Fire is the mascot for AA (Theos)
Fire/Lightning was one of the most (if not the most) used combinations in AA
Lightning is the mascot for AO (some Vetex/Tech statement about it being the most likely magic for protagonist) (surprised no one picked water though)
water magic is dead
its not really even a question of stats, people just see lightning, fire, or shadow, and immediately run to one of those
that or metal bc damage
MC is cannonically a lighting savant, whos a Magic/Vit user with a third trait. Obviously, its weapons, because theres no other reason to explain why strength is so bad at dealing with NPC’s other than the fact the the player has no experience using it against NPCS (and by game we get both a gun and knife so…)
