What is Earth super effective against?
Earth attacks deal super-effective damage against Ice, but the second type Earth is strong against is unsettled: it is given as both Fire and Lightning, and the Lightning version would make Earth a major threat to lightning-based compositions.
This one is not settled.
Both versions are shown because the disagreement is itself information — usually it means the mechanic changed between beta builds.
Super-effective Earth skills deal 1.6 times normal damage against vulnerable targets.
Elemental advantage is determined entirely by the ability used rather than the casting Aniimo's personal type. Exploiting an enemy weakness requires selecting an Earth skill on your active kit, which lets Aniimo of different elements trigger the 1.6x multiplier if they carry Earth abilities.
Matchup Impact
Most elements deal super-effective damage against two affinities. When Earth is configured against Lightning, Earth encounters pose a major threat to lightning-based team compositions.
Attacking into a resisted element reduces damage to 0.5 to 0.6 times normal damage, cutting output down to a 0.625x modifier. Checking matchups on the in-game elemental type chart prevents casting Earth abilities into unfavorable affinities.
Not settled: Earth's full matchup profile remains unsettled in the game data, which alternates between listing Earth as super effective against Lightning and listing it against Fire alongside Ice.
