Element Levels?

[Kytan]

What exactly do they do? Increased chance of activation? More potent effect? Longer lasting effect? I have no idea >_<

[Kirukia]

Depends on the element.
Either increased chance of activating (Such as Heat)
Or it's more potent (Such as Celeb)

[rickfrior]

Huh, good question.
I do want to ask... do Elements in general activate depending on your ATA?

All the info is right over here:

Basically, activation is based on the weapon class. The level of the element changes the strength/duration of the effect once it does activate.

Also note that Celeb always activates, and is the only element to do so. ^^

Yeah, same with Life Element.
I'm wondering about the Heaven Element, "unknown" LOL

[Grimhart]

Yeah, unless it gets some sort of additional chance of activating, Heaven might be pretty much the same regardless of level. .-.

[Kirukia]

What about Chaos element. I've never used it but what does it do? Pick a random effect?

[Silvaya]

pretty much. u could deband/shifta a boosted arkzein R and give urself one heck of a time killing it

[Tizerak]

heaven element from what I understand the chance to instant death increases with rank but it kinda sucks cause as you go from Normal -> Hard -> Super Hard more and more things are immune to it where only the lightest of monsters like Usanny / Growls are affected by it.

LOL
That sucks.
I think Arkzein are harder than the rare form though. The rare form doesn't have missiles and it's charge attack just knocks you over.

[Silvaya]

well, arkzein R's arent strong enough to knock me over with their charge attacks anymore, so i'm more worried about close up damage against arkzeins. yes, the regular ones shoot a missile, but usually only once during the initial approach, which i usually avoid. but a boosted arkzein's missile could be fatal for anyone under 500 hp lol

In that case they are probably a bitch. I'm a force so my def sucks and they only hit me once xD
But yeah boosted arkzein are FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF.
I remember my friend and I went through arca on hard with our hunters. Hes also a cast. We killed two arkzein, then more spawned. After we finally won and healed I was picking up my drops while he walked into the next room. He walked back out and goes. Two arkzein, and one is boosted FFFF.
Arkzein are horrible =<

My friend tells me that shields work exceptionally well against approaching Arkzeins, since you can just block the missiles.

[Kirukia]

Hmm I hadn't thought of that.
Thanks for the tip.

I haven't fought against Arkzeins for a while now, but yeah, I remember Shields being awesome against them. Not sure about the missles (can't really remember), but with everything else you can just block for small amounts of PP.

Also, I seem to remember that Shields can have the highest Element Lvs.

I'll probably be using them with my HUcast if I ever get to making him.

If Sega didn't put in the barrel roll in the game we've would've been screwed by Arkzein's ramming attack unless you have high EVP
