Another defensive layer you can incorporate or use is the skill '''{{#skill:5381}}''', which turns your High Elementals transparent making them untargetable. As we've previously stated, this skill is good to have when you have enough points to expend; otherwise you can skip this skill since AoE skills will still damage them. When you're too cheap and would want to save your elemental catalysts, there's also '''{{#skill:2464}}''' that heals your Elementals and High Elementals alike by taking out 10% of your HP/SP. Now, when you use this skill you might want to swap back to your tank gears by then. This is simply because you have fewer HP with your DPS gears for sure and your Spirits have higher MaxHP% than you do. Healing them with Elemental Cure while having low amount of HP will also only heal them by small amounts, whereas if you use switch to your tank gears you have more MaxHP%. The only problem with this is once you've switched to your tank gears, your HP won't be full so to solve that problem bring with you some {{#item:607}}or {{#item:608}} to restore your HP/SP. One other way to heal your spirits passively is by placing them into '''Waiting Mode''' using '''{{#skill:2456}}'''. Remember they are passively recovering 2% HP/SP while in this mode for every 3 seconds. | Another defensive layer you can incorporate or use is the skill '''{{#skill:5381}}''', which turns your High Elementals transparent making them untargetable.

Both the Elementals and High Elementals follow the same equations in calculating their individual stats. Now the question if High Elementals have their own set of equations the answer is nobody knows but the Gravity developers.

Now the question if High Elementals have their own set of equations the answer is nobody knows but the Gravity developers. Information regarding the 4th job spirits is few and so for the meantime while we lack accurate info we'll be following the one above earlier. I could only imagine it being better for the High Elementals if they did have their own equations. As you can see, the formula didn't include the 4th jobs traits such as STA, WIS, RES, & MRES, so if in a turn of events it did somehow included those traits then our High Elementals are supposedly should be tankier than Elementals. Fret not though, because even with those traits your High Elementals are still durable. With the proper set of tank gears, my High Elementals could survive even the hardest hitting skills of MVPs such as Juncea's '''{{#skill:83}}''', Schulang's''' {{#skill:85}}''', Lasgand's '''{{#skill:91}} Heaven's Drive''', Sakray's '''{{#skill:2216}}''', Sorcerer Celia's '''{{#skill:2449}}''', Rune Knight Seyren's '''{{#skill:2006}}''', Temple Biosphere mobs' '''{{#skill:254}}''', the Dark Grand Crosses of the Depth Valkyries from Depth Abyss 2 as well as NPC Earthquakes from the Depth Salamanders. The only thing it can't survive so far is Betelgeuse's '''{{#skill:2217}}''' though they can survive Tiara's, Warlock Katrinn's, and Fenrir's Tetra Vortex. | ||

The insignias are an integral part of an Elemental Master's core gameplay, mechanics, and skill set. They impart offensive and defensive buffs to both the Elemental Master and Spirits, giving them strong advantage in fights against MVPs. They are divided into four (4) skills consisting of '''<span style="color:red;">{{#skill:2465}}</span>''', '''<span style="color:blue;">{{#skill:2466}}</span>''', '''<span style="color:green;">{{#skill:2467}}</span>''', and '''<span style="color:brown;">{{#skill:2468}}</span>''', each of which have three (3) levels that give different effects.

On paper, insignias look complicated to understand but once you've broken down the utility for each one of them, you'll soon realize that they are actually pretty simple to understand. In most situations, insignias can only be realistically used in fights where your enemy only stands in one place such as MVP fights or boss fights. This is where the difficulty curve of the skills scales. Proper placement of insignias are important and knowing where and when to place them. It carefully needs patience, coordination, and setup and has a high skill requirement. | ||
Here, I will be explaining more in-depth the Insignia system and I hope at the end of this section you can finally start incorporating the insignias in your gameplay as an EM. | Here, I will be explaining more in-depth the Insignia system and I hope at the end of this section you can finally start incorporating the insignias in your gameplay as an EM. | ||
