Weakness

Purpose:

2x to weak state enemy only applied to neighboring elements of the attacker that triggers the weak state.

How to Trigger:

1. When a character uses an elemental attack, you'll need to check if the target is weak to that element 2. If the enemy has that weakness, you trigger the weak state and visually indicate it (through animations or icons).

Visual Feedback:

Show a weakened enemy by changing their color, flashing weak icons, or showing damage modifiers visually during attacks.

Durations:

The weak state lasts for 2 character turns

Additional Mechanic:

Element attack can interrupt boss' ultimate attack in the next turn, if the boss target is weak to the attacker elements
