Aniimo Element Chart

Each Aniimo has one or two element types. When you attack with a move whose element is super effective against the target, you deal ×1.6 damage — a significant boost that makes type knowledge essential in every fight.

When you attack into a resisted element, your damage drops to ×0.625. That penalty is harsh enough that switching to a better-type creature is almost always the right call over forcing a bad matchup.

Neutral matchups deal ×1.0 damage. There are only these three values — no double weaknesses, no quad damage and no immunities. Mirror matchups are resisted for eight of the nine elements; Dark is the sole exception, where Dark attacking Dark stays at ×1.

Dual-type creatures carry two rows of this chart at once, which widens both what they resist and what they are weak to. The current roster has eight dual-typed Aniimo, and the most common combinations are Rock with Grass on the Budclaw and Shrubclaw line, and Fire with Rock on Lavazar and Magmarex.

This is the mistake that costs the most damage. A creature's element decides what it is — what it takes extra damage from and what it resists. The moves it casts carry their own element, and they do not have to match.

Ignitis is a mono Dark creature, but its skill list includes Fire Dash. Thornblade is Grass, yet half of its kit is elemental variants — Aqua Defence, Lightning Impact. Sherro carries four near-identical slams in Water, Grass, Electric and a Prismana flavour.

That is why the multiplier that matters is the one attached to the move you actually press. Check the skill list on a creature's page, pick the variant that matches the enemy's weakness, and you will out-damage a player who only looked at the creature's own type.

Fire beats Grass and Ice — Fire-type attackers cover the two most common early-game elements. Bring a Fire creature to Grass-heavy zones.

Water beats Fire and Rock — Water is the safest generalist early on, with two common weaknesses covered.

Dark and Grass both beat three elements — they are the only two elements in Aniimo with three offensive advantages. Dark covers Grass, Electric and Holy; Grass covers Water, Rock and Fire.

Holy only beats Wind and Dark — Holy has the fewest creatures on the roster (just 2) and the narrowest coverage, but both starters are Holy and both hit hard.

Electric is the safest three-way answer — it is resisted by only Electric, Ice and Rock, so almost nothing walls it.

For general exploration, build a team that covers at least 4–5 different offensive elements. Fire, Water, Grass and Electric cover the most common enemies you will encounter across all zones.

For boss fights and Sanctums, tailor your team to the boss's weakness. One super-effective attacker outperforms two neutral ones. Check the boss's element before committing your team.

Roles matter as much as elements. A team of pure DPS creatures will lose to a boss with a long health bar, so bring at least one Heal, Regen or Support creature. Browse creatures by role on the full creature list.
