## Elements

### Fire

The fire element is resistant to fire-based attacks and the earth element, while also being weak to the water element. Fire moonberries are typically found in proximity to lava pools. Most fire-type hatchamobs mostly focus on offensive attacks and less on defensive capabilities.

### Earth

The earth element is resistant against water-types and weak towards fire-types. Earth moonberries are the most common type on land, typically growing in forests or other plant-filled regions. Hatchamobs of the earth element are very strong in terms of defense, while also dealing a lot of damage via physical attacks.

### Water

The water element is powerful against fire-types, but weak against earth types. Water moonberries can be found typically in larger bodies of water such as the ocean. Many water-type hatchamobs are relatively strong in both areas of offense and defense, and can easily disrupt the strategies of opponents.

#### Ice

Ice is a sub-category & sub-type of water, and can be extremely strong when they use surrounding water to their advantage. They can be heavy on the offensive and defensive, using ice as a form of attack of defense.

### Life

The life element is both powerful and weak to hatchamobs of the void element. Life moonberries are presumably found in forests, and regions containing many living organisms. Life-type hatchamobs primarily focus on healing, being useful in battles with multiple hatchamobs, and can be very difficult to fight against due to constant healing. However, it is difficult for life-types to deal a large amount of damage, as they mainly focus on healing.

#### Poison

Poison is a sub-category & sub-type of life, and can be very useful for life hatchamobs, as it is a reliable method to deal damage to the opposing hatchamob. Working in this category can give life-types a way of dealing more powerful attacks while still healing.

### Void

Void-type hatchamobs are both powerful and weak to life-type hatchamobs. Void moonberries are extremely rare, only being found in the end portal frames of a stronghold. Void-type hatchamobs have two primary paths; one mainly focusing on shadow teleportation, and the other focusing on nullification. The shadow path allows for the hatchamob to become a shadow or teleport through them. The nullification is less sought after, as it is mainly for negating attacks of the opposing hatchamob, while it does not have many offesive capabilities itself.

### Lightning

The lightning type was only recently introduced, and there is no information given on the strengths and weaknesses of this element. There is no information on where it is found. The lightning element is very powerful in battles, being able to deal lightning-based damage, but has attacks that take more energy and time to use.
