Holy and Light Element Combat Guide

Helion and Lunara are Holy-element Aniimo, and Holy is the element also referred to in-game as Light. Both are Light-element DPS. Both are starter options.

Their elemental typing is identical, which has one concrete consequence: neither has an elemental weakness the other does not. Whatever separates the two, it is not type coverage, and choosing between them is its own topic covered elsewhere on this site. For the purposes of a combat guide, you can treat either starter as the same slot on the element chart.

Lunara is a ranged holy and magical damage dealer. She fights from the backline, throwing wide area spells from a safe distance, which makes her a space control answer as much as a damage one. She also amplifies damage and holds up well in long battles, so she is the starter that rewards a fight going the distance rather than one that ends in a burst.

The part that changes your team building is the debuff. Lunara reduces enemy resistance to Holy-element attacks. That means the value of a second Holy damage dealer on the same team is not flat: everything you point at a target she has debuffed lands harder. If you are stacking Light damage, she is the one who opens the door.

Light is not only a starter element. Three Prismana forms bring it in.

Fenmane is an Electric-element Aniimo, and Prismana Fenmane carries an exclusive Light-element skill. Fulmintis, also Electric, gains the Light element outright in its Prismana form. Glacy's Prismana form pairs Water with Holy or Light typing.

Notice the pattern. Two of the three are Electric Aniimo picking up Light when they change form, which is the practical reason a Light-leaning roster and a lightning roster tend to be the same roster.

Luminell is the reason lightning teams are built as lightning teams rather than as a collection of good units. Her passive trait increases lightning damage exclusively, by 12%. Her ability Spotlight Moment increases lightning teammates' basic attack damage by 27% and their break efficiency by 16%.

Read the word exclusively literally. Luminell gives a non-lightning teammate nothing, so she is a slot you commit to rather than a generically good support. The upside is that she pays twice, once in damage and once in break, which is why a Breaker fits so naturally beside her. Blazen is a Breaker-class Aniimo that uses Lightning and Dark, and Fulmintis is an Electric-element Aniimo, so the bodies to fill the team exist.

On the field itself, Thunder Field makes enemies standing inside it take extra damage and lightning effects when struck. That is a zone you want the fight to happen in, not a burst you fire off and forget.

The same threshold shows up in two different elements, and recognising it saves you a lot of guesswork.

Thunder Imprint stores the damage of each hit on the target and releases it when the effect ends. If the target is holding 10 stacks of Lightning Debuff at that moment, the stacks are consumed to deal additional damage. The timing is the whole skill. The check happens when the effect ends, not while it is running.

Ice works the same way from the other side. Frost Tail Strike, a Physical skill used by the Ice Aniimo Glynsera, has a power of 60 and can consume 10 stacks of [Ice Debuff] on its target to deal 85% extra damage. A power 60 hit is not what you are paying for. The stack consumption is. That makes the applier the important half of the pairing, and Geoclaw is the obvious one: an Ice-element BREAK Aniimo that applies [Ice Debuff] stacks to enemies very consistently.

So the shape to look for is a supplier and a spender. One Aniimo piles stacks on, another cashes them in.

Lunara lowering Holy resistance is one example of a wider job. Fragrancier lowers Dark resistance on enemies, doing for a Dark team what Lunara does for a Light one.

Dark gets a second route to the same effect through a status. Applying three stacks of Drowsiness puts a target into Nightmare for 20 seconds, which lowers its Dark Resistance and stops it moving or casting skills for 3 seconds. Taking damage ends that control effect, so treat the lockout as a short window you spend rather than a stun you can safely unload into. The status system itself is covered in depth in the elemental matchups guide.

Witchin sits alongside all of this as a dark-element energy Aniimo whose kit uses curse mechanics to restore EP, with additional EP granted when Dark basic attacks hit enemies afflicted with [Curse]. Between Fragrancier stripping resistance and Witchin turning Curse into resources, a Dark team has the same two-part structure a lightning team does: someone makes the target vulnerable, and someone profits from it.

07Where to start

If you took either starter, you already have a Light damage dealer and a Holy resistance debuff. Build the rest of the team around what pays that off: a stack applier, a spender, and a buffer who only works if everyone shares an element.
