This is the most Helldivers 2 part for me. Spells being intentionally tricky to execute, combined with accidental element interactions and "friendly fire."
Thank you! I haven’t played in probably more than ten years. Makes me want to fire it up for old times sake!
Water, Life, Arcane, Shield, Lightning, Cold, Fire, and Earth. [0] It's worth noting that, though you can combine most of the elements to form new spells (and with compounding effects, for example wetting or steaming an enemy enhances lightning damage), you cannot typically combine opposites like lightning/ground, which will instead cancel out. Killed myself many times trying to cast lightning spells while sopping wet.
In my experience, though, nobody used the element names—my friends and I just referred to them by their keybinds. QFASA, anyone?
