Maybe? It was whichever run JA increases damage taken by a specific element, I could only get damage increases for light damage(edit: including when her hands were dark). A real run player I knew tested this as well at got the same result. IIRC she did crap damage to light elementals in sky as well, but those might just have light DT not resist? In all of these cases it was right when arciela 1 came out thou, so something might have changed.
Gambit increases dmg to an element. Rayke lowers resistances and can lower elemental sdts if they have them and does some weird stuff to the nuking too much too fast dmg nerf. Hand color changes were mode changes iirc similar to light/dark arts where would go more towards support or enfeebling.
Elementals have huge sdts as well as immunities to debuffs to elements they are strong too which sort of makes it hard to tell if they have resistances too but probably. Light elmentals also tend to keep shell on themselves too.
I've been collecting the Trusts from the Spring event.
Lots of trust in the May event which are the must haves? Getting shanatto II for sure!
Login Campaign:
Uka and Mayakov for JA dynamis procs
Star Sybil, MAB/MAcc aura if you're not engaging (solo mage,etc)
Shantotto2
Spring Ego Fest:
Qultada - COR. Uses COR roll when you have Dedication or Commitment rings up. Typically Chaos/Warrior or Chaos/Evoker otherwise.
Amchuchu - Reasonable tank (RUN)
Sakura - Regen aura, Melee skillup rate up
King of Hearts - Opens with Dia3. Haste2/Refresh2 on person who summoned him, Phalanx2 on anyone with hate. Bursts Firaga4 on fire SCs. Dispel WS. Will help with status, but takes a lot to get him to cure
Don't forget Karaha as one of the best non UC healers if you don't care about the AoEing which is also kind of a lot of dmg lol.
Mayakov is actually one of the best dds once he's done landing the gazillion steps he puts on things. So short fights has basically 0 dps but longer ones it's really good.
Koru-Moru also solid but more support and stays farther back rdm.
Mnejing also a solid all around tank. Not as good against physical as August nor as good against specific element magic as Amchuchu but better than either in the other way and better than the rest of the meh tanks. Well except I guess those niche uses of Gessho but his hate kind of sucks.
I tend to use EV over August simply because he loves to throw away his wings on a 10 damage WS and die immediately afterwards. And Amchuchu loves to use berserk and dies to anything that swings harder than a stiff breeze, or nukes with more than 1 element. All trust tanks find ways to die eventually though so it's really a toss up with the mob you want to fight and how long the fight goes.
Don't buy Koru-Moru if it's not on a new character. He's available for free from ROE once you hit lv99/ilv117.
AAEV is kind of another all arounder. 10% dt and decent hp makes similarly not excel but not suck against a particular dmg type.... but auto has 35% so. Has decent amount of hate moves so way better than Mnejing in that department but August/Amchuchu tend to hold hate better.
Does August have Plantoid Killer or something? Ygnas was getting intimidated trying to cast spells on him.
So some random info. AATT will not even try to cast sleepga on targets that are immune. Really annoying if it's the center mob or something
Ygnas seems immune to sleep or at least light base ones. Haven't had them land yet and will attempt to immediately wake you. If has tp will do the AoE heal move if not cure 1 unless you need hp restored
