Resonance System

The Resonance System replaces traditional elemental reactions in Silver Palace, and once you understand it, it quietly becomes the spine of every team you build. Instead of triggering one-off combos by colliding two elements, you stack characters that share a Reactor Attribute and unlock escalating passive bonuses the more of them you field. The deeper the stack, the stronger the payoff — culminating in a unique ultimate effect when you go all in on a single attribute.

This guide walks through every Reactor Attribute confirmed in the closed beta, how the 2-, 3-, and 4-stack thresholds change what your team does, which characters slot into which attributes, and the team compositions that actually pull these bonuses together. It pairs naturally with our Elements & Classes guide for the wider combat picture and with the Motives guide, since the gear you equip can add secondary attributes that open up resonance options you would not otherwise have.

Everything below is drawn from Closed Beta Test 1 gameplay, Expo preview footage, and official sources, so a few details are flagged as still unconfirmed rather than stated as fact. The four fully documented attributes and their bonus values were shown during CBT-1; three more — Radiatio, Alba, and Ferrugo — are confirmed to exist but their resonance effects have not yet been revealed.

Correction (2026-07-07): an earlier version of this guide listed a sixth attribute, Aer (Wind), based on early CBT-1 assumptions. Expo preview footage of the official in-game Reactor Attribute list shows seven attributes with no Aer. This guide has been corrected to remove Aer and add the two attributes that footage confirms instead, Alba and Ferrugo.

Quick Answer

Resonance rewards you for stacking characters of the same Reactor Attribute. Two matching characters activate a basic bonus with a stat boost and a minor effect, three characters strengthen those bonuses and add a new effect, and four characters unlock that attribute's signature ultimate. The four active attributes are Ignis (Fire), Glacies (Ice), Gravitas (Gravity), and Fulmen (Lightning), with Radiatio (Light), Alba, and Ferrugo confirmed to exist but not yet documented.

In practice you pick an attribute that matches your playstyle — burst, crowd control, tanking, or chain damage — and build around it. If you lack three matching characters, a mixed 2+1 team still triggers a basic bonus, and Motives can grant secondary attributes to fill the gaps.

Reactor Attributes

There are seven Reactor Attributes in Silver Palace, four of which are fully active in the current build. Each one ties to an element and a distinct combat identity: Ignis is raw fire damage, Glacies leans on crowd control and crit, Gravitas plays defense and debuffs, and Fulmen delivers attack speed and chaining. The remaining three exist but are not yet documented: Radiatio (Light) appears in character data (Cynthia II carries it), while Alba and Ferrugo were confirmed by Expo preview footage of the in-game Reactor Attribute screen. None of the three have published resonance effects yet, so treat them as placeholders until the developers reveal more.

The most important thing to grasp before reading the numbers is that attributes are not interchangeable. Picking one commits your team to a particular way of fighting, and the 4-stack ultimate is where that identity becomes unmistakable. The table below summarises each attribute, its element, and what it is built for.

If you are still deciding where to start, Ignis is the most straightforward resonance for beginners — it asks little and pays out predictable damage. For a wider look at how these elements behave in combat, see the Elements & Classes guide.

How Resonance Works

Resonance scales in three thresholds, and each one is a meaningful step up rather than a flat increase. With two matching characters you activate the basic resonance bonus, which provides a stat boost and a minor effect. With three characters the resonance is enhanced — the bonuses grow stronger and an additional effect comes online. With four characters you reach full resonance, unlocking the unique ultimate effect tied to that attribute.

The practical takeaway is that three matching characters is the sweet spot most teams aim for, while four is reserved for dedicated mono-attribute builds chasing the ultimate. You do not need a perfect stack to benefit, though — a 2+1 split still triggers the basic bonus, which makes mixed teams a reasonable fallback when your roster is thin.

Resonance Effects by Attribute

Each attribute's bonuses change at the 2-, 3-, and 4-stack thresholds, and the exact values matter when you are deciding how deep to commit. The tables below lay out every confirmed effect from CBT-1. Read them as the payoff curve for committing more of your team slots to one attribute — the jump from three to four is usually where the signature ultimate justifies going mono.

Bear in mind these numbers are CBT-1 values and may shift in later beta tests. Radiatio, Alba, and Ferrugo are omitted from the detailed effects below because their bonuses have not been revealed.

Ignis (Fire)

Ignis is fire-based attack damage, and its resonance provides bonus damage and burn effects. It is the cleanest pick for burst, single-target bosses, and fast clear content, and it is the attribute we recommend new players start with.

Glacies (Ice)

Glacies is ice-based attack damage, focused on crowd control and defense reduction. It suits CRIT-focused builds and extended fights where slows and freezes keep enemies manageable.

Gravitas (Gravity)

Gravitas is gravity-based attack damage built around utility and debuffs. It anchors tank teams and defensive playstyles, trading some raw damage for survivability and enemy DEF reduction.

Fulmen (Lightning)

Fulmen is lightning-based attack damage that delivers burst and chain damage. It shines on auto-attack builds and multi-target content where chaining cleans up packs of enemies.

Character Resonance Compatibility

Resonance only works if your characters can actually carry the attributes you want, so the second half of team-building is checking which characters slot where. Some characters are locked to a single inherent attribute by their weapon — Cinderella is Ignis because of her flame sword, Lorin is Glacies through ice-based support, Firtho is Fulmen for lightning DPS, and Cynthia II carries the as-yet-undocumented Radiatio. Others are far more flexible.

The Detective is the standout generalist, able to use any resonance depending on the Motives you equip, which makes the Detective the connective tissue of almost every comp below. Argos covers ice and gravitas thanks to a cane gun and a support role that benefits from gravitas defense, while Alf supports Ignis via flamethrower. A wind-based (Aer) affinity was previously listed for Argos and Alf but has been removed as unconfirmed pending official kit details. The table below maps each confirmed character to its compatible attributes.

Because the Detective fits anywhere, a common pattern is to build around one or two locked attribute carriers and let the Detective complete the stack. Remember that Motives can add secondary attributes to characters, so check your gear before assuming a character cannot reach a given resonance.

Recommended Team Compositions

The compositions below show how the attributes and characters come together into teams that actually reach a resonance threshold. Each one names the attributes it stacks, the characters who carry them, and the resonance level it hits — anything marked Lv.4 reaches the ultimate, Lv.3 enhances the bonuses, and Lv.2 is a flexible mixed setup. Where a slot reads TBA, the third character is still to be confirmed from the current roster.

Use these as templates rather than fixed answers. If you cannot field the exact lineup, the principle holds: stack three matching attributes when you can, and fall back to a 2+1 mixed team when you cannot. Gravitas teams in particular require less investment but deal less damage, which makes them an easy entry point for surviving hard content.

Pro Tips

The difference between a team that technically has resonance and one that consistently triggers it comes down to a handful of habits. The notes below collect what the closed beta surfaced about getting the most out of the system, from stacking discipline to matching your resonance against the enemies you are about to face.

Keep these in mind as you build, and treat them as guidance for CBT-1 — like the bonus values, they may evolve in later tests.

• Stack 3 characters with matching attributes for maximum resonance bonus.
• Use mixed teams (2+1) for flexibility when you don't have matching characters.
• Motives can add secondary attributes to characters - check gear for resonance options.
• Ignis is currently the most straightforward resonance for beginners.
• Gravitas teams require less investment but deal less damage.
• Consider enemy type when selecting resonance - match reactor attribute for bonus effectiveness.

Once you have a resonance core in mind, the natural next step is figuring out which characters are worth investing in. Our tier list ranks the current roster so you can find the best characters for your resonance team, and the Combat Mastery guide covers how to actually pilot those teams in a fight.
