The Axiom Bracelet grants Kliff elemental abilities that add tactical depth to combat. Fire, ice, and lightning can be infused into attacks for unique effects that go beyond simple damage increases.
Fire
Fire infusions cause attacks to incinerate and explode. Fire arrows explode on impact, dealing area damage and potentially hitting multiple enemies.
Fire effects are useful for dealing with groups or adding burst damage to single targets.
Ice/Frost
Ice-enhanced strikes can freeze enemies solid, creating opportunities for devastating follow-up attacks. An ice-enhanced blade freeze foes long enough for shattering blows.
Ice can also be combined with other abilities - using ice with palm attacks can boost Kliff into the air, adding traversal utility to the elemental system.
Lightning
Lightning paralysis foes and disrupts shields, making it effective against defensive enemies. The stun effect creates openings for combo attacks.
Lightning's shield-breaking property may be essential against certain armored enemies or bosses.
Elemental Selection
The D-Pad is used to select elemental types for Palm Attacks, allowing players to switch between elements based on the tactical situation.
Mastering when to use each element against different enemy types is part of combat mastery in Crimson Desert.
