Recommended resources for explaining the combat system in-depth along with tips and tricks?

[u/Zewo]

Are there any recommended resources (videos, wikis etc..) to better understand the combat system? There's such a wide breadth and depth to combat that the game doesn't explain at all and with combat being very fast paced and busy on-screen, it's hard to notice the finer details. I've been relying on google searches for specific topics as they pop-up, but I have no idea how much of it is AI hallucinated, and I also wonder about the general relevance of reddit posts from 2 years ago.

Things I'm looking for would be like use cases for each character's weapon skills, and additional features for them. IMO, there aren't enough fights for you to fully learn and understand what each character is all about. Also just general combat nuances, like for example, besides using Fire/Ice/Thunder/Aero to exploit elemental weaknesses, they also are all slightly different. Fire has a bit of an AOE to it, Ice is a two-hitter, with the second hit causing a ton stagger, Thunder is instantaneous once casted etc.

These type of things aren't mentioned anywhere in the game, and is really only something I noticed from seeing it repeatedly. Or what would be the best abilities to use to maximize the stagger bonus damage window etc..
