[hr][/hr][h2]Weaving a New “Do” with the Elements[/h2]

▲ The Five Elements, which form the very essence of the universe

[h3][color]Fire (火)[/color] - [color]Wood (木)[/color] - [color]Water (水)[/color] - [color]Metal (金)[/color] - [color]Earth (土)[/color][/h3]

[h3]The Awakened Do wielder, enlightened to the Five Elements, wields the
Enlightened Blade as his weapon, which aids and amplifies the generation of
elemental energy, allowing him to freely command them on the battlefield.[/h3]
[hr][/hr]
▲ Using Fire: Spread leaves the energy of Fire on the field.


[hr][/hr]
▲ Wood: Bend on lingering energy of Fire activates the Generative effect.


[hr][/hr]

[h3][color]Tip![/color][/h3]
When you wield the elemental powers of the Five Elements, a mark representing each element's color will appear on the field.
Moreover, as you combine these elemental skills, you can activate the mighty generative effects, marked by the elements themselves.
Harness the synergy between the Five Elements and their generative powers to transform into a true Awakening Do wielder!
