How Do Field Effects Work?

Affected by Elements Used in Battle

Field Guide Labeled.jpg

Field Effects currently in place can be seen on the upper left hand side of the screen. The colors on it indicate the colors of up to the last three Elements used in battle from the innermost circle going outwards.

Affects the Power of Battlers on the Field

Having at least two elements of the same color on the field will give that element a slight boost in power, while having all three elements of the same color will give a large boost in power for that element.

Conversely, Elements of the opposite color will be weakened if the Field Effect is not to their favor. Understanding Element weaknesses can be used to keep battles in your favor.
