📋 About This Mod
As suggested by zukane2, here's another QoL change where the monster's 3 ☆ Elemental Weakness is displayed next to their name in Investigations and Monster Field Guide/Researcher.
Saves you the trouble of browsing the wiki or monster guide's details!
Elemental colors are as follows:
★ - Dragon
★ - Thunder
★ - Water
★ - Fire
★ - Ice
All languages can be found in the optional downloads section.
As of v0. 2, weaknesses are displayed as colored stars thanks to Krillion's suggestion.
If you're interested in these being displayed in the monster icons everywhere instead; see my Monster 3 Star Elemental and Status Ailment Weakness mod.
