Elemental Plots are more than just skill trees. They show how your characters grow and master different elemental powers. As you play, unlocking new nodes in the Elemental Plot clearly shows your party getting stronger and more flexible.

Elemental Plot expansion items, known as tonics come in three tiers:

  • The first tonic unlocks nodes 5-7 in the Elemental Plot
  • The second tonic unlocks nodes 8-9
  • The final tonic unlocks nodes 10-11

Each character has their own unique set of tonics. Using a tonic unlocks the corresponding nodes for all of a character’s classes, not just the currently equipped one.

How to Get Elemental Plot Expansion Items

Most tonics are obtained through story progression, typically as rewards for defeating major bosses. Here’s a breakdown of where to find each character’s tonics:

Once you’ve obtained a tonic, using it is straightforward. Simply access the character menu and apply the tonic to unlock the next set of nodes across all classes. This allows for greater customization and power for your party members.

To make the most of your newly unlocked skills, keep these tips in mind:

  1. Experiment with different classes: Each class has unique abilities that can synergize well with others.
  2. Use Elemental Points wisely: These points are used to unlock skills within the Elemental Plot. Prioritize skills that complement your playstyle.
  3. Switch classes on the fly: Remember, you can switch classes mid-battle by pressing R2 in the character menu.

The final set of tonics for each character becomes available only after completing the main story. Once Chapter 11 is unlocked, visit any Grizzly Exchange to purchase these tonics. They cost 20 Grizzly Syrup each, a relatively small price for the powerful abilities they unlock.

To sum up, mastering the Elemental Plot system and getting all the expansion items is essential for maximizing your party’s potential in Visions of Mana. While most tonics come naturally as you progress, knowing when and where to find them helps you make the most of your characters’ skills. Good luck!
