elemental weaknesses

[Icedfate]

just started playing, got through the tutorial.
so, fire > air > lightning > earth > water > fire.

am I the only one who thinks lightning and earth should have been switched?
i dunno their logic, but usually earth "grounds" electricity and electricity is "conducted" through water.

dunno. I do know this is a port of a handheld console game, made years ago, so i it's not gonna be changed. I just felt like talking. . .

It's pretty weird for sure, though if you think of earth as plantlife it might make a bit more sense that it holds advantage over water.

Confession: I looked a bit through the creature manual, and this is the first time I've realized that enemy elemental stats are actually consistent with the elemental chart presented. That knowledge could, at least, help in figuring out weaknesses faster when you encounter new enemies.

It doesn't make much sense anyway, like the flowers in the second area that are weak against water, or the birds that resist lightning... but it is what it is.
