What are Elemental Debuffs?

Elemental Debuffs Reduce Elemental Resistance Per Stack

Elemental Debuffs are statuses that can affect Aniimo, whether it be the ones in your party or the enemy. Elemental Debuffs can stack up to a maximum of 20 stacks, with elemental resistance to that element reducing by 1% per stack. Sparki and Flamerion are interesting in this regard, as they naturally have 20 Fire Debuffs already due to setting the ground on fire.

A Fire Aniimo with 20 stacks of Water Debuffs will take 20% more damage on top of their innate weakness to Water. The inverse is true, with Fire Aniimo taking 20% less Fire damage on top of their natural resistance to Fire if they have 20 stacks of their element's debuff.

Weather Conditions Can Inflict Debuffs

If it is raining or there is a thunderstorm in an area, traversing during this weather can inflict Water Debuffs on your Aniimo since they get wet. Be mindful of this when controlling Aniimo who are weak to Water, as getting into fights while out in the open may cause you to take more damage than usual.

How to Change Weather

Swimming Can Also Inflict Debuffs

Similarly, standing on water such as shallow ponds will also inflict Water Debuffs. Even Aniimo like Flamerion will get wet, with its Fire Debuffs slowly decreasing the longer it stays in water. This will decrease until the Water Debuffs stack until 20.

Be mindful of where your Aniimo is when navigating during battles where the environment is still present, as this can either work to your advantage or be a disadvantage instead. If you need to be in water, bring Water Aniimo like Glacy or Sherro who benefit from being surrounded by water.

Spark Energy	Fire	Magical	20
Spark Energy	Hurls an empowered fireball that explodes on impact, dealing area damage and inflicting 2 stacks of Fire Debuff.

Fire has a variety of Aniimo that can inflict its Elemental Debuff. Magmarex is a great DPS unit if you give it teammates who can also inflict the Fire Debuff, as it can stun enemies if it has more than 5 stacks. The Emberpup family is good for this, as their Fire Bolt can inflict 2 stacks instead of just 1.

Ice Debuffs

Skill	Element	DMG	EP
Chill Glide	Ice	Magical	20
Chill Glide	Flies while dropping Ice element stars to attack the target for damage. Every 1 hits on a target applies 1 stack of Ice Debuff. After maintaining the skill state for 4s, can attack while moving for 15s.
Icy Gravel Dance	Ice	Magical	20
Icy Gravel Dance	Summons an Ice Storm that continuously builds up Ice Debuff on targets. The Ice Storm keeps moving forward until it hits a wall or a target.
Ice Strikes	Ice	Physical	20
Ice Strikes	Lunges forward and spins to create a magic field that fires 3 ice blades for 3 hits, dealing damage and applying 5 stacks of Ice Debuff.
Boomerang Blade	Ice	Physical	20+10/s

Frost Tail Strike	Ice	Physical	15
Frost Tail Strike	Flips forward toward the target and slams the ground with a tail strike, dealing damage. Can consume 10 stacks of Ice Debuff to deal 85% extra damage.

The Bonesky family, Geoclaw, and Stellarys can all apply Ice Debuff, though Geoclaw is recommended if you specifically need a debuffer since Glynsera and Stellarys are more suited for dealing damage. Stellarys would have to replace its Shadow Magic skill and sacrifice its damage output to have Chill Glide, whereas Geoclaw and Glynsera's best skill already stack Ice Debuffs.

Other Elemental Debuffs

Skill	Element	DMG	EP
The Luminus Gust	Earth	Magical	10
The Luminus Gust	Spins Cores around itself, continuously dealing damage and applying Earth Debuff for 5.5s.
Water Cannonade	Water	Physical	20
Water Cannonade	Jumps up and hurls a huge water ball at the target, dealing AoE damage, creating a water puddle, and applying 5 stacks of Water Debuff to targets hit.

Earth Debuffs can only be dealt by the Mudflat and Beach variants of Budclaw and Shrubclaw. If you want an Earth debuffer, you will have to search for these variants instead of their base versions.

Water Debuffs can be applied by Panpanta, making it possible for enemies to be debuffed even when the environment has no water for them to step on.

Support Skills That Remove Elemental Debuffs

Skill	Element	DMG	EP
Purifying Dance	Grass	Support	20
Purifying Dance	Removes all debuffs on surrounding teammates. Once the debuffs are removed, increases their EP recovery rate by 20% for 10s.
Phantom Dance	Dark	Support	20
Phantom Dance	Removes debuffs from the caster. When off-field, Gracewing automatically appears to remove debuffs from the active teammate.

Gracewing is a valuable support Aniimo, as it can remove all of the debuffs on your teammates. Its Nighttime variant can even clear debuffs off-field, making it so that your DPS or healer can still cast their skills while getting cleared of their debuffs.
