Overview
Elemental Catalyst douses the Alchemist's summoned plants in a reactive chemical that recolors their attacks to a chosen element. The cast level decides which element is applied, letting an Alchemist tune a field of plants to exploit a monster's elemental weakness. It requires no reagent, only SP, and has no cooldown.
Mechanics
On cast, every plant the Alchemist currently owns has its attack element overridden for the duration of the buff. The element is chosen by the level used to cast the skill:
- Lv 1 — Fire
- Lv 2 — Water
- Lv 3 — Wind
- Lv 4 — Earth
A matching elemental burst flashes on each plant as the catalyst takes hold. The re-elementing lasts 30 seconds at every level. The skill consumes no item catalyst and can be recast as soon as it ends.
Leveling
| Level | Element applied | Duration | SP cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Fire | 30 sec | 50 |
| 2 | Water | 30 sec | 50 |
| 3 | Wind | 30 sec | 50 |
| 4 | Earth | 30 sec | 50 |
Notes
- Affects all of the caster's own summoned Bio Cannibalize plants at the moment of casting; plants summoned afterward keep their default element until the buff is refreshed.
- Match the applied element to a monster's elemental weakness for a damage advantage.
- No reagent is required, only SP, and the skill has no cooldown.
