You can debate about some topics in Prodigy math. Iāll start off with one:
Harmony has stated if one element was stronger than the rest, then the world would end. Water was arguably the weakest element, being weak against three (four if counting the weakness to itself) elements (storm, plant, and shadow). However, fire was debatably the strongest, being powerful against two elements (ice and plant) and being weak only to water and shadow. Does the world end? Which element is the āmost powerful?ā

Water is supposed to be the least powerful? Huh. Doesnāt make a ton of sense.
What update is this?

Well, my response to this, is now each element only has one weakness, and one strength, balancing it out.

this was in the 2018 - 2023 battle remake. i donāt think water was intended to be the weakest, but itās debatably the weakest (at least back then)

Okay. Well, then, yes, the world shouldāve ended, and this is all an illusion, and everyone is dead.

But would it really have? Remember there were potions to give you certain advantages and disadvantages, along with healing items and arena ones as well, so was the world really EVER in balance? Also, 
Shadow was strong against every single element except Astral, while 
Astral didnāt have a weakness at all. Itāsāastounding.
Just saying, itās pretty controversial, although it makes complete sense.

What trust level are you?
If youāre a trust-1, I think you should be able to, unless you were silenced somehow. Also, there have been some major changes as with trust level posting, and Iāll have to look into it.

Oh well, then yes, it wouldāve definitely been unbalanced.
I mean, thatās kind of nonsense to be saying in the game when you literally had weaknesses in the game. It didnāt make sense.
It seemed like a bad attempt to have some lore, honestly.

A post was merged into an existing topic: 
Welcome to the Prodigy Group!
Moved Quackās post because it was off-topic for this topic.
The new stuff they did to prodigy math honestly was my last straw. (I had a lot of straws, okay)

ok very late response, BUT the elemental weaknesses and stuff do make sense. for example, the earth absorbs water (to a certain extent, at least), storm being weak to earth is because that the earth itself is not a good conductor, water being a good conductor of electricity, iceās cold temperatures freeze the earth, etc
one thing i would like to talk about is ice being weak to fire. back during covid when me and my brother loved prodigy and we were bored, we had a small debate over whether or not ice should be weak against fire. i argued that it should be neutral to fire because ice melts and turns into water, but now i realize that ice wouldnāt be in ice form if that were to happen. what are your thoughts on it though?
edit: just clarifying, earth is not a good conductor of electricity but is great for conducting heat, and houses are too

Truthfully, it made more sense when Plant was weak to Fireā¦
Because wildfires are a very real thing.
The only thing I didnāt get with the old system is why 
Plant was strong to 
Waterā¦
Because plants rot when they get too much water, and if thereās a flood, most plants wonāt survive (besides kelp and seaweed [which may be the same thing], which are underwater plants, so they donāt count).
Unless theyāre really thirsty, that is, LOL
