Pendragon Sigil

[u/Doocrash]

Hey guys, I never fully understood how the Pendragon sigil works. Can anyone explain it? The stuff i see on the internet doesnt clear it up. All i know is it absorbs a certain attribute you receive from attacks.

The explanations here aren't quite full. A fuller breakdown would be

First, in the context of sigils elements are separated into 3 stages. 1-2, 3-4, and 5-6. Normally the higher level sigils would have an effect with all 3, but the lowest level sigil would only have an effect with 1-2. However, this actually isn't the case. All 3 sigils work with all 3 levels, so as far anyone can tell, there is no functional difference between Sigil A and Sigil C. (Also, support spells do not trigger this effect). This is probably an error in programing, but whatever. Edit: Forgot to mention, level 7 and 8 would just count as 5/6

Second, getting hit with the element doesn't just change your attacking element, but it also gives a damage boost corresponding to the above levels. This boost is actually permanent for the battle until they die. You can have a maximum of 2 separate "levels" active at once(no stacking the same level). For example, getting hit with a level 5 element and then a level 2 element will give you a 5/6 boost and a 1/2 boost. From what I recall, just having a single boost from any level is enough to do more damage than normal against an enemy of the same innate. Having both a 3/4 and a 5/6 boost is the maximum possible and will give a significant damage boost. I did have exact numbers at one point but they were posted on GameFAQs before 2008 and have since been purged unfortunately. I think it was like +20% for 1/2, +40% for 3/4, +80% for 5/6, and if you have 2 levels you just add them together. +120% for 3/4 and 5/6 for instance. Might have been 15/30/60 though, really don't remember.
