You can debate about some topics in Prodigy math. I’ll 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 “most powerful?” ---

Water is supposed to be the least powerful? Huh. Doesn’t 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. ---

we’re talking about the old battle system ~~because it’s better~~ ---

this was in the 2018 - 2023 battle remake. i don’t think water was _intended_ to be the weakest, but it’s debatably the weakest (at least back then) ---

Okay. Well, then, yes, the world should’ve 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: Shadow was strong against every **single** **element** except **Astral** , while :astral: Astral didn’t have a weakness at all. It’s—astounding. 🤔 Just saying, it’s pretty controversial, although it makes complete sense. ---

What trust level are you? If you’re 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 I’ll have to look into it. ---

Oh well, then yes, it would’ve **definitely** been unbalanced. I mean, that’s kind of nonsense to be saying in the game when you literally had weaknesses in the game. It didn’t make sense. It seemed like a bad attempt to have some lore, honestly. ---

The new stuff they did to prodigy math honestly was my last straw. (I had a lot of straws, okay) ---

> [@Forest](#): > > It didn’t make sense. 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, ice’s 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 wouldn’t 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 Fire… Because wildfires are a very real thing. 🔥 🪾 The only thing I didn’t get with the old system is why :plant:Plant was strong to :water:Water… Because plants rot when they get too much water, and if there’s a flood, most plants won’t survive (besides kelp and seaweed [which may be the same thing], which are underwater plants, so they don’t count). 😵 Unless they’re really thirsty, that is, LOL
