AIRS are unique among the elementals, in that they lack Absorb in favor of very high Evade. You can use magic against them, but they have no elemental weakness and their HP total is too high for this to be very effective. They don't hit too hard individually, but groups can wear down a party. Inexplicably, they are the only elemental you can run from. (How do you run from air?)

They may be smaller than their EARTH and FIRE cousins, but WATERS are not to be trifled with. They are the only enemies in the Sunken Shrine with a vulnerability to Cold, so it may be worth blasting them with ICE2 or ICE3. Like the other elementals you've encountered, you cannot run from them.

EARTHS are incredibly dangerous when you meet them in the Earth Cave, but fortunately most of them are avoidable Treasure guardians. Their attacks will do a number even on a FIGHTER, and they rarely miss. Spells are generally ineffective, although FIR2 and FIR3 can push some damage through.

FIRES are similar to EARTHS, though they can appear in pairs in Gurgu Volcano. ICE2 is recommended in these cases. Otherwise, hunker down for a brawl and be ready to use some HEAL Potions afterwards.

Aeroses are unique among the elementals, in that they lack Defense in favor of very high Evasion (as one might expect of, well, air). You can use magic against them, but they have no elemental weakness and their HP total is high enough that this won't do much aside from soften them up. They don't hit terribly hard, but they appear in groups and can be a threat. Inexplicably, they are the only elemental you can run from. (How do you run from air?) They're worth plenty of experience, though, so it's usually a good idea to fight.
