With the half anniversary update they introduced a new type of dungeon; Elemental Dungeon.
Each day of the week will feature a different element you can farm and/or sweep up to three times.
Only the big glowing nodes apply to everyone in the account if it’s passive stats (usually % instead of flat ones).
The small nodes only apply to the character you are training.
You can check the total stats in your buff bar, under your profile.

Tiamat
Tiamat ,
NEO Bedivere
NEO Bedivere ,
Lancelot
Lancelot , etc.
Units you know will last for a few months and not waste
