Elements
For my first DomoBrasil
article I would like to introduce you to elements and how to choose
a monster to level on.
There are 5
elements in DOMO:
Fire
Water
Wood
Metal
Earth
Each element has another
element it is strongest against, and one it is weakest against.
Fire is strongest
against metal (150%) and earth (125%) and does 100% damage against
fire and wood monsters. It is weakest against water based monsters
and will only do 50% damage.
Water is strongest
against fire (150%) and wood (125%) and does 100% damage on water
and metal. It is weakest against earth element monsters and will
only do 50% damage against them
Wood is strongest against earth
(150%) and fire (125%) element monsters, and does 100% damage on
wood and water. It is weakest against metal element monsters where
it will only do 50% damage.
Metal is strongest
against wood (150%) and Water (125%) element monsters, and does 100%
damage against metal and earth. It is weakest against Fire element
monsters (50%) damage.
Earth is strongest against
water (150%) and metal (125%) element monsters, and does 100% damage
against Earth and fire. It is weakest against wood where it will
only do 50% damage.
Now that we understand
elements, how can we make them work for us.
First we can choose a
weapon with the right element for what we are fighting. The first
weapon you get with an elemental attribute is at level 20. Say you
are level 25 Wizard, You wouldn't want to use a Ghostly glow wand (fire
elemental attribute) against Crimson globs. you might want to use a
non elemental, or water elemental wand in this case. If at level 35
or so you find yourself fighting Bandit bow wow (fire element
monster) in Blakatoa or Canute Canal with your wizard, a very good
choice of wand might be the Wispy Wand (Water elemental attribute)
Second Try and match your
pet up against a monster it it strongest against. One of my favorite
monsters to level on is the Shielded snake. a high level Merc type
earth monster. This makes him weak to my Ruby and if I am able to
use a fire or wood element weapon this is a great leveling situation.
The object is always to do the most damage the fastest possible
while taking the least damage. Keep in mind, pets not only have an
elemental attack, they also have an elemental defense. A bad choice
of pet on the Shielded snake would be a Saphire. A Saphire's damage
will be reduced by 50% and, if the Saph gets hit, it is going to
hurt....a lot.
Keep in mind some attacks
are elemental attacks. Shaman is a good example of a job with a lot
of elemental attacks. If you are fighting a metal element monster,
you might want to put Heatstroke Hex at the top of your attack order
and use it most often, followed by Coming Of Autumn as these will do
the most damage, and move Ides Of March to the bottom of your list
and use it least.
I hope this article gets
you thinking and would like you to ask yourself the following
questions as you level.
1- Am I using the best weapon possible against this monster?
2- Is this Monster the best choice for my selection of weapons, pets
, and level?
I think that if you do
this you can put yourself in the best leveling situation possible.
