Aniimo Type Chart — Nine Elements, Every Matchup

Thirteen species in the beta roster carried two elements — for example Inferlupa (Fire/Dark), Glacy (Water/Ice), Witchin (Dark/Grass), Magmarex (Fire/Earth) and Bubbeep (Grass/Water). Dual typing widens both the resistance list and the weakness list at the same time.

One rule is easy to miss: the game has never stated how two defensive elements combine against a single attack, and the community projects that maintain the chart deliberately do not multiply the two figures — they list each matchup on its own. There is no official 2.56x-style combo math to lean on.

The reverse also holds: moves carry their own element, separate from the user. A Water-type Aniimo throwing an Ice move deals Ice damage — a beta-era observation worth remembering, so always check the move's element, not just the creature's.

In practice the chart drives two decisions: who to send in and who to keep in reserve. A Fire DPS deletes Grass and Ice targets but should swap out the moment a Water or Earth threat appears; an Earth Break stalls Lightning and Ice attackers all day.

Roles stack on top of elements. The beta roster divided into five roles — DPS, Break, Heal, Regen and Support — and elemental coverage should sit on top of role coverage, not replace it. A perfectly countered team with no healer still loses long fights.

Elements also reach beyond combat. The beta tutorial showed fire burning vine walls and undergrowth to open paths and chests, while wind and other elements powered their own environmental effects — a beta-era observation, but a good reason to keep one Aniimo of every major element on rotation rather than a single-element squad.

If you memorise one thing: Dark entered the beta with three super-effective matchups — Fire, Grass and Light — which is why community tier lists rated it so highly offensively, while Light had barely any users. That balance is exactly the kind of thing launch patches tend to adjust.
