That is not true @Guvnor. Slash attacks on defense are not elemental by default, so they are neutral and there is no strong or weak slash attack.

Are you sure?
I thought that defence hero slash attacks took the role of tiles?
Happy to be wrong and will alter above posts if thatās the case.
Itās true, slash attacks donāt do double/half damage against strong/weak element.
But slash attacks still has its element attached, so the damage is affected by elemental defense buffs/debuffs.
It is similar to specials, they donāt do double/weak damage either (unless itās in specialās description) but they can benefit from element buffs/debuffs too

@Guvnor yes, 100% sure.
With the addition of what @Dwimmerlaik said.
After elemental defense down, slash attack becomes elemental and not neutral

Slash damage is non-elemental
But when a hero is under ailment such as -54% defense against nature/green heroes, the slash attack will deal more damage not because the element is nature but because the attacker is nature.
When a hero special contain deal extra damage against fire hero, it is not a status therefore it only apply to the corresponding special skill not other type of attack.
So difference between Athena and Vela is that Athena do extra dmg agains red (more than normal blue against red ratio) & Velas water DOT will inflict more dmg against red in the same way but DOT.
Have I got it right?
Vela deals extra damage to red both, direct damage and also DOT.
