Let's dive back into a core concept/theory topic for our very 38th episode of Recollection Step - and let's talk about the Elementaries of the Basic Elements! Which Element beats which? Why does water feel SO GOOD when it's good? Where can we expect the meta to move over time? We will answer these questions are more in today's episode!

Plus - should Rile be banned? Let's make a case AGAINST it - but let us know what you think the comments!
