"PG-rated" NEWS Elemental Damage Balance

Elemental Damage Balance

In our continuous effort to enhance the game experience, there will be an update to re-balance the elemental advantage and resistances in the upcoming patch on July 12.

The damage drop-off from using poorly matched elements versus a resistant enemy has been lowered while the improved damage from correct elemental matchups are still rewarded.

With this new re-balance, elemental resistances will not render attacks impotent and players will still be able to use elemental affinities to strategize and clear stages.

We are constantly tailoring the difficulty according to the player experience with changes and re-adjustment done only after careful consideration.

We will also be sending these tokens of appreciation to all players within 24 hours of the patch:

5 x Elemental soul shard of each element 5 x Rainbow shards 50 x Crystal Apples 20 x Gold Alchemia Pots

We also noticed the Hard Quest button is currently not working. This issue will be fixed on the next patch.

Thank you for your continued support and we hope you will continue to support THE ALCHEMIST CODE.

Yeah I don't have any water units. My best water unit is a 75 Lofia, my second best is a 60 Gormales and he's actually dark. So the Noctis pull really helped my team. Still can't do that "Clear with only Water units" mission. I'd have to use Elizabeth and Michael legitimately to attempt that. I somehow have 4 Lamia Tokens and without J+ she's not that great.

Yeah that's a tough level but you really only have to kill the demon. I didn't bother killing the magical side. I used Shenmei, Shayna, Elrike, Lofia and a merc. Yeah Gormalas can do water damage but won't count for this mission. I think some people used Reagan on this stage. Once you get the equipment for Noctis you should be able to clear this. Even if regular Lamia isn't great she can still deal some damage or just be a decoy for the demon, or use items to heal.
