Elements and Status Effects
Elements and Actions
All battle actions (attacks, skills, items) have elements associated with them.
Using an element that the enemy is vulnerable to will allow you to deal extra damage.
There are two types of elemental attributes, primary and secondary, and the combination of these determines the final attribute.
Primary Elements
There are two types: 
Physical and 
Magic.
Checking Primary Elements
- Attacks/Skills: Main Menu > Formation/Status
- Use Item: Main Menu > Basket/Container
Physical Damage = Physical
Magic Damage = Magic
(Elemental) Damage = Magic
Secondary Elements
There are four secondary elements: 
fire, 
ice, 
lightning, and 
wind.
Some actions don't have secondary elements.
Note: Normal attacks have no secondary element.
Checking Secondary Elements
- Skill: Main Menu > Formation/Status
- Use Item: An item's secondary element depends on the effects of the item.
Status Effects
Characters may sometimes be affected by status effects.
There are both positive and negative effects. You can view these effects under Party Info. Some effects also have depth levels, and the higher these levels the more powerful the effect will be.
Most status effects will eventually go away on their own.

Area Boost
If there are multiple enemies within the same area, their stats and abilities will be enhanced. The exact effect depends on the type and number of monsters in the area. You will need to either defeat or stun enemies to remove this effect.
Enhanced enemies will appear red on the minimap in the top-right corner of the screen.
Stun
As you take damage, your Stun Gauge will increase. Once it's full, you will be stunned.
At this point, your next action will be delayed and you'll take increased damage for a period of time.
If your Stun Gauge reaches maximum again while you're stunned, you'll suffer a Break Down, and your movement on the timeline will be halted temporarily.
