Elem-Atk

Elem-Atk is a junction that your characters can gain access to if they have Guardian Force that has the Junction Ability IconElem-Atk-J junction ability. There are no Elem-Atk-Jx2 or Elem-Atk-Jx4 abilities (like there are for Elem-Def-J) because this ability grants an element to your character’s physical attacks, and these physical attacks can’t hit with more than one element at the same time.

It’s important to note that while junctioning elemental magic to your character’s physical attacks can quite often be helpful and greatly increase damage done, some enemies absorb attacks with certain elements. For example, you would not want to equip Green Magick IconFire, Green Magick IconFira, or Green Magick IconFiraga to Elem-Atk when facing off against a Ruby Dragon, as this will cause physical attacks to heal the dragon.
