- Undead
- Weak to Plant, Fire and Holy;
- Demonic

(Ice is not mentioned in-game; however it is weak to Flying and Fire)
Chart
Here is a more complete study, with both weaknesses and strengths, in defense as well as in offense.
The colour code is the following:
|
Target is weak to attacker |
Target is resistant to attacker |
Target is neutral to attacker |
(Target on top, Attacker on left)
| Trg | No. | Fl. | Pl. | Wa. | Ea. | Ic. | Fi. | El. | Ro. | Di. | Un. | De. | Ho. | Ti. |

Strategic Comparisons
When deciding which minions to have in your party, think of the Elements as one of the three essential Strategic Points (along with Statistics and Skills).
Your choices should depend on what tactics you want to focus in battle: rather on a "swift offense" (attempting to sweep enemy minions before they can react), or instead on a "lasting defense" (controlling the situation despite the enemy's offensive).
These would also depends on whether you want to build yourself a team of "tenured" minions for the whole game, or work with a varying team of "casual" minions so as to adapt to a given situation.
Strength Comparison
According to the chart above, each element can be considered to have a relative "strength factor". This can be calculated by comparing the number of 'Super Effective' each minion can deal, versus the number of 'Not Effective', in ratio format. As of July 2014, the ratios fall into six different strength brackets, which are as follows:
- '150%'
- 3:2 Flying
- 3:2 Ice
- 3:2 Dino
- 3:2 Titan
- '133.3%'
- 4:3 Fire
- '100%'
- 1:1 Normal
- 4:4 Earth
- 3:3 Electric
- 3:3 Demonic
- 3:3 Holy
- '80%'
- 4:5 Water
- '75%'
- 3:4 Plant
- '40%'
- 2:5 Undead
Note: The Robot element is obviously meant to be the most balanced type in term of offense (0:0), and does not fit into any strength bracket...
Strategic interest: In a well rounded team, all things being equal, minions with attacks of elements located toward the top of the list will beat opposing minions more often than not, statistically.
So, this comparison may be useful in the perspective of building a team of "tenured" minions, combined with a "swift offense" tactic. Also useful to choose a "casual" damage dealer.
Resistance Comparison
In a similar way, we can establish a relative "resistance factor" for each element (number of 'Not Effective' taken, versus number of 'Super Effective'), which gives us nine different resistance brackets:
- '250%'
- 5:2 Fire
- '200%'
- 4:2 Holy
- '150%'
- 3:2 Electric
- 3:2 Dino
- 3:2 Demonic
- '133.3%'
- 4:3 Earth
- '100%'
- 1:1 Water
- 3:3 Undead
- '80%'
- 4:5 Plant
- '66.6%'
- 2:3 Ice
- 2:3 Titan
- '50%'
- 1:2 Normal
- 1:2 Flying
- '25%'
- 1:4 Robot
Strategic interest: In a well rounded team, minions of elements located toward the top of the list will be defeated by opposing minions less often, statistically.
So, this comparison may be useful in the perspective of building a team of "tenured" minions, combined with a "lastind defense" tactic. Also useful to choose a "casual" tank.
Reminders
- These figures are but formal and statistical; one could consider calculating other "factors" of their own, that they would then interpret to steer their choices of minions;
- Likewise, do not feel forced to come round to one of the two strategies given above; you can choose to combine several simple tactics, or build a more technical one...
- However, with any strategy, do not forget to take in account the Speed factor, that can reverse a situation, no matter the tactic at the start.
