Type

Loomian Type is a feature which determines the strengths and weaknesses of different Loomians that every Loomian possesses and are sorted into. It is an attribute that mainly balances out Loomians, and helps to make each kind of Loomian unique in its own way.

There are currently 17 Loomian types. Each type has three properties: which types of Loomian it is super effective against, which types of Loomian it is not very effective against, and which types of Loomian it is completely ineffective against. There exists a hidden 18th type, the "Null" type, in which every type hits it neutrally, and Null-type attacks hit every type neutrally. However, no Loomians have this type by default.

All Loomians either have one or two types. For instance, Embit is a pure Fire-type Loomian, while Duskit is a dual Spirit/Mind-type Loomian. Loomians with two types inherit the weaknesses and strengths of each type. These modifiers multiply together to get the Loomian's defensive effectiveness, which can result in major weakness or resistance when both types are similarly weak or strong to a type, neutral effectiveness when both types have opposing effectiveness, or immunity if at least one type is immune to the attacking type.
