All Stats Explained
Damage types are separated into two categories — Physical or Elemental. Physical Damage applies to attacks caused directly by your weapon, while Elemental Damage comes from spells or invocations and directly involves one of the elements in the game.
Enemies have weaknesses and can be one of the elements in the game. You can exploit those weaknesses to inflict more damage, immobilize them, or cause a status effect for a short time.
Pawns will mention the enemies' weaknesses or whether someone in the party can exploit them, so keep your ears open for those callouts!
