Elemental Types

Every Animon in LumenTale: Memories of Trey belongs to one of 13 elemental types. Types decide how creatures match up in battle, with each one strong against some and weak against others. A balanced team usually covers several types so you are not stopped by a single resistant opponent.

The 13 Types

How Types Work in Battle

In a turn-based fight, the damage a move deals depends partly on how the attacker’s type lines up against the defender’s type. Hitting an opponent with a type it is weak to does more, while a poor matchup does less. Switching your active Animon to answer the opponent’s type is a key tactic. See the Combat System page.

Per-Species Weaknesses

Type effectiveness here is per-species, not a single global chart. Each Animon has its own strengths and weaknesses across the 13 types, so two creatures of the same primary type can have different matchup profiles. Some species also carry a secondary type on top of their primary, which is most visible in dual-type catches you find later in the adventure. Learning the weaknesses of the species you face often matters more than memorizing a single chart.

Types and Attributes Together

Type is only one half of an Animon’s combat identity. The other is its emotional attribute, one of five tied to feelings. Together, type and attribute give each creature a distinct profile. See Animon Attributes.

Notable Type Examples

• Lampecko is an Electric type given to the player early.

• Ozelash is an Electric-type starter.
