7 Elements — Counter Chart, Damage & Team Picks

Why elements matter

Every attack applies an element multiplier. Playing the right element into a weak matchup is often worth more than +1 star on a pet.

MatchupMultiplier
Strong (advantage)×1.25
Neutral×1.0
Weak (disadvantage)×0.8

The elemental wheel

Fire  → strong vs Wind   | weak vs Water
Water → strong vs Fire   | weak vs Thunder
Wind  → strong vs Earth  | weak vs Fire
Earth → strong vs Thunder| weak vs Wind
Thunder → strong vs Water| weak vs Earth

Quick reference table

Team-building rules

  1. Bring at least 2 elements so you are never hard-countered by a mono-element defense.
  2. Lead with advantage — your fastest pet should target the enemy's weak element first.
  3. Respect Light/Dark mirrors — whoever moves first or has better support usually wins.
  4. Don't stack five of one element unless you know the opponent's team.

Practice drill

Before Arena, ask for each enemy pet:

  1. What element is it?
  2. Who on my team has ×1.25 into it?
  3. Who is ×0.8 and should avoid that target?

Skill in element play is the ~20% win-rate swing the game is balanced around.
