Element System

If you know the element, victory is yours! If you know a monster's element and deal an attack with the element it is weak against, you can deal a large amount of damage to the monster.

  1. What is the Element System?

In Ragnarok Online: Zero, there are a total of 10 elements: Neutral, Water, Earth, Fire, Wind, Poison, Holy, Shadow, Ghost, and Undead.
The 10 types of elements have compatibility relationships with each other, being strong against certain elements while weak against others, which affects the choice of weapons and armor.
