Battle-Pet Strength Logic
Posted: December 18th, 2013, 9:46 pm
A friend of mine mentioned that he has a hard time remembering which pet families are strong against what other. I gave him this list and he thought it was awesome. So I thought I'd pass it on here. This is how I remember which is strong against the other, and I made this up because I have a hard time remembering lists without any reasoning behind it.
There seems to be a logic behind how blizzard set it up, which corresponds with the real world... well, real world logic anyway. The only one I haven't figured out the logic to yet is Magical Vs Birds. But as long as I have all the others down that one is easy to remember.
So for all the Left Brain thinkers out there...
- Birds eat Fish.
- Water puts out Fire. (Aquatic kills Elemental)
- Elements are bad for Machinery.
- Traps kill Beasts (Mechanical Vs Beast) .
- Cats kill Mice. (Beasts kill Critters)
- Critters eat Corpses (Undead).
- Zombies eat (Human) brains.
- Knights (Humans) slay Dragons.
- Dragons are made by magic and are therefor strong against Magical.
- Magic kills Birds (because I guess they have nothing else to do???)
Now I haven't worked out defense yet. Not beyond "water cleans filth" for Aquatic has strong defense against undead.
