During Dynasty Warrior character's EX, ALL movesets during the activation of EX will contain elements. Persistent Normal Magic (NM) and Charge Magic (CM) effects like Nectar NM, Caduceus NM, Brisingamen NM, Lævateinn CM, Trident CM and even Musou variants, etc. will all contain element activation if it is simultaneously existing during an EX attack that is currently activating element(s).
- In the beginning of the video, Cai Wenji, Jia Chong and Guo Jia's weapon are shown and does not contain Almighty:
∙ Nectar NM contains elements during the frames where Cai Wenji's C1-EX activates elements
∙ Jia Chong's C1 blades does not contain elements until he throws out the EX blades, where all blades will start to have activation during his EX frames
∙ Guo Jia's Musou and Air Musou can both contain elements with C3-EX or C5-EX
- More examples (not shown in video):
∙ Zhao Yun can activate elements on Caduceus NM if he performs NM-C1-EX in succession (6:1 activation)
∙ Similar to Jia Chong, Li Dian's C6 discs does not contain elements until the performs EX where all of his rolling discs will start carrying elements
∙ Lu Meng can activate elements on Lævateinn CM if he performs CM-C1-EX in succession
∙ Ding Feng's Air Musou can contain elements with C1-EX
∙ This is just a part of the reason why Trident CM is broken, especially on DW characters since their elemental activation will skyrocket to ridiculous consistent levels during their EX phase.
This only works during the frames where their EX is currently activating elements. So for some cases like Yuan Shao and Wang Yuanji's C1-EX, they do not activate elements until Yuan Shao actually pokes with his rapier or when Wang Yuanji actually flings her throwing knives.
This will work as long as the character can activate elements on their EX. So this will not work for Cao Cao's C4-EX, which contains no elemental activation.
