What I'm saying is that the skills work in conjunction; 25% boost to your element and 20% drop to all of your opponent's cards. That's A LOT of damage! But really, you never know when you're attacking a pure element player or not. Say you attack a fire player, the skill is great drop to fire def. But not all of their deck is fire, and all of their good def cards are water. That will only drop their fire cards by 25%, while their Sedna, Hamaliel, Lagu, Richelieu, and their army of Snow Maidens and Silent Mermaids don't get a drop. They win, even against your new Aurora's great boost to water atk, because your great drop to fire def only had effect on their fire atk cards and few fire def cards.

But then you have, let's say, PM new Aurora and PM Twinkling Tinkerbell. Tink drops all of their defense by 20%, with Aurora giving you a 25% boost. They lose because you dropped their defenses and boosted your attack.

Great boost to one element's atk or def is the best skill out there, but hey! Great drop to all atk and/or def is also a great skill that is amazing to have!
