 *Likewise for '''The Immortal Instance''', both you and <span style="color:#bd0f1e;">Ardor</span> will survive Lasgand's '''{{#skill:83}}s''', and in the event you get hit by his '''{{#skill:91}}''' skill, <span style="color:red;">Fire</span> has innate resistance against <span style="color:brown;">Earth</span> property damage. More info on the [[Elements#Elemental_Attribute_Table|elemental table]].
 *With <span style="color:#BD0F1E;">Ardor</span>'s defensive buffs and your own '''{{#skill:288}}''', you can finish both Easy and Hard Mode of The Immortal without ever depending on a {{#item:4128}} like most classes just to clear Hard Mode effortlessly. Simply put, <span style="color:#BD0F1E;">Ardor</span> is tailor-fit for this instance hands down.

 *In Depth 2 and Forgotten Time, all the mobs, with the exception of the Valkyrie and the Contaminated Spirits, are made up of <span style="color:red;">Fire</span>, <span style="color:blue;">Water</span>, <span style="color:green;">Wind</span>, and <span style="color:brown;">Earth</span> properties and if you still remember from the previous section we've talked about—<span style="color:purple;">Poison</span> is strong against the four (4) basic elements. Levels 1 & 2 monsters of these elements take '''150% damage''' against <span style="color:purple;">Poison</span> while Levels 3 & 4 mobs receive '''125% damage'''. <span style="color:purple;">Serpens</span> is perfect for these two dungeons.

 * In a party composition where you will benefit from all kinds of buffs, <span style="color:brown;">Earth</span> proves to be the strongest element to choose from. The Arch Mage class will act as a dedicated debuffer via their skill '''Level 4''' '''{{#skill:5232}}''' + '''{{#skill:5218}}''' ('''Climax Earth''') to reduce the affected enemies' <span style="color:brown;">Earth</span> resistance by 100%. <span style="color:blue;">Water</span> element doesn't get such debuffs from the Arch Mage, but <span style="color:red;">Fire</span> will get some via '''Level 4''' '''{{#skill:5232}}''' + '''{{#skill:5222}}''' ('''Climax Bloom'''), which will reduce the opponents' <span style="color:red;">Fire</span> element resistance by 100%. Combine all these debuffs with your own elemental insignias and you will for sure shine the brightest among all the magical classes in your party.
 * Apart from increasing the base MAtk% of your Terra Drive skill, <span style="color:#966606;">Terremotus</span> will also grant you the ability to endow your '''https://static.divine-pride.net/images/skill/5380.png <span style="background:linear-gradient(to right, #FF3F34 0%, #2C6FBB 25%, #268F15 50%, #B5651D 75%, #800080 100%); -webkit-background-clip:text !important; -webkit-text-fill-color:transparent;">Elemental Buster</span>''' to the <span style="color:brown;">Earth</span> element. Both skills are burst type and their main purpose is to either delete monsters in a single cast or melt them fast enough to end the fight immediately. Elemental Spirits gives you the ability for both skills to coexist at the same time via autocasting, so I would advise you to utilize this advantage.
