[Defina Strategy] Thorough Explanation of Element & Faction Attribute Bonuses

Elements are an essential element to win in Defina. Depending on the element, you can expect a significant increase in effectiveness through compatibility or elements.

What are elements?

Different effects depend on various attack and passive skills.
There are five types of element attributes: wind, fire, water, lightning, and earth.
If there are two or more main element heroes of the same race on the team, they benefit from specific element bonuses

Each attribute has a different effect, but we’ll explain all the elements thoroughly!
