Core: Elements V3

Elements

Elements are the core of all abilities. Elements all have their own effects, weaknesses, and uses in various circumstances. The best fighter utilises their elements to the best of their abilities. These used in combination with types.

Types

Types are what kind of attack it is. Any and all elements can have a type. There are 3 types. Slash, Pierce, and Blunt. You could have Slashing Wind, Piercing Lightning, or Blunt Shadow. Any combination is possible.

Slashing

This type is most common on bladed weaponry. It is capable of cutting off limbs, cutting through soft clothing and armours. However it is easily stopped by hard armour like steel.

Piercing

This type is most common in pointy and ranged weaponry. It is capable of penetrating some DEF, can go through soft materials, however it's not particularly good at dealing with hard armour or removing limbs.

Blunt

This type is most common in unarmed combat, and flat weapons. This is best at dealing with armoured targets as the force from the blow damages the target through the armour reducing the damage but still dealing damage. It can also be used to take limbs off if they're hit hard enough. Or even just break bones to disable the target.
