Know Your Enemies and Elemental Destruction Magic Patch

Know Your Element enables compatibility between assets added in Elemental Destruction Magic and the Know Your Enemy resistance and weakness system.

Armor and NPCs with existing KYE traits are modified to interact with water, wind, and earth effects; NPCs added by Elemental Destruction Magic also have KYE traits.

Know Your Element - Know Your Enemy and Elemental Destruction's patch magic was created to extend KYE's excellent, trait-based resistance and vulnerability system to include the additional assets of Elemental Destruction Magic.
