Attributes are special elements that will affected your game play directly. if your weapon's attribute is weak to an enemy's attribute, your damage output will be decreased (game UI will tell you that your attacks was RESISTED) on the opposite if your weapon's attribute is strong to enemy's attribute, your damage output will be slightly increased (game UI will tell you that your enemy is WEAK to your attacks.

So purpose of this guide is to guide you on how efficiently to evolve your weapon to make your game play slightly easier (harder if you prefer hardcore way) since your weapon attribute can be inherited from your materials.

There are 2 major types attributes in Lost Epic which are
1. Elemental Attributes - a type of attribute that give you more/less damage output according to your weapon and enemy's attribute and this guide dedicated to this type of Attribute. there are 4 types of Elemental Attributes which are

• Fire - if materials have this attribute, there will be a text Scorching before its name such as Scorching Tamahagane and if weapons have this attribute, there will be a text Fire before its name such as Fire Falchion except for Touch
  
  
• Ice - if materials have this attribute, there will be a text Chilling before its name such as Chilling Tamahagane and if weapons have this attribute, there will be a text Ice before its name such as Ice Falchion
  
  
• Lightning - if materials have this attribute, there will be a text Electric before its name such as Electric Tamahagane and if weapons have this attribute, there will be a text Lightning before its name such as Lightning Falchion
  
  
• Dark - if materials have this attribute, there will be a text Noxious before its name such as Noxious Tamahagane and if weapons have this attribute, there will be a text Dark before its name such as Dark Falchion

you can distinguish this type of attribute on your materials and weapons easily because this type of attribute will be displayed in white circle with a symbol represented its elemental within

2. Status Aliment Attributes - a type of attribute that give your opponent a status aliment for short amount of time. This guide won't dig deep into this type of attribute since all enemies can be inflicted with status aliment. there are 12 types of status aliments which are

• Burn - Deal damage overtime to your enemies that were inflicted by this status aliment. this status aliment if inflicted to Wriggling Creatures, it can kill them without using special weapon that will be obtained from quest later on. There will be a text Smoldering before material's name and Crimson before weapon's name
  
  
• Freeze - Freeze your enemies for a short amount of time. There will be a text Frosted before material's name and Freezing before weapon's name
  
  
• Paralyze - Paralyze your enemies for a short amount of time (enemies move/attack will get stunned for a split second).There will be a text Numbing before material's name and Paralyzing before weapon's name.Most of Lake Pelgrand's enemies have this status aliment
  
  
• Poison - Deal damage overtime to your enemies that were inflicted by this status aliment (same as burn). There will be a text Toxic before material's name and Poisonous before weapon's name
  
  
• Lull - Make your enemies sleep for a short amount of time but can wake up if you attack them. There will be a text Drowsy before material's name and Hypnotic before weapon's name
  
  
• Blind - Make your enemies blind for a short amount of time (your enemies won't attack you). There will be a text Smoking before material's name and Blinding before weapon's name
  
  
• Confuse - Make your enemies confused for a short amount of time (your enemies now can attack other enemies/FRIENDLY FIRE ON). There will be a text Crazed before material's name and Wild before weapon's name
  
  
• Drain Life - Restore your HP based on your damage output (like 5-10% of damage output). There will be a text Bloodthirsty before material's name and Parched before weapon's name.GOD TIER ATTRIBUTE WITH BOWS cause of RAPID FIRE = fast heal
  
  
• Instant Death - Kill your enemies that inflicted by this status aliment, but it doesn't INSTANT KILL right away when it inflicted in fact you have to wait for 12 seconds for inflicted enemies to die if you don't kill it yourselves. and this status aliment can't be inflicted to Boss monster such as Apostolos,God or even Kill List Enemies (wasted status aliment in my opinion). There will be a text Hateful before material's name and Undertaker before weapon's name
  
  
• Reduce ATK - Reduce your enemies ATK for a short amount of time. There will be a text Intimidating before material's name and Fangbreaker before weapon's name
  
  
• Reduce DEF - Reduce your enemies DEF for a short amount of time. There will be a text Acidic before material's name and Shieldbreaker before weapon's name
  
  
• Reduce DEX - Reduce your enemies DEX for a short amount of time. There will be a text Sticky before material's name and Cursed before weapon's name

when you craft/evolve your weapons, you can get this 2 types of attributes together and can't be 2 same types of attributes so make sure not use same type of attributed materials.
if you use more than 1 materials for same type of attribute, it will randomly select one of them as your main attribute.
i would recommend to use 2 attributed materials from 2 type attributes for 1 weapon and then the rest use non attributed material since it will be guaranteed your weapon's attribute.

Format for attributed weapon's name: Status Aliment -> Elemental -> Weapon's Name eg. Parched Ice Kusanagi

Attributed Materials will be dropped from enemies randomly but we can increase Game Difficulty for more % drop using Anima. How? there are altars that you can adjust Area Difficulty. (you can adjust difficulty for each main area separately) these altars can be found in an area gap between main area (such as Lowborn land, first zone of Underworld, first safe zone of House of Salvation and etc.).



At first you can adjust only 2 difficulty which are -1(easy) and Normal after that you can unlock by using anima from +1 to +10 each difficulty increased that mean your enemies also have more parameters(ATK/DEF/DEX but i'm not sure about status aliment) and also increase rate of attributed materials by 5% for each + so the highest increased rate is 50% (but more anima drain too)



for player who already finished a game with 100% and looking forward to try new game+, after i finished new game+ i also noticed that i got many attributed materials even if i played on normal difficulty so if you still need a perfect weapon, i would recommend to start new game+ right away

I believe that this guide is still in-complete even if i already tested with my second new game+ if you have more information you can comment below this guide, so i can edit this guide according to your useful information

As you can see in this in-completed guide, most of late game (even last boss) main area RESIST to Dark Attribute Weapon and found no enemies that WEAK to Dark Attribute Weapon so i recommend not to use Dark Attribute Materials to craft your main weapon. and i also don't recommend using Lightning Attribute Weapon on Lake Pelgrand Area.
my last recommendation is using Reduce DEF status aliment attribute for Nozoth make your life a lot easier.

*This guide is not contain information about which enemies have which status aliment type attributes so if you have this information, i can edit this guide for those information too
