- There are 3 Water-type skills in the skill pool: Bubble (60 Energy physical damage), Surge (80 Energy physical damage), Bubble Beam (100 Energy magic damage), plus Water Ring (0 Energy defensive skill)
- Rich Ground-type skill selection: Heat Sand (80 magic damage), Sand Surge (weather change), Earth and Rock Critical (140 physical damage, cost reduction when hit), Rock Throw (140 physical damage, cost reduction at turn end), Earth Sink (80 physical damage, Physical Defense buff/doubles on counter).
