FFR: Elements and Races

This is a small reference for the elements in Final Fantasy Renaissance and enemies weak to them, in particular the new ones that were added.

- With weapons, hitting a weakness will effectively add 4-8 damage per hit after defense. A Spellblade/Rune Fencer will deal double damage on top of this. Hitting a resistance has no effect.
- With damaging magic, hitting a weakness with a spell will increase the spell effectivity by 1.5 times and increase the chance of doubling. Hitting a resistance will instead lower it by half and reduce the chance of doubling to zero.
- With status magic, hitting a weakness will increase the chance of doubling. Hitting a resistance lowers the chance of hitting to zero.
- Status attacks from enemies or the Deathknight's EN-DARK will only hit if the enemy is not resistant to the status.
- Certain enemies can absorb elements in FFR: these are all elemental summons and RubyGOL.
- Poison and Stone were one and the same in vanilla. They've been disentangled in FFR, but only COCTRICE and CARBUNCLE have different resistances.
