Weapons and armor with defense and are weak against certain elements

[cjewell77]

I have been looking. i am a bit confused. Ok say I have flame armor and I want it to have more resistance to ice attacks. Should I select element rate under the traits and put that as ice? Also say i had a flame sword. I want it to have extra damage to ice based enemies. Do I select attack element fire? This should be simple but I just cant think right now. As always any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you

For elemental resistance, you set an element rate with that element as lower than 100% (so 50% element rate is half damage).

And yes, you give the weapon the fire element and have the enemies weak against fire have an element rate higher than 100% (150% would be 50% more damage).
