Hello Mage community of RO, i was curious to know more about the insignias cause i'm about to include them into the build. So please share your knowledge with me!
Couple questions:
1- Does Wind Insignia lvl 3 reduces water skills cooldowns or wind or all, in the wiki it says water, game doesn't specifys so idk
2- A guy was telling me that if you use a lvl 2 insignia the property of the monster was gonna change to the insignia property, what i had understood of this is that only his basic attacks dmg would change to the property, not the whole property of the monster (Hope you guys understood that xD)
3- How well does insignias work and like how should i use them against different kind of MVPs (Neutral/Earth/Water/Fire/Wind/etc.)
4- The lvl of the insignia only uses the effects of the asigned skill lvl? Let me explain. If you use a Water Insignia lvl 3 it will only trigger the effects of lvl 3 or will it also trigger lvl 1-2 as well. I had been told it only has effect on the designed skill lvl used

1. Not Sure
2. You are right, your friend is wrong, but, when a monster is inside a specific insignia (any lvl) will receive 50% more dmg of the opposite element, so for example if you cast a water insignia on any mob, it will receive 50% more dmg from wind skills or attacks. Remember also that lvl 2 insignia not only affect the mob inside the insignia but everything inside the insignia, so if you and certain mob are inside a lvl water insignia, both of you are going to change your attack to water.
3. Insignias are best used on stationary enemies such as mvps (where you can tank them) uses varies and depend on the situations, most people use it to amplify the dmg of certain skills (for example wind dmg against a water insignia) taking advantage of the new element modifier cards. But also can be used to tank mvps taking advantage of elemental defense from you summons and different element insignias (like for example reducing dmg from the aqua lvl 2 defense mode wich make you 100% immune to water dmg and using a water insignia to change element of the enemies attacks so you will receive less dmg. Most sorcs videos killing stuff you see using insignia to amplify dmg tho.

I will leave you some of the videso where im using insignias, hope it help you to get an idea.

I had read about the tank use of insignias + spirits, never tried it tho, does it really works?

You can use insignia of opposite element to boss' one to deal %hp damage. On top of that, since insignia can change boss' attack element you can prepare elemental gear to significantly reduce damage taken. And, if necessary, you can bring forth summon tier 2 in defence mode to protect yourself from taking damage from elemental skills if boss has them. 

 

for example water armor, water insignia under ifrit, fire summon tier 2 in defence mode for fire dmg reduction(this example is only to demonstrate the usage of insignia ofc)

Wind Insignia lvl 3 reduces the aftercast delay of all Wind property type spells by 50% when "YOU" stand within its 3x3 AoE. The other bonus of added Wind Property damage of 125+MATK applys on "TARGETS" that stand within its 3x3 AoE.

Nah these effects actually dont work.

Insignias are some fun stuff, they are some of the most bugged stuff i've come across in this game.

What you mean with this lol? Is completely bugged ???

[Sewasan]

is that some of the effects of the insignias doesnt work or they are plain wrong, like for example water and wind lvl 3 insignias, i tested most of the insignia effects and i can tell that some of them actually work, the only one i couldnt test was the lvl 3 insignia effect, so i cant tell if actually work or not...and also the entire fire insignia set

Wind insignia lv2 converts only the eATK of who's inside to wind property.

Fire insignia lv2 atk+50 doesnt work, but it converts all of your atk to fire property(status+weapon/equip)*

*it could be that it adds 50 status atk,plus converting the same way as wind insignia, leading to similar results as my samples gave.

[Sewasan]

i remember i test that and it increase the dmg, but could be the 10% increase aswell, the matk works tho on the lvl 3 one

This totally destroyed my view of Insignias xD, but well it's worth to try them i suppose

[PervySageMarty]

They arent that bad to be honest. For SpellFist Sorcs especially, bringing the mobs into the Insignia's and then Fisting them with a Spell of the opposing element for the extra 50% increase in damage is quite exhilerating.
