Element

An element is a game mechanic found in Dawn of the Breakers. Every Hero and enemy is categorized by their element, along with an additional subtype. Elemental interactions determine how much damage a character can deal or receive in a battle.

Elements
There are four elements in the game, namely, Vita (heart), Fate (hexagon), Terra (teardrop), and Fortune (bitten circle). The elemental advantage chain follows the aforementioned order as well (Vita > Fate > Terra > Forture > Vita).

Attacking an opponent with an elemental advantage will deal more damage to it, while an elemental disadvantage does less damage. For instance, a Fortune-element Hero will deal more damage to a Vita-element opponent. Conversely, they deal less damage to Terra-element opponents.

Elemental advantage is visually indicated by yellow-font damage numbers and a shaded Target Marker.

Subtypes
Each element is further divided into color subtypes that have additional layers of elemental advantages. These subtypes are: These color subtypes have their own advantage chain as well. An example would be White > Silver > Black > Amber > White. Attacking an enemy with the proper subtype advantage deals additional damage than relying on the main elemental advantage chain alone. For instance, a Fate/Violet Hero is effective against a Terra/Green opponent, and super effective against a Terra/Cyan opponent.
 * Red, White, Pink (Vita)
 * Blue, Silver, Violet (Fate)
 * Green, Black, Cyan (Terra)
 * Yellow, Amber, Orange (Fortune)

Subtype advantage is visually indicated by red-outlined yellow damage numbers and a spinning shaded Target Marker.

Trivia

 * Attacking an opponent with an element positioned directly opposite or similar to the user will net no additional damage.
 * For instance, Terra-element characters deal neutral damage to Vita-element characters and itself.
 * Despite what the colors suggest, elements in Dawn of the Breakers do not necessarily pertain to classical elements.
 * Snowflake Scepter (Vita/Pink) uses ice-based attacks.
 * Mystic Tome (Terra/Cyan) uses fire, lightning, and ice in her spells.
 * Watchful Vine (Fate/Violet) uses a variety of plant-based attacks.
