Each Hero has an element - Fire, Water, Earth, Light or Dark.
Elements have an elemental against another. This means you will deal double damage by attacking with a Hero with elemental advantage.
The Element Indicator, shown during Quests and on the Team Select screen, shows you the relationship between elements.
- Water beats Fire
- Fire beats Earth
- Earth beats Water
- Light beats Dark
- Dark beats Light
Note this means that a Light Hero will do double damage when attacking a Dark Enemy but will also receive double damage when that enemy hits back.
- Fire Heroes are red (or feature a lot of red)
- Water Heroes are blue
- Earth Heroes are green
- Light Heroes are yellow
- Dark Heroes are Purple
Because elemental advantages are so powerful, it's important to take the enemy's elements into account when choosing which Heroes to have on your squad for a given quest.
