The Elements or Prime (精霊, Seirei, lit. "spirits") are a recurring type of demons in the series. They are named as such due to their being representations of the four elements; Earth, Fire, Wind and Water. Several titles divide them between high-level and low-level elementals.
Elements are usually created by fusing 2 demons of the same race (except for some "high-tier" races, Element or Mitama.) Fusing two different Elements will give a Mitama instead, or simply impossible in some early installments.
Element demons generally does not stand out as combatants, they are more often used in the demon fusion that the other demon fuses with it will always result the next higher or lower level demon of the same race. This helps player to complete the Demonic Compendium more efficiently without fiddling with the fusion chart.
Element Order is a classification of Demon. They appear in 4 different Training Halls in different parts of the capital but cannot be recruited, instead Raidou must fuse them. Like other games fusing Elements together create Mitamas. They tend to drop gemstones or give them as gifts. Elements have no skills that can be used on the field.
