An element is a stat added to most living things in Nostale, giving them power and advantages of a particular element. There are four elements in Nostale: fire, water, light and dark.
Effects of an element[]
Each element is superior or inferior to one another.
~ Fire < Light < Water < Darkness < Fire
A superior element's attack on an inferior element: 50% additional damage. No element is always inferior to any other element and will receive 30% additional damage.
Characters have no default elements. They need a fairy to get an element.
Monsters and their elements[]
Some monsters have elements. For example, a kenko spearman is a dark element. These monsters turn 15% of their possible damages into the element of darkness for additional damage.
Resistance[]
If the opponent has resistance to the same element, the damage to the opponent shall decrease by as much as the resistance is. If you have resistance, the damage a monster of the element of resistance does on you will also decrease.
