1. Critical Hit
The first one is the critical hit. It's also the best because everytime you crit, it does 4 times the damage of normal melee!

Symbol:Cracked/Fractured skull
Weapons to cause: Any weapon with a skull under it's stats
Ways to Cause: None, without weapon. (Physical-Damage magic can cause crits too if you are holding a crit weapon.)
Effects: 4x melee damage.
2. Ice
Symbol: Ice Chunk
Weapons to Cause: Glacius (What I call the Ice sword)
How to get: Dig up in Ice Castle
Ways to Cause: Blue Knight's Elemental Infusion, Iceskimo's Elemental Infusion (X X X Y or D D D W)
Effects: Freezes enemy
3. Poison and Fire
Symbol: Flame (fire) Green Bubble (Poison)
Weapons to Cause: Dinner Fork (poison) Candlestick and Demon Sword (fire)
Ways to Cause: Fire Demon and Orange Knight's Elemental Infusion (fire.) Green Knight's Elemental Infusion (poison)
Fire is better because more enemies are weak to it, but it's a shorter DoT. Poison is a longer DoT, but more enemies are resistant to it.
Effects: Catches enemy on fire (fire.) Drenches enemies in poison (Poison)
4. Lightning (Shock)
Symbol: Lightining
Weapons to Cause: Electric Eel, lightsaber, Cow Prodder (maybe)
Ways to cause: Red Knight's Elemental Infusion.
Effects: Does absolutely nothing, but lots of enemies weak to it.

Only effect with no side effects, but many enemies are weak against it.
Summary
Well, that's it for now. If I was wrong in one of these, tell me in the comments. Other than that, thank you for reading this guide!

If you hit a Fire Demon with an Ice Strike, a Troll with a Fire Strike, Corn Boss with a Lightning Strike, or a Slime with an Acid Strike, you'll deal 50-55 damage.

When you hit a cultist with an elemental weapon and get an elemental strike, the hit will do one damage, regardless of your strength stat.

Also, Morgan, Red Knight's splash attack is the only useful thing in the game derived from lightning. Red Knight's X X X Y combo and projectile have no inherent ability, nor does the effect on weapons. Did you Know that Scarabs, Fencers, and Stovefaces resist lightning? Those are literally the LAST three characters you'd want resisting your magic. Fire Demons also resist lightning somewhat, but not to the same degree. Cultists completely resist all elements, but that hits Red Knight especially hard, because he can't move while casting splash magic, and everything else has little or no effect.

Wait nevermind, it's kind of about characters, but C'thun told me originally it was going to be about weapon effects.
On a side note, Saracen and Bear can critical hit with their tornadoes, and Pink Knight with his stuffed animals. The tornadoes make sense with the damage being based off of your strength stat (most of the time,) but the stuffed animals puzzle me to this day.

Morgan, you dumbsack, this is about special weapon effects, not characters. Even if it was about characters, Red Knight really fucking sucks compared to characters like Fencer, Industrialist, Fire Denon, Iceskimo, Brute, Snakey, and Blue Knight. In fact, Blue Knight is the single best crowd controller in the game, and he sure as hell isn't as overrated as Red Knight. I'm willing to bet my life savings you haven't played as every character, let alone unlock every character. If that's true, then telling whether a character or their magic really isn't your place.

lightning is VERY EFFECTIVE against a lot of enemies with lots of mana and lots of magic dmg this is a VERY good thing to have.
