imbuing elements with weapons

[Guitarsmasher]

i know this is kinda a stupid question, but i still havent found out. how do you imbue a weapon with an element? like ice or fire?

[MoNoMaTe_MoNkEy]

You have to synthesize it with your PM. Usually weapon boards will have an ingredient as ???, thats where you put your photon choice, each one has a different effect, like strength of an element.

Guns and Wands/Rods are a different than melee. Guns become the element of the Bullet Art you equip and Wands/Rods become elemental if all the techs equipped are of that same element (Foie and Rafoie on a wand, say).

So...you're not allowed to choose the type of photon to use on guns? I was thinking of synthing a rifle with ice and use the fire bullet to counteract the lowered damage against ice types.

You CAN NOT synth guns with elements. Boards won't allow it.

When you equip a rifle's 'bullet' (just think of 'bullet' as a Photon Art), the rifle changes element to match your selection. You must synthesis an element to melee weapons, and this is permanent, unlike ranged weapons and technic weapons.
