Mechanics
Each elemental attack has a random chance to inflict its respectivestatus effect that is determined by thaability orcombat art used. Additionally, the respective Essence ability can increase the infliction rate in addition to the range and damage dealt by the respective element's attacks.
Everymonster enemy has an element as one of its weak points. If the monster is attacked with that respective element, the associatedstun gauge will slowly deplete and, once it is fully depleted, the player will be able to perform aCritical Rush which is guaranteed to deplete the remainder of the monster's current health bar.
