The following is a list of all elements in Final Fantasy V.
Mechanics[]
Targets weak to an element suffer double damage from it, and their defense drops to 0; this is essentially the same as being the target of a critical hit. Those resistant to an element take half damage, and those immune evade damage (the attack always misses). Those that absorb an element are healed by it by the maximum amount, as their defense value against the attack also drops to 0.
Defensive equipment pieces' elemental defense does not stack for the same element. For example, a character with the Diamond Helm, which halves lightning damage, and the Diamond Armor, which also halves lightning damage, the damage will not be halved twice.
Equipping gear with different affinities for the same element follows these priorities:
- Absorption
- Immunity
- Resistance
- Weakness
Imbuing a sword with an element via Spellblade makes them much more powerful against enemies weak to said element and to pierce through their defenses. If the player uses Firaga, Blizzaga, Thundaga, Bio, or Holy on their Spellblade, their attack may act as an instant death attack against enemies weak to that element.
