The elements of the Dinosaurs realm

Three ecosystems define every creature's identity, defenses and fighting style.

Which defense receives the attack?

The attacker’s element selects the opposing defense used, regardless of the defender’s element. No element automatically wins against another: compare card values and effects. The counters described are profile tendencies, not automatic bonuses.

  • Fossil attack → opposing Fossil defense

Without special effects, 20 attack against 8 defense deals 12 base damage: 20 − 8 = 12. If defense meets or exceeds attack, it blocks that attack. Equipment, relics and other effects can change this calculation.

Understand damage calculation

Fossil

Solid Health and strong Fossil Defense. Its creatures hold up better against Sky, while Swamp can find an opening.

Sky

High Attack, strong Sky Defense and pressure against Swamp. Fossil can still break through these often fragile creatures.

Swamp

Strong Health and Swamp Defense. Its creatures threaten Fossil, but Sky remains a natural counter.

Choose your pack's instinct

Fossil, Sky and Swamp form a flexible cycle. Choose mutations to press an advantage or cover a weakness.
