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.


'''Technique'''   
* '''Fire:''' Includes creatures associated with energy, like electricity, light and heat, dragons and other legendary beings, and poison.  
* Fire techniques do half damage to Earth monsters and double damage to Metal monsters 
* '''Water:''' Includes creatures associated with the sea, lakes and swamps, ice and snow, the weather, liquids like blood, and fish and amphibians.
* Earth techniques do half damage to Metal monsters and double damage to Water monsters 
* '''Wood:''' Includes creatures associated with plants, lichen and fungi, poison and venom, forests, the natural environment, the wind and flying, and the wilderness.
* Metal techniques do half damage to Water monsters and double damage to Wood monsters 
* '''Earth:''' Includes creatures associated with the ground and underground, dirt and soil, mountains and rocks, caves, and ancient and buried things.
* Water techniques do half damage to Wood monsters and double damage to Fire monsters 
* '''Metal:''' Includes creatures associated with steel, light and darkness, mechanical and robotic things, psychic powers and other unnatural things, humankind, and the undead.
* Wood techniques do half damage to Fire monsters and double damage to Earth monsters

Background[edit | edit source]

Tuxemon's creature types are based on the five-element/five-agent theory of Wu Xing. The doctrine of five phases describes this:

300px-Wu_Xing.png

Overcoming Cycle[edit | edit source]

  • Wood parts Earth (such as roots; or, Trees can prevent soil erosion)
  • Earth dams (or muddles or absorbs) Water
  • Water extinguishes Fire
  • Fire melts Metal
  • Metal chops Wood

Generating Cycle[edit | edit source]

  • Wood fuels Fire
  • Fire leaves behind Earth (ash)
  • Earth produces Metal
  • Metal fortifies Water (minerals in water)
  • Water nourishes Wood

Associations[edit | edit source]

  • Fire: Includes creatures associated with energy, like electricity, light and heat, dragons and other legendary beings, and poison.
  • Water: Includes creatures associated with the sea, lakes and swamps, ice and snow, the weather, liquids like blood, and fish and amphibians.
  • Wood: Includes creatures associated with plants, lichen and fungi, poison and venom, forests, the natural environment, the wind and flying, and the wilderness.
  • Earth: Includes creatures associated with the ground and underground, dirt and soil, mountains and rocks, caves, and ancient and buried things.
  • Metal: Includes creatures associated with steel, light and darkness, mechanical and robotic things, psychic powers and other unnatural things, humankind, and the undead.

How it works[edit | edit source]

There are five options for strengths and weaknesses using the Wu Xing cycles:

  • In A, an attack is weak against the element that it Generates and strong against the element that it Overcomes.
  • In B, an attack is weak against the element that Overcomes it and strong against the element that Generates it.
  • In C, an attack is weak against the element that it Generates, strong against the element that it Overcomes and strong against the element that Generates it.
  • In D, an attack is weak against the element that Overcomes it, strong against the element that Generates it 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.

We have gone with model A at this point:

tech/target Wood Earth Water Fire Metal
Wood 2 0.5
Earth 2 0.5
Water 0.5 2
Fire 0.5 2
Metal 2 0.5

Dual types/Pseudo-types[edit | edit source]

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.
