Okay now I would like you to focus your attention to the GIF above. LP doesn't provide total protection from ground AoE skills when those skills are casted right outside the furthest edge of LP. If I cast for example '''{{#skill:5372}}''' on the cell right outside of LP, it will still penetrate LP and damage anyone in Conflagration's '''9x9 AoE''' even if you're inside LP. This is the reason why most people think that LP has an "danger" zone because oftentimes they get hit by ground AoE magical skills of MVP even when inside LP's protective cells. You are getting hit by the MVP's skills because it's most likely that they also casted their skills right outside of LP on its "hittable zone". Now it doesn't necessarily have to be 1 cell, it could be 2 cells or 3 cells but depending how huge the AoE of the skills it could still reach and penetrate LP and damage you in return. Even if I casted Conflagration 2 more cells below from the cell that I casted it from the GIF, it will still hit the dummy. A video showcasing its official behavior is documented [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aiqWc6U2Lp8 here].

When placing your LP, it's important to know what's the maximum range you can go for to readjust its positioning. This is important because when you're faced with an MVP and the MVP is in close melee range, you wouldn't want to move and lure it further to your LP since you'll need space between you and him so you can set-up your insignias while he's outside of LP. Now, LP has a '''3 cells range''' from the position you're standing from. Going above 3 cells will make you move and lose your position. Be consciously aware of this as this will help you, especially once insignias are taken into consideration. More info will be discussed regarding LP's behavior in correlation with insignias in this [[The_Complete_Elemental_Master_Guide_by_Goldie#Land_Protector_&_Insignia_Interaction|section]].

Depending on which Elementals are summoned, each of their AoE skills are boosted in damage in correspondence to their respective elements. A summoned '''Lvl. 2''' '''{{#skill:2458}}''' in '''Lvl. 1 {{#skill:2456}}''' ('''Passive Mode''') would endow its summoner's '''{{#skill:2449}}''' skill with the <span style="color:blue;">Water</span> property, as well as boosting the damage output of '''{{#skill:2447}}''' and its ''crystallization'' chance which is fitting as the conjurers of Elemental spirit magic. This allowed Sorcerers to share an emotional connection with their Elementals in ways unimaginable and because of this they have developed skills to further enhance their dearest companion's capabilities with the skill '''{{#skill:2463}}''' that enhanced the Elemental's survivability in battle. Sorcerers have since then developed new skills too in their kit—one that is shared between them and their Elementals. This introduced the complex [[The_Complete_Elemental_Master_Guide_by_Goldie#Insignia_System|Insignia system]] ( <span style="color:red;">'''{{#skill:2465}}'''</span>, <span style="color:blue;">'''{{#skill:2466}}'''</span>, <span style="color:green;">'''{{#skill:2467}}'''</span>, & <span style="color:brown;">'''{{#skill:2468}}'''</span>) that grants varying effects to anybody standing within its AoE.

* I honestly don't know why Gravity gave the class even more mobility, but I guess this is them playing favorites. Unlike our cousins the Arch Mages, we now have more mobility which makes farming easier and faster. It's not as good as a Taekwon's '''{{#skill:426}}''' skill or a Knight's '''{{#skill:1001}}''' skill since it has a bit of cooldown and a 9 cells range, but in places like [[Varmundt%27s_Biosphere_Depth|Depth Biosphere]] or [[Varmundt%27s_Biosphere_Depth_2|Depth Abyss 2]] where teleportation is disabled, this skill is very useful.

The elemental insignias are also divided into 3 Levels, each of which gives different buffs and debuffs. '''Level 1s''' are typically used to "debuff" the MVP standing on its AoE. '''Level 2s''' are for physical-oriented classes where they can stand on it to benefit from its "buffing effect" but that doesn't necessarily mean it can't be placed underneath the MVP too so you can maximize its "buffing effect" on you and its  "debuffing effect"  on the MVP (we'll talk more about what this as we push through). '''Level 3s''' are for the magic-oriented classes and just like Level 2s, it can be placed both on you and the MVP to full capitalize on the insignia's "buffing and debuffing effects."  

Insignias can be overlapped with one another and I mean all 4 of them. When you want to benefit from all effects of the insignias, you must be standing at least in one of the 3 cells available. It doesn't matter which cells you stand on so long as you and the MVP are within its AoE. Depending how far apart the MVP away from you, it's ideal you place the insignias you wanna use to purely debuff the MVP underneath him. If you plan to use an insignia both offensively and defensively, you can place it in the middle between you and the MVP so that way you are debuffing him and at the same time buffing yourself. Remember that some insignias give good effects for you too (i.e. '''Lvl. 3''' '''<span style="color:brown;">{{#skill:2468}}</span>''' can give you +50 '''MDef''' and +25% <span style="color:brown;">Earth</span> property magical damage like in the image above).  

In the image above, 11x11 LP despite adjusting the placement of LP 3 cells below you, the MVP is still inside the AoE of your 11x11 LP which makes it impossible for you to put your insignias underneath the MVP. Meanwhile for the 9x9 LP after readjusting the LP 3 cells below you, the MVP is ''still'' inside LP's AoE and you still can't place your insignias underneath the MVP. Now look on the 7x7 LP, after readjusting the LP 3 cells below you the MVP is now outside of LP and finally you can safely place your insignias, but this is the maximum limit you can go for and one wrong estimation and adjustment of your LP can determine the fate of you and your Spirit.
