How to Damage Elemental Units
Elemental units are notoriously difficult to deal with in ASTD. They require a specific approach to defeat, and ignoring this may result in countless attempts with little to no progress. In this article, we will explore the best methods to damage and defeat elemental units.
What are Elemental Units?
Before we dive into the damage mechanics, let’s first understand what elemental units are. Elemental units are powerful units that belong to one of the six elements: Fire, Water, Lightning, Wind, Earth, and Light. They possess unique abilities that make them formidable opponents on the battlefield.
Elemental Units’ Weaknesses
Each elemental unit has its own set of weaknesses. Understanding these weaknesses is crucial to dealing massive damage to these units.
| Elemental Unit | Weaknesses |
|---|---|
| Fire | Water |
| Water | Fire, Lightning |
| Lightning | Water, Wind |
| Wind | Fire, Lightning, Earth |
| Earth | Wind, Water |
| Light | Lightning, Darkness |
Using Units with Effects
Certain units possess effects that are particularly useful against elemental units. For example, Rukia’s effect "Water Breathing" negates Water’s weakness to Lightning, allowing you to damage Water-elemental units without worrying about their weakness to Lightning. Similarly, Venom’s effect "Poison" weakens elemental units, making them more susceptible to damage.
Damage Calculation Formula
The damage calculation formula for elemental units is different from regular units. The formula takes into account the unit’s elemental resistance and the elemental type of the attacking unit. This means that if a Fire-elemental unit is attacking a Fire-elemental unit, the damage calculation will be reduced due to the unit’s elemental resistance.
Increasing Damage with Enchants
Enchants can significantly boost your unit’s damage output. Using enchants with effects such as "Ignore Elemental Resistance" or "Increase Fire Damage" can be especially useful against elemental units. Make sure to experiment with different enchants to find the combination that works best for your unit.
Special Abilities
Some units have special abilities that can exploit elemental units’ weaknesses. For example, Dabi’s "Inferno" ability deals massive fire damage and ignores elemental resistance. Using these abilities at the right moment can greatly increase your chances of defeating elemental units.
Countering with Burn
Bleed causes an affected enemy to take damage every 2 seconds for 8 seconds. This is particularly useful against elemental units, as they often rely on their abilities to maintain a distance between themselves and the enemy. By applying bleed to an elemental unit, you can ensure a steady flow of damage and whittle down its health.
Summary
Dealing with elemental units requires a combination of understanding their weaknesses, using units with effective effects, and exploiting special abilities. By following the tips and strategies outlined above, you’ll be better equipped to take down even the most formidable elemental units.
Remember to experiment with different unit combinations, enchants, and special abilities to find what works best for you. With practice and patience, you’ll master the art of defeating elemental units in ASTD.
