No wonder the fire nation almost conquered the world.

I always feel like game developers really miss out on making frost/cold being as nice as it can be.

Orbs of lighting seems to do its best to miss every shot by an inch.

lightning looks the coolest

it's fire, you're welcome

fire : who needs cc if there's no crowd to control

After you go into the air with wind you can still do x3 force palm

You're missing the key ingredient for lightning surge to work effectively, and that is the kuku lightning resistance armor chest with enough lighting wards or other armor pieces that has lightning resistance to maximize your lightning resistance can nullify the ability of the surge from harming you and infact charge your kuku armor to reflect damage to any incoming attacks

Lightning is my personal favorite aesthetically. I just love lightning visual and sound effects.
I hope they could add status effects related to elements. Lightning builds up paralysis or stun for a short duration; Fire builds up burn to cause DOT, and so on

They should expand massively on elements with diferente weapons and make it multiple combinations to make many builds

one thing you forgot to mention is that all the different characters have different spells when using the elements... the ice one is the same for everyone but damiane gets basically chain lightning for her lightning ability and her wind ability pushes enemies into the air instead of the smoke bomb kliff has(hers isn't as good as kliff's obviously)... but her lightning ability is better than kliffs... still doesn't do alot of damage though...

They should add a Wizard playable character

Imagine not knowing about these elements it’s like people are playing like a normal human

shadow claw, crows pursuit, volcanic eruption, flames of judgement

You forgot to mention that Damiane and Oongka has different varients of the quick casting spells.

They need to buff lightning, ice, and wind

Lightning by itself for Kliff should be made a little wider in its range to be effective, or similar to Ice Mantle when hit, the enemy will be briefly stunned/shocked if in the effected range during their attack

I believe most players will eventually find it because one of the main quest bosses drop an abyss gear which requires imbue element. Then you're forced to search upon it unless your curiosity is dead

Try using lighting on Oongka.
You'll need to remake this whole tier list

Imagine instead of those little orbs they gave us ludvigs giant lightning sword...
I'm a sucker for lightning magic, sad to see its so weak in this game.
