elements and enemy weaknesses

[Taipan20]

i wish there was a more clearer or easier way to tell which enemies are weak to what element. cos you just have to guess each time you find a new enemy or by testing each element out 3 times on the same enemy.

so you want the game even easier?

I haven't played too far into the game yet, but so far I've noticed that the enemy colors tend to communicate their elements.
Green/ brown = earth, weak to fire
Blue = water, weak to lightning
Orange/ red = fire, weak to water
white/ gray = dark, weak to light
Only a partial list so far, as time goes on I'm sure we'll get a more complete list.

Not all of them have an element weakness. The gargoyles and trolls don't seem to have any.

Some Enemys (Stone?) semm to have no elemental weaknes and are resistant to Physical attack, but in my experiance they ate weak to Magick. (I use Aurora and Finn aginst those stone-Archer in the floating city.)

This. If you see an enemy who's on fire, they're weak to water. If they're clearly an aquatic animal, surprise, they're weak to lightning. Otherwise, they're generally going to have a weakness to fire (lots of early-game enemies, anything that looks wooden or earthy) or to light (things that look sinister and dark, mostly).

The only confusing thing is determining which are earth and neutral (neutral are more sensitive to physical attacks) animals, and which are water and lightning animals.
