Tips and Details

As the passive requires you to trigger an El's Resonance skill, you must be awakened to gain either of the buffs.
- Due to the relatively short duration of the El's Resonance - Destruction buff, it can be helpful to take a cheap Tenacity-tier Destruction skill with you to keep the buff stacked in normal dungeons. Luckily, all 3 skills that qualify come with the Light trait, so it merely comes down to preference: Mega Slash does the most damage and has the lowest cooldown, Dominion can be helpful for its elemental resist debuff when in a party, and Holy Sword gives you more range to help activate Sword of the El.
Following the Tenacity skills from Resonance, the skills caused by this passive count as Strength tier skills.
Neither skill deals any hitstun.
Due to the long travel range of El's Cycle and wide spread of the fragments created by El's Rage, only large enough enemies can be fully hit by either effect. You are capable of keeping an enemy inside of El's Cycle by manually pushing them along with other skills and attacks however.
- On average, enemies will be hit around 7~8 times by El's Cycle, and only 1 of the fragments from El's Rage.
- The fragments from El's Rage that appear behind you are closer together than those in front of you, making it easier to hit with multiple of them on enemies behind you.
You specifically have to be on a skill's respective Way of the Sword mode for it to trigger this passive. For example, casting Sword Trace while in Vitality mode will not work.

Trivia

The Training Room skill damage overview show's both El's Cycle and El's Rage separately as they are their own individual skills. The icon used for them is the skill icon for this passive.
