More cards with sub-attributes

So now the 7-star attack cards have changed from the normal evolution into the "ultimate" evolution path, each one gaining it's own element as the sub element (for example, Bahamut+ is now considered fire/fire).  Note that the materials to do the evolutions have not changed.  I guess this is ok, since when you do evolve them this way, they don't go back to level 1.  Also, people who have Lenneth and/or Silmeria got the same treatment, though their sub-element is different from their main (Simeria got light, Lenneth got dark).

From what info I gathered, if the sub element is the same as the main element, the sub element will do damage equal to 10% of the card's ATK.  So it will produce a second attack doing only 1/10th of the damage.  If the sub element is different from the main element, the 2nd attack will damage equal to 30% of the card's ATK.  For the sub elemental attack to activate you need to make a chain of the sub element.  So if you had a Disciple of Fire and Water, you would need to make a fire chain and a water chain for that card to make both attacks, not just it's primary element.

Having matching main and sub elements seems very underwhelming so far, but different elements may be ok.  At high level quests, where enemies have actual defense, that sub attack may not amount to anything but 1 damage unless you pull off a very high combo.

Also, restoring a double elemental card to its original version no longer requires 5 holy flowers.  It now requires 1 of each of those non-winged tentacle monsters, which are sorta painful to get unless it's the Friday weekly quest.  I still don't know why you'd want to revert a card though.
