This is a guide to the elements and their strengths and weaknesses.
All elements are resistant to themselves.
All items that can be more then one element (spirit items, modified items, etc) don't get the element's weapons side effects.
Items in the "Other ____ Element items" category don't have elemental properties, but are simply labeled as their respective elements for one reason or another.
