Both monsters and techniques have one or two types. When a technique is used on a monster, the type(s) of the technique is compared to the type(s) of the monster. In some cases, this results in the technique's damage being multiplied or divided. | |||

* '''Wood:''' Includes creatures associated with plants, lichen and fungi, forests, the natural environment, the wind and flying, and the wilderness. | |||

We have gone with model A at this point. | |||
* In A, an attack is weak against the element that it Generates and strong against the element that it Overcomes. | * In A, an attack is weak against the element that it Generates and strong against the element that it Overcomes. | ||

* In E, an attack is weak against the element that it Generates, strong against the element that it Overcomes, weak against the element that Overcomes it and strong against the element that Generates it. | * In E, an attack is weak against the element that it Generates, strong against the element that it Overcomes, weak against the element that Overcomes it and strong against the element that Generates it. | ||
== Dual types == | |||
While the game only has five types, the existence of two-type monsters and techniques allows for different vulnerability and resistance profiles. We can therefore represent other "types". For example, Earth-Fire techniques do half damage to Earth monsters and double damage to Water monsters. Electricity-themed techniques like Electrical Storm can be given the types Earth and Fire, to reflect the idea that water conducts electricity well, but it is earthed when it hits the ground. | |||
* Earth-Fire techniques do half damage to Earth monsters and double damage to Water monsters. ("Electricity" pseudo-type) | |||
* Earth-Water techniques do half damage to Wood and Metal monsters and double damage to Fire and Water monsters. ("Ice" pseudo-type) | |||
* Earth-Wood techniques do half damage to Fire and Metal monsters and double damage to Earth and Water monsters. ("Fungus"/"Underground Plant" pseudo-type) | |||
* Earth-Metal techniques do half damage to Metal monsters and double damage to Wood monsters. ("Vermin" pseudo-type). | |||
* Fire-Wood techniques do half damage to Fire monsters and double damage to Metal monsters. ("Battle" pseudo-type). | |||
* Fire-Metal techniques do half damage to Earth and Water monsters and double damage to Wood and Metal monsters. ("Spiritual"/"Supernatural" pseudo-type). | |||
* Wood-Metal techniques do half damage to Fire and Water monsters and double damage to Earth and Wood monsters. ("Flying"/"Heaven" pseudo-type). | |||
==Other proposals== | |||
There have been proposals to add a Normal type, [https://forum.tuxemon.org/thread.php?id=140 the Heaven and Darkness types], [https://forum.tuxemon.org/thread.php?id=81 a whole additional set of five types, or "technique types" that techniques could have, but monsters wouldn't]. | |||
Some of this design space has instead been filled by dual types (see above). | |||
