Elements are part of Soul's Remnant weapon and build planning. The official Element page says the game currently has seven element types and that each element has an additional effect.

Element Effect Chance controls how often the element's additional effect can trigger. Element Effect Potency controls the strength of those element effects.
Why Elements Matter
Elements are not just visual weapon labels. The official Element page explains that every element has a unique additional effect, and the Weapons page lists element behavior as part of weapon data.
This matters when comparing weapons because a lower raw weapon can still feel better if its element, effect chance, potency, stats and Echoes fit your build.
Build Checklist
When judging an elemental weapon, check:
- weapon damage and scaling;
- element type;
- Element Effect Chance;
- Element Effect Potency;
- Echoes and stat lines;
- upgrade slots;
- whether the element supports your actual combat plan.
Do not assume one element is best for every build. Element value depends on the weapon, skills, pass or dungeon context, and your gear.
