Title: what is EPA? I don't get it.

What exactly does EPA mean?
I've seen it used many times, but have no clue what the terminology is.

Now on to my post before I realized he was a bot:

Elemental Physical Attack (EPA)

An attack that takes both the Attack value (Atk - Def) and the Elemental value (Pow - Res)
I think.

Fox answered your question, but Ragnarok, Astral Blast, Planetary, and Diamond Berg are all examples of EPAs.

The term is kinda dumb but we didn't invent it.

Well.  Do you have any better names for it?

I'd just call it a physical attack and then specify which element it aligns with. That way it can include Wild Wolf & Orc, and can be differentiated from standard attacks by just calling them standard attacks.
