Dark Elemental Dimension, Special Command initiated by Rose
For magic, whether Dragoon Magic or Attack Items, three pairs of elements are opposed to each other and do more damage to each other. Fire damages Water more, and is damaged by it more. Wind and Earth do more damage to each other. Light and Dark are similarly opposed. Thunder has no opposing element. No Element, sometimes referred to as Unbased element, is unique among the elements. It has no opposite, but is strong against all others[1], yet it does not resist itself. All of the elements do less damage to their own element except Unbased element. The damage values are simple: exploiting an element's weakness results in double damage (200%), while using the same element attack as the target results in half damage (50%).
There are quite quite a few multiple element bosses. For example, the Last Kraken has Thunder, Light and Water attacks.
The element sections appear in the order in which the Dragoons or Characters that later become Dragoons of that element join the party.
Fire[]
Fire is strong against Water and vice versa. Fire also resists itself. Fire, like all elements, is also weak to No Element (Unbased).
The Red-Eyed Dragoon Spirit chose Zieg Feld as a Dragoon during the Dragon Campaign; Rose reawakened it and it chose Dart, who unbeknownst to her was Zieg's son. Fire Dragoon Magic has no special effects and is a balanced mix of single target and All targets damage spells.
Dart's elemental weapon is the Heat Blade.
Fire Enemies[]
All non-boss enemies in the second infiltration of Hellena are Fire, possibly in order to prevent Dart obliterating everything with Dragoon Magic.
19 enemies, 15 of which are before Meru joins the party. Non-boss Fire enemies have lower Magic Attack than other Elements: maximum of 86.
Fire has probably the highest number of Collision Encounter enemies, and certainly the highest ratio. Other than that there is nothing special about their XP, especially compared to the Unique Monsters.

Wind[]
Wind is strong against Earth and vice versa. Wind also resists itself. Wind, like all elements, is also weak to No Element (Unbased).
Rose Storm is widely regarded as the best Dragoon spell. There will even be occasions (especially Fruegel and other Earth bosses) when it will be beneficial to start a Special with it, although it wastes a turn of bonus damage. Often it's best to get the extra damage with another Dragoon, and do Rose Storm as the second or third turn.
Albert's elemental weapon is the Twister Glaive.

Light[]
Light is strong against Dark and vice versa. Light also resists itself. Light, like all elements, is also weak to No Element (Unbased).
Light Dragoon Magic is tied with Dark Dragoon Magic with a total of three spells that have special effects. In Light's case, all three heal allies. The White Silver Dragoon has no single target damage spells and the fewest damage spells overall. Both attack spells target all enemies.
Shana and Miranda's elemental weapon is the Sparkle Arrow.
Light Enemies[]

Darkness[]
Dark is strong against Light and vice versa. Dark also resists itself. Dark, like all elements, is also weak to No Element (Unbased).
The Dark Dragoon Spirit chose Rose and it is the only Dragoon Spirit that never chooses a second Dragoon during the events of the game. Dark Dragoon Magic has more types of special effects than any other, besides the Light Dragoon Magic, for a total of three. This reflects Rose's role as a warrior master eventually surpassed by her protégés. Her final Dragon spell does only damage.
Rose's Dark elemental weapon is the Shadow Cutter.

Thunder[]
Thunder is not strong against any other element, but also has no opposing element. Thunder does resist itself. Thunder, like all elements, is weak to No Element (Unbased).
Haschel's Dragoon Magic targets only single enemies. Unsurprisingly, his third magic, Thunder God, is tied with Dart's for the highest damage to cost ratio on a single target.
Haschel's elemental weapon is the Thunder Fist.

Water[]
Water is strong against Fire and vice versa. Water also resists itself. Water, like all elements, is also weak to No Element (Unbased).
Meru's Dragoon Magic has the highest damage spell targeting all enemies, outside of final attacks. Her Rainbow Breath is a frugal alternative for healing allies, acting as a Healing Breeze to Shana's Gates of Heaven, the equivalent of a Healing Rain. There are very few enemies, out of all the monsters in the game, that are weak to Meru's Water element. However, Diamond Dust makes up for it with its 50% All damage for 30 MP.
Meru has no elemental weapon.

Earth[]
Earth is strong against Wind and vice versa. Earth also resists itself. Earth, like all elements, is also weak to No Element (Unbased).
Kongol only has three Dragoon Magic spells where everyone else has four, and they each target all enemies on the field.
Kongol has no elemental weapon.

No Element (Unbased)[]
No Element (also referred to as Unbased in some item descriptions) is strong against all other elements, and does not resist itself. It is also not weak to any element.
The Unbased Dragoon Spirit is the Divine Dragoon. It has the fewest spells of all, but they are very powerful. This is offset by their high MP cost.
There are only two No Element magical attack items: the Psychedelic Bomb and its Repeat Item variant, Psychedelic Bomb X.
There is no Unbased elemental weapon.

- Main article: Element Dimension
Element Dimension proper appears when using "Special" command. Unlike Dragon Summon, Special has 8 types of Dimensions and grants advantages for the Dragoon who unleashed the special; Dragoon magic and physical power increased by 50% and he/she will have completed dragoon additions without using the "Dragoon Dial".
Element Dimension effects appear when using Dragon Summon Magic, one for each of the Dragons summoned by the final Dragoon Magic. This is only a visual effect and has no effect on damage.
