The Elementals and High Elementals are part of an Elemental Master's vast skill kit. They give offensive, defensive, and passive buffs to the summoner on which mode they are activated. Upon a successful summoning of your companion spirits, you have the option to place them in either Passive mode, Defensive mode, or Offensive mode. Each of these modes have uses that are essential in what makes Elemental Master a versatile class.

'''Passive mode''' for the most part is used to buff an EM's offensive capabilities outside of its own summons. Meaning this is usually a direct buff to the summoner and not to the spirits themselves though sometimes both can benefit from it <u>since your spirit's stats completely depend on their master's own stats</u>. Also starting from the Sorcerer to Elemental Master, all of your spirits' Passive mode caters to '''{{#skill:2449}}''' '''{{#skill:2445}}''' builds and thus finds very little use when focusing on 4th job skills of EM.

The only instance we could think of that it still complements 4th job skills is <span style="color:purple;">Serpens</span> on Passive mode. <span style="color:purple;">Serpens</span> will increase your 3rd job skill '''{{#skill:2450}}''' by 1500% which if you're focusing on a <span style="color:purple;">Poison</span>-centric build will be beneficial for you. Or when you're still incorporating Psychic Wave into your skill rotation cycle since its elemental property can be endowed according to the element of your currently summoned Elemental or High Elemental.


On the other hand, '''Defensive mode''' like Passive mode is also used to buff an EM's defensive capabilities. Spirits would endow an EM's armor property to their corresponding element. If for example you have Ardor summoned and you placed him in the Defensive mode, he will change your armor property to Fire and you'll get decreased damaged against Fire property attacks but reduced resistance for the opposing element which is Water.
