This article explains how Elemental Damage and Armor stats work for titans.
Element Cycle
Each titan belongs to one of the elements: water, fire, earth, darkness, and light. Water, fire, and earth are controlled by the Element Cycle:
- Water gets extra damage and defense against fire.
- Fire gets extra damage and defense against earth.
- Earth gets extra attack and defense against water.
Light and darkness are not part of this cycle, but they counter each other.
This extra damage and defense against the counter-element are provided by Elemental Damage and Elemental Armor stats. You can find them in the Stats section of the titan screen:
Elemental Damage
Elemental Damage increases damage against the counter-element titans in accordance with the Element Cycle. To enhance Elemental Damage, you need to upgrade the titan's Artifact Weapon.
Elemental Damage is applied directly to the base damage value. For example, you can add Angus' Elemental Damage to his Attack stat to calculate how much damage he deals to water titans with his basic attack.
Elemental Damage becomes less effective against higher-level opponents. It changes according to the formula: Modified Elemental Damage = Elemental Damage / (1 + level difference / 10).
Elemental Armor
Elemental Armor reduces damage dealt to your titans.
- When attacking, titans are protected only from counter-elements, e.g., fire is protected from earth.
- When defending, earth, water, or fire titans are protected by Elemental Armor against fire, earth, and water attacks. Similarly, dark and light titans in defensive positions are protected from both dark and light elements.
To level up Elemental Armor, you need to upgrade the titan's Artifact Crown.
Elemental Armor works under the following formula: Final damage = initial damage / (1 + Elemental Armor / 300,000).
Let us take a look at the example of Nova, a water titan, attacking Angus, an earth titan. Elemental Armor reduces water's attacks against earth.
- The initial damage of Nova's basic attack (equal to her Attack stat) is 1,286,286.
- Angus' Elemental Armor is 146,547.
Now, applying the formula:
- 1,286,286 / (1 + 146,547 / 300,000) = 1,286,286 / 1,48849 = ~864,154
Thus, Nova's basic attack deals 864,154 damage after accounting for Angus' Elemental Armor:
Elemental Armor becomes less effective against higher-level opponents. It changes according to the formula: Modified Elemental Armor = Elemental Armor / (1 + level difference / 10).
