# Type Chart (Counters) Every Mebuli has one (some have two) **element type**. In battle, the type of the **attack** versus the type(s) of the **target** decides a **damage multiplier**, from ×0.1 up to ×4. The multiplier feeds directly into the [damage formula](https://mebulalegends.bitmeup.com/wiki/en/guide/combat/#damage-calculation): ``` Damage = Attack² / (Attack + Defense) × Type × Crit × Variance ``` ## Legend | Symbol | Multiplier | Meaning | |:------:|:----------:|---------| | | **×2.5** | strong, deals **more** damage | | | **×0.5** | weak, deals **less** damage | | | **×0.1** | **highly resistant**, barely a scratch | | · | ×1 | neutral | ::: info No true immunity any more This used to be real immunity (×0). That made a well-chosen Mebuli immortal in the [Endless Tower](https://mebulalegends.bitmeup.com/wiki/en/guide/tower/), 0 damage means infinitely far. Today it is **×0.1**: the resistance stays very strong, but finite. This applies in **every** battle: story, realms, tower, arena and dungeons. ::: ## Counters per type Which attack type is strong or weak against which target types: | Attack type | Strong vs (×2.5) | Weak vs (×0.5) | Highly resistant (×0.1) | |-------------|--------------------|-------------------|---------------| | Fire **Fire** | Nature Nature · Ice Ice · Steel Steel | Fire Fire · Rock Rock · Water Water | | | Nature **Nature** | Rock Rock · Water Water | Fire Fire · Nature Nature · Flying Flying | | | Electric **Electric** | Flying Flying · Water Water · Steel Steel | Electric Electric | Earth Earth | | Flying **Flying** | Nature Nature · Earth Earth | Fire Fire · Flying Flying · Rock Rock | | | Normal **Normal** | | Rock Rock | Ghost Ghost | | Psychic **Psychic** | Ghost Ghost | Psychic Psychic | Steel Steel | | Ghost **Ghost** | Psychic Psychic · Ghost Ghost | Normal Normal | Steel Steel | | Earth **Earth** | Fire Fire · Electric Electric · Steel Steel | Earth Earth | Flying Flying · Ghost Ghost | | Rock **Rock** | Fire Fire · Flying Flying | Rock Rock · Steel Steel | | | Water **Water** | Fire Fire · Rock Rock · Steel Steel | Nature Nature · Water Water · Ice Ice | | | Ice **Ice** | Nature Nature · Flying Flying · Steel Steel | Fire Fire · Ice Ice | | | Steel **Steel** | Normal Normal · Psychic Psychic · Rock Rock · Ice Ice | Nature Nature · Flying Flying · Steel Steel | Ghost Ghost | ::: tip Defensive reading To see what threatens **your** Mebuli, read the table "the other way": a Nature **Nature** Mebuli, for example, takes more damage from Fire Fire, Flying Flying and Ice Ice (they list it under "strong vs"). ::: ## Full matrix Row = **attacker**, column = **target**. Empty cells are neutral (×1). | ↓ Attacker \ Target → | Fire | Nature | Electric | Flying | Normal | Psychic | Ghost | Earth | Rock | Water | Ice | Steel | |:--|:-:|:-:|:-:|:-:|:-:|:-:|:-:|:-:|:-:|:-:|:-:|:-:| | Fire **Fire** | | | · | · | · | · | · | · | | | | | | Nature **Nature** | | | · | | · | · | · | · | | | · | · | | Electric **Electric** | · | · | | | · | · | · | | · | | · | | | Flying **Flying** | | | · | | · | · | · | | | · | · | · | | Normal **Normal** | · | · | · | · | · | · | | · | | · | · | · | | Psychic **Psychic** | · | · | · | · | · | | | · | · | · | · | | | Ghost **Ghost** | · | · | · | · | | | | · | · | · | · | | | Earth **Earth** | | · | | | · | · | | | · | · | · | | | Rock **Rock** | | · | · | | · | · | · | · | | · | · | | | Water **Water** | | | · | · | · | · | · | · | | | | | | Ice **Ice** | | | · | | · | · | · | · | · | · | | | | Steel **Steel** | · | | · | | | | | · | | · | | | ## Dual types on the target If the **target** has two types, both effects combine: | Case | Result | |------|--------| | Both strong ( + ) | **×4**, massive damage | | Both weak ( + ) | **×0.2**, barely a scratch | | Strong + weak ( + ) | **×1**. They cancel out | | One highly resistant () | **×0.1**, the attack almost completely bounces off | ## Dual types on the attacker If **your** Mebuli has two types as well, it brings **both** into the attack. The result is the **average** of the two individual effectiveness values. **Example:** a Water/Flying Mebuli attacks a Nature target. Water gives ×0.5, Flying ×2.5. That becomes **×1.5**. For a single-type Mebuli nothing is averaged; its type simply applies. ## Element Bond shifts the values Three formation bonuses of the [Element Bond](https://mebulalegends.bitmeup.com/wiki/en/guide/element-bond/) change this calculation directly: - **Dual Nature** (all 5 Mebulis with a secondary type): instead of the average, half the way to the better type counts. The example above (×1.5) becomes ×2. - **Triad**: your team's type advantages get stronger, ×2.5 becomes ×2.8. - **Rainbow** (5 different primary types): counters against your team get 20 % weaker, ×2.5 becomes ×2. A counter never drops below neutral (×1) this way. ## Help in the game - **Tooltips on the type icons** (in battle, in the Mebuli Codex and in the Endless Tower) show what a type is strong against, weak against and where it barely deals damage. - Hovering over an element icon **in battle** highlights which targets take more or less damage. - When building your team, the element filter can be switched to **Strong vs**. It then shows every Mebuli that is strong against the chosen element.
