Alloy (type)

The **Alloy type** (Japanese: **合金タイプ** *Gōkin taipu*) is one of the thirty one types. The color that represents this type is Silver.

## Type Effectiveness Explanations

### Weaknesses

####  Chi

It's a classic strong-man feat to be able to bend steel with their raw muscles.

#### Ground

Soil can erode and dull metals to the point where they are no longer useful.

####  Fire

A nod to the Chinese elements where Fire beats Metal by causing it to melt due to being able to conduct heat much easier than all other kinds of "earth" elements.

####  Gravity

Magnets and heavy objects often tend to damage machinery.

####  Omni

It's the ultimate type thus can beat this type easy.

### Resistances

####  Normal  &  Anatomy

A regular animal or person being can only either scratch or dent certain metals.

####  Mind

A reference to how tin/aluminum foil hats are believed by conspiracy theorists to shield people's minds from mind control and mind reading.

####  Flying  & Crystal

Both birds and stronger crystals can only put a scratch on metals.

####  Undead

An undead beings can only either scratch or dent certain metals/Alloy-types have nerves of steel.

#### Stone

Rocks can only slightly dent stronger metals.

#### Sinister

Robots can easily avoid dirty tricks/Alloy-types have nerves of steel.

####  Dragon

Knights wear metal armor to protect themselves from the dragon's physical attacks.

### Immunities

####  Magic

Fairies and werecreatures are commonly shown to be repelled by/unable to touch specific metals, and robots are often shown to be impervious to magic.

#### Poison

Most Alloy types are either inorganic (Thus can't be poisoned in that respect) or just covered with a more or less airtight impenetrable shell.

#### Ice

Since most alloys are harder than ice they can't get harmed by ice.

#### Grass

Herbaceous plants can't penatrate armor plating.

####  Sky

Wind on its own can't do any harm to technology directly.

### Absorptions

#### **Alloy**

Alloy is made from combining multiple metals and technology can be enhanced/repaired with more machinery.

#### Electric

Most machines are powered by electricity.

### Beats

####  Magic

The Alloy-type represents technological and scientific advancements which are opposite to the mystic and magical Magic-type, thus representing the concept of science destroying magic.

#### Crystal

Metal based materials are commonly used to carve out crystals.

#### Tree

People use axes, saws and various kinds of technology to cut down trees/cut wood.

### Chips

#### Water

Alloys can't hurt aquatic life that much underwater.

### Can't Hurt

####  Undead

Ghosts are commonly shown to effortlessly possess technology and metal doesn't harm most undead beings.

####  Sky

Clouds and winds cannot be harmed by alloys.

####  Gravity

Strong magnets are able to immobilize technology completely by pinning it down with sheer pulling force.

### Heals

#### **Alloy**

Alloy is made from combining multiple metals and technology can be enhanced/repaired with more machinery.

####  Cosmic

Aliens are often shown to be able to use advance technology to augment themselves via genetic engineering.

####  Fire

Molten alloys can create fires as easy as fire itself.

####  Sound

Machinery can tend to be loud and cacophonous.

####  Holy

Gold is commonly associated with heaven and blood (which contains iron) is symbolic of salvation.

####  Omni

It's the ultimate type thus gets healed by this type.
