- Clap Your Hands If You Believe: Idols are said to have come to life through prayers.
- Death from Above: Downplayed with the Dark Idol's regular attack. It involves dropping a big sword onto its enemy, though it only does damage; it does not always one shot kill the victim.

- "I am a Thunder Totem. You would be wise to use my powers justly."— Thunder Totem's warning on how to use it.
Somewhere, deep in the ruined temples of the six elements, there lies the Elemental Totems. They are created by the gods as the embodiment of their respective elements, feared and worshiped for their tremendous power and causing havoc wherever they walk. Novices are advised not to enter their domain, but if you manage to defeat one of them in battle, it will automatically join your team and you will receive incredible power.
In addition to the six elements, there is another temple named the Ruins of Miracles. It is devoted to a god who's said to draw out one's ultimate power. The power to overwhelm gods lies at the end of the temple, where Miracle Totem challenges you to fight it. Miracle Totem holds all six elements, and folklore speaks of how it holds the greatest power. As the result, it is worshiped as a god. If a unit can evolve into a 6-star, then he/she/it will need Miracle Totem as part of the evolutionary materials.

- Cyclops: Or at least they each have a T-shaped marking that vaguely resembles an eye.

- "You summon the power of Darkness... Are you prepared to consume every last soul?"— Dark Mecha God questioning your conviction.
The Mecha Gods are incarnations of their respective elements, created by the gods as power sources. During the war against the humans, however, they proved too unstable to use and may potentially surpass even their creators, forcing them to seal them off. Nevertheless, a few still persist, and it is said that anyone who learns to tame them shall earn the power to surpass the gods.
