I feel the same way but it's not my area of expertise. I wouldn't know what to change.
I think we're retiring the m-sl tag.

I feel it's a bit over-cooked, but it's been quiet for a while. Closing.

I recommend something like this, based on what wikipedia describes. The parenthetical parts could be clearer.
Also found a third possible translation.

I'm confused about sense 3. Wikipedia lists two separate meanings (alignment in D&D style games, and the meaning used in video games), and I'm mostly familiar with the latter meaning.

I'm fine with keeping "alignment" (D&D meaning) but "character class" usually means the character's _profession_ (warrior, ranger, cleric etc.) and has little to do with 属性

水属性の敵 means an enemy that's probably strong against attacks that classify as "water" but weak against attacks of a different type. You would do well to choose an attack that doesn't do water damage, or equip items that provide resistance to water damage (because the enemy deals water damage)

I would translate this simply as "element" most of the time, even though the categories don't always match the classical four or chinees five elements. "type" would be a good translation too.
