Types and type chart

Every Mebuly and every attack has a type. When an attack hits a Mebuly, the two types decide how well it works. Know your types and you will win fights that raw power alone could never win.

How to read the chart

The rows show the type of the attack, the columns the type of the Mebuly being hit. Find the row of your attack and follow it to the column of your opponent. + means effective, − not very effective and ✕ immune – the attack does nothing at all. Empty cells are neutral. What counts is the type of the attack, not the type of the Mebuly using it.

Mebulys with two types

Many Mebulys have two types, and then both count. Two strengths make an attack very effective (++). Two weaknesses make it barely effective (−−). One strength and one weakness cancel each other out. If either type is immune, the attack fizzles out completely.

• Winguzi has the types maji and ndege. Attacks of the umeme type are effective against both – so they are very effective.
• Mtikuu has the types jani and ardhi. Attacks of the ndege type are very effective, while its ardhi type makes it immune to umeme attacks.
• Kobeo has the types maji and mwamba. Attacks of the jani type are very effective, moto attacks are barely effective.

Immunities

These combinations do nothing at all – the battle shows “immune” (attack → Mebuly):
kawaida → mzimu
umeme → ardhi
ardhi → ndege and mzimu
akili and mzimu → mashine
mashine → mzimu

Battle tips

• Mix up your team: five Mebulys with different types cover each other's weaknesses.
• Give each Mebuly attacks of two different types. That way it still has an answer against opponents that shrug off its main type.
• Almost every type is not very effective against itself – fire against fire gets you nowhere. The big exception is mzimu: attacks of the mzimu type are actually effective against mzimu Mebulys.
• Attacks of the kawaida type are never effective, but they make a safe backup: only mwamba shrugs them off, and only mzimu is immune.
• Wet makes opponents vulnerable: while a Mebuly is wet, umeme and barafu attacks hit harder. Soak it with water first, then follow up with electric or ice – more under Status effects.
