Elemental Paradigm is a Global Exclusive buff applied when conditions of a squad are fulfilled with the use of Omni+ Boost.
Equipping 3 or more same element Omni+ units in the squad will activate Elemental Paradigm which provides additional passive parameters and damage boost effects of increasing effectiveness relative to the number of same element Omni+ units. This will complement the Omni Resonance mechanic and arm players with an additional edge for using mono elemental squads to employ in current and upcoming global content.
Elemental Paradigm is also intended to encourage more unit collection, squad building strategies and optimization. While mixed-elemental squads and specifically rainbow-elemental (due to specific leader skills) are much easier to form and will still be viable for most content, players are encouraged to plan and strengthen their mono-elemental squads as we will be attempting to develop new global content that will cater to such squads.

Important Notes[]
- For the current iteration, Helper/Friend leader units will not contribute to the activation of these effects, nor be able to receive these effects.
- Elemental Paradigm will not work for Summoner’s Arc content. At the moment, it also does not work for Strategy Zone content.
- Effects and values are subject to change.
- The following buff effects are considered active effect types:
- Note that active effects not listed above will not stand to benefit from the increased turn duration, for example:
Example Activation Scenarios[]
- Scenario A
- Player battle squad has 2 Water Omni+1, 2 Water Omni+2, 1 Water Omni (+0) and 1 Water Omni+3 Helper.
- Only Paradigm Level 1 (Water) will activate from this squad setup based on these checks:
- With the exclusion of the Helper unit, there are 4 Omni+ units of the same element (Water), however there are not 3 Omni+2 units, hence the squad is not eligible for Paradigm Level 2.
- Scenario B
- Player battle squad has 4 Dark Omni+3, 1 Dark 7 stars, 1 Thunder Omni+1 Helper.
- No Paradigm will activate here based on these checks
- With the exclusion of the Helper unit, even though there are 4 Dark Omni+3, the 7 stars unit disqualifies the squad from Paradigm activation.
Example[]
Elemental Paradigm is represented by a glow effect on the elemental icon of each unit UI frame in the battle scene. The descriptions of the effects are printed in a new section of the battle status window.
Arena/Colosseum[]
Elemental Paradigm activates for the player squad, but remains inactive for opponents; however, HP bonuses from Omni+ Boost still remain in effect for both players.
