Type Counter Guide
Tales of Grimm Guide
Tales of Grimm is an idle RPG where you play as the Dreamer, and lead an army of creatures, heroes, and other entities as you help the natives of the fairy tale land of Oz. During combat, your party’s composition and individual attributes matter. Knowing these attributes will allow you to adjust your strategy accordingly, as the situation demands it. In our Type Counter Guide, we will quickly discuss this feature and how you can take advantage of it.
What is Type Counter
If you have played RPGs before, then you should already be familiar with the common trope of “type advantage”. For example, water attacks deal bonus damage against fire enemies, fire attacks deal bonus damage to ice or plant enemies, and more. Tales of Grimm has a similar system that utilizes this type advantage mechanic and it is called Type Counter.Type Counter provides a 25% damage bonus and 20% Hit buff to the attacking unit when targeting an enemy type they’re effective against. There are five elements in the game: Fire, Wind, Water, Light, and Dark. The first three elements/types form a triangle (Fire > WInd > Water > Fire) while the other two (Dark and Light) can definitely hurt each other. You can refer to the chart below for more information.
In other games, type advantages usually have a detrimental effect on the attacker that’s weak against the type/element of its target. For example, if a wind-type unit attacks a fire-type, it will still deal normal damage; there’s no damage reduction as you would normally expect when similar mechanics are applied.
Knowing your heroes’ type
First, you’ll need to know your heroes’ types. Fortunately, these are displayed by default, in the top-left corner of their portraits. If you view a Hero, their type icon is also displayed on the left side of their name. This type icon placement makes it easier to identify a hero’s type, which can easily help you with forming a party when fighting specific bosses or groups of enemies.Viewing the Type Counter Chart
