In Soul Guardian, you get to battle a lot of different opponents with your team. Each team member that you have will have a corresponding elemental type, and this will determine their strengths as well as their weaknesses. There are a lot of types that you’ll find in the game as well, so you will want to know which ones are effective.

In our Type Effectiveness Guide, which check how Types work in Soul Guardian so you can plan out on your battles in order to get the best results. Let’s check out what’s in store with this mechanic below!


What are Types?

So, what are types? When starting out in Soul Guardian, you’ll get to pick out your partner. You can either choose Fire, Grass, and Water and this can be a good example for learning out the type advantages. Fire beats Grass, Grass beats Water, and Water beats Fire.

However, there are a lot of types in the game, and there are some who have dual types as well which can either give them more weaknesses, or even better resistances. When fighting an opponent, you can check your moves to see if they are effective or not. When choosing damage dealing moves, you can either have the following effects:

  • Super Effective – Your moves deal 2x Damage

  • Not Very Effective – Your moves deal 0.5x Damage

  • Super Effective (Double) – Deals x4 Damage (If opponent has two types that are weak to your attack)

  • Immunity – Your moves have no effect

    By learning your type match ups, you will be able to create a balanced team that can help cover each other’s weaknesses. Moves of different types can also be learned in the game that can help you out. Also, you can get bonuses for using moves if its type is the same as your partner’s type as well.
