Element Bond

If you field several Mebulis of the same element, your whole team gets a bond with its own bonus. On top of that come four formation bonuses that depend on how your team is mixed. The Element Bond is a pure combat bonus, it gives no gold.

Where you see it

The display appears from Story 1, chapter 3. The bonus applies before that as well.

On the home screen and the team page your active bonds and formation bonuses show up as chips. Tapping one opens the Element Bond window on the Your team tab. There you see the tier, the next tier and which elements the bond makes your team vulnerable to.
The ? next to it jumps straight into the Codex. It lists all 12 bonds and all 4 formation bonuses, including the ones you still lack Mebulis for. A dashed border marks what you could field right now with your collection.
In battle, small badges show the active bonuses. When another Mebuli team fights you, for example in the arena, you also see its bond.

The Element Bond applies in every battle your team fights: story, Shadow Journey, Elemental Realms, Prism Rift, Endless Tower, dungeons and arena.

Points and tiers

Every Mebuli in the team counts toward its elements:

Mebuli's type	Points
Primary type (first type)	1
Secondary type	½

An element's points decide the tier of its bond:

Points	Tier
from 2	I
from 3	II
from 4	III
5 matching primary types	IV

Half points do not round up: 2.5 points are still Tier I. Tier IV only exists for a pure team of five Mebulis with the same primary type.

At most two bonds are active at the same time, namely the ones with the most points. On a tie, the Codex order decides (Fire first, Steel last).

Example: Two Water Mebulis, one Water/Ice Mebuli such as Molluscule and two Ice Mebulis give 3 points of Water (Swell II) and 2.5 points of Ice (Frost I).

The twelve bonds

Element	Bond	Effect	I	II	III	IV
Fire	Ember	Burn chance	+6 %	+12 %	+18 %	+25 %
Nature	Rootwork	Healing per round (in % of max HP)	0.5 %	1 %	1.5 %	2 %
Electric	Overcharge	Crit chance	+3 %	+6 %	+9 %	+12 %
Flying	Updraft	Dodge	+3 %	+6 %	+9 %	+12 %
Normal	Versatile	ATK, DEF and HP	+1.5 %	+2.5 %	+3.5 %	+5 %
Psychic	Focus	Ult charge	+10 %	+24 %	+34 %	+56 %
Ghost	Veil	Enemy DEF ignored	6 %	12 %	18 %	24 %
Earth	Steadfast	DEF	+6 %	+12 %	+18 %	+24 %
Rock	Bulwark	HP	+4 %	+8 %	+12 %	+16 %
Water	Swell	Damage taken	-2 %	-4 %	-6 %	-8 %
Ice	Frost	Enemy ATK	-2 %	-4 %	-6 %	-8 %
Steel	Temper	Bonus damage from crits	-20 %	-40 %	-60 %	-80 %

What the bonds do exactly

Ember: The chance is added on top of the normal burn chance. It only helps Mebulis that carry Fire themselves.
Rootwork: At the end of every round, each living Mebuli of your team heals. Per battle it heals at most 20 % of its max HP this way.
Overcharge and Updraft: The caps still apply (soft caps: crit 60 %, dodge 35 %).
Focus: Your Mebulis' ult bar fills faster.
Veil: Your team's normal attacks and ultimates ignore part of the enemy's defense.
Swell: Normal attacks and ultimates hit your team for less. On top of that, Swell halves burn and poison damage from Tier I on.
Frost: Enemy normal attacks and ultimates count with less attack against your team.
Temper: Only the extra damage of a crit shrinks. At Tier IV a crit against your team deals ×1.16 instead of ×1.8 damage.

A bond is a trade

You get the bonus, but an enemy with the matching counter element hits a team of identical elements especially hard. Every bond card shows who that is under Weak against. Check the type chart before tough battles.

Formation bonuses

These four bonuses do not depend on one element, but on how your team is mixed:

Bonus	Condition	Effect
Rainbow	5 Mebulis with 5 different primary types	Type counters against your team -20 % (×2.5 becomes ×2, ×4 becomes ×3.2, never below ×1). In exchange no bond is active.
Triad	Three primary types in the team that beat each other in a circle, e.g. Fire beats Nature, Nature beats Water, Water beats Fire	Your team's type advantages get stronger: ×2.5 becomes ×2.8
Dual Nature	All 5 Mebulis have a secondary type	Attacks use half the way from the average to the better type: (avg + max) / 2
Lockstep	All five Mebulis within 3 levels of each other	ATK, DEF and HP +3 %

Rainbow is the safe formation without an element bonus. It switches off every bond, including ones that would only come from secondary types.
Triad does not need a full team, three matching Mebulis are enough.
Dual Nature by example: a Water/Flying Mebuli attacks a Nature target. Water counts ×0.5, Flying ×2.5. Normally the average ×1.5 applies, with Dual Nature it becomes ×2. More under Dual types on the attacker.

Bonds, Triad, Dual Nature and Lockstep combine freely. Only Rainbow and bonds exclude each other.
