Anime Vanguards (AV) elements

The Elements page, revised 2026-08-19, is the buff list I trust. I copied the current text, not the 3 June 2025 wording the history section replaces.

• Spark: immune to damage-down debuffs.
• Nature: immune to range-down.
• Water: immune to SPA-down.
• Fire: each fire unit in range gives other fire units +1 percent damage.
• Holy: status effects last 50 percent less time.
• Passion: each passion unit in range gives other passion units +2 percent range.
• Curse: +30 percent damage to bosses.
• Blast: ignores 10 percent of enemy damage reduction.
• Cosmic: clears status effects and debuffs on self, with a 30-second local cooldown.
• Unbound: increases critical rate by 5 percent.
• Unknown: immune to status ailments and debuffs.

Elements gained from a familiar, passive or active apply after placement and do not make a unit eligible for an Elemental Tower. Intrinsic dual-element units are different: their two elements count before placement.

Elemental Towers multiply a matching element by 3 and cut a different element by 80 percent. Chaos mode can be enabled there to clear faster. Portals assign one element and start at +200 percent damage. Elemental reactions on portals were removed on 5 August 2025. Worldlines weather changes elements by floor. A tournament can ban an element. The page says units are ranked inside their own element on the tier list.
