented weapon.

I'm honestly not sure, Smite. Maybe it's because your element is Ice, which is weak to Earth? Since you're weaker than the element you're wielding maybe that decreases its power. I'll try it with an energy weapon to see though. (I'm metal.)


Nope, I'm doing fine. I don't know why it's like that.

[Gwendlyne]

Using water on earth seems to have the exact same effect for me as well. It makes no sense since earth is weak attacking water and vice versa water is weak attacking earth.

Perhaps it could have something to with my tribe, class, alignment or element.

Btw does anyone know what Sexy is weak against?

[sychobunny]

I haven't found anything on sexy...

And the event item Werso Ventus isn't acting like a fire element when I use it despite saying its fire. Does it matter if it uses mana? I imagine that the stick doesn't, and I wasn't paying attention to see if the event item does...

[Smite]

I dont think mana consumption makes a difference. The Huo Draconem Svarde does act like a fire element and doesn't use mana.
