Elements, combos and legends

Every weapon and many passives carry one or more elements. Owning several items of the same element unlocks bonuses at 2 and 3 items. Two elements with at least 2 items each unlock a combo; several elements at once unlock a legend (most need three elements with at least 3 items each; the table lists each condition).
