ETWFA and other letter combinations | Vocabulary | Combinations of skillpoints/elements in a build or item. EWA = Earth/Water/Air, etc. Please stick to ETWFA order, it's the standard because it's the same order as the skillpoint menu. If some letters are lowercase and some uppercase, it usually means the uppercase letters are more emphasized. This is seen in quads where the only component that makes it a quad is one item with a smallish req, like eTWF being used for builds where it's TWF + draoi fair (strength requirement). |
mono/duo/tri/quad/penta | Vocabulary | 1/2/3/4/5 element combos. Big distinction between Penta and Rainbow: Penta uses no rainbow items, so it's a build that has all skillpoint reqs but no items that require all skillpoints. Do NOT assume that multi-element combos have to do multi-element damage. |
rainbow | Vocabulary | Weapons with all the elements. Items with requirements in every skillpoint. Builds utilizing them. |
