Are There Advantages and Weaknesses?
There Are Only Elemental Weaknesses
Enemies have Resistance to five different Elements, and their weakness is the Element they have low Resistance to. Therefore, fighting with characters who have Originium Arts that exploit these weaknesses will allow you to defeat enemies more efficiently.
| Note! | In Arknights: Endfield, Elements are referred to as "Originium Arts." |

How to Check Enemy Weaknesses
Enemy weaknesses can be viewed in-game by going to "Database -> Threat Files". If you encounter an enemy that is difficult to defeat, review your team composition to ensure you can exploit its weaknesses.
How to Exploit Enemy Weakness
Match Arts Infliction with Weakness
By applying Arts Infliction to enemies, you can trigger Arts Bursts or Arts Reactions. Both of these deal Arts DMG which exploit the enemy's weakness, so actively try to trigger them.
Trigger Arts Bursts
Applying the same Arts Infliction to an enemy that is already affected by it will cause an Arts Burst. This deals Arts DMG upon explosion, making it a recommended way to exploit enemy weaknesses.
Utilize Different Arts for Arts Reactions
By applying two different types of Arts Inflictions, Arts Reactions can occur, causing additional effects on top of the Arts DMG. When aiming for an Arts Reaction, be sure to include characters in your team who can apply different Arts Inflictions.
Arts Reactions and Physical Status Effects
Apply the Desired Originium Arts Second
| Arts Infliction 1 | Arts Infliction 2 | Arts Reaction | Additional Effect |
    Any except Heat |  Heat |  Combustion | Damage over time |
   Any except Electric |  Electric |  Electrification | Increases Arts DMG taken by the enemy |
   Any except Cryo |  Cryo |  Solidification | Unable to act Applying Vulnerable or Physical Status will cause "Shatter," dealing additional Physical DMG |
   Any except Nature |  Nature |  Corrosion | All Resistances gradually decrease |
The effect of an Arts Reaction is determined by the Originium Arts that was applied second, so make sure to apply the one you want to trigger last. Causing an Arts Reaction that matches the enemy's weakness will give you an advantage in battle.
What are Originium Arts?
Elemental Damage System
Originium Arts is the system that corresponds to what are commonly known as "Elements." There are five types of Originium Arts: Physical, Heat, Electric, Cryo, and Nature. Hitting an enemy with an attack that has an Arts Infliction effect will apply the corresponding Originium Arts to them.
Only Some Skills Apply Arts Inflictions
Arts Inflictions are only applied with certain moves. It can only be applied by attacks like Battle Skills and Combo Skills, as stated in their descriptions. Be sure to check each skill's description to see if it can apply Arts Inflictions.
