Aniimo uses a nine-element system: Grass, Fire, Electric, Rock, Wind, Water, Holy, Dark, and Ice. Damage modifiers on matchups are ×1.6 for super effective and ×0.625 for not very effective; neutral matchups don't modify damage. There is no immunity system — multipliers only range from ×0.625 to ×1.6.

Dual types and skill elements
Aniimo can have single or dual types. Named dual-types include Inferlupa (Dark / Fire), Glacy (Ice / Water), and Leafy (Water / Grass). Individual skills can also have elements that differ from the Aniimo's primary element — check each skill in combat before assuming a matchup applies.

Practical application
Type matchups apply significant damage bonuses, so maintaining at least two different elements in any 4-slot squad is recommended to keep a usable matchup on hand. The community tier list notes Grass as the leading SS element (Thornblade, Irisalis both Grass) and Rock as the leading defensive element. Grass counter-picks Rock and Water; Rock counter-picks Electric and Ice. Knowing two counter-pick directions is enough for most boss fights. Dual-type rules aren't officially documented — when you face a dual-type boss, apply the worst matchup against the lineup you have, not the best. A Grass / Dark weakness to Fire gives a ×1.6; a Grass / Dark resistance to Water gives a ×0.625. Plan both. For each element, keep at least one Aniimo on your roster with a super-effective matchup against the two most common opposing elements. That keeps your squad useful across Idyll's region-by-region bosses.
