Updated for Version 8.2
Character and Enemy Types
There are currently 6 types in Honkai Impact. A character or enemy can only have one type.
- Biologic (BIO)
- Mechanical (MECH)
- Psychic (PSY)
- Quantum (QUA)
- Imaginary (IMG)
- Stardust (SD)
- Enemies can also be typeless
Type Counter Relationship

Image above shows the relationship between types.
- Straight line means type advantage / effective against / strong against.
- Dotted line means type disadvantage / not effective against / weak against.
Examples:
- PSY valks deal more damage against MECH enemies, but deal less damage against BIO enemies.
- IMG valks deal more damage against IMG enemies, but deal less damage against QUA enemies.
Type Counter Bonus
When a valk attacks an enemy with type advantage, the valk deals 30% more damage.
In Abyss mode, the bonus damage becomes even stronger in Type Counter weather: Type counter effect is 20% stronger.
BIO, MECH, PSY
BIO, MECH and PSY types are the first types in the game. These characters / enemies do not have any type-exclusive mechanic besides type counter bonus.
Quantum
QUA Enemies
- QUA enemies have a QUA shield. When the shield is active, the QUA enemy takes reduced damage and have higher anti-interrupt.
- A QUA enemy can have multiple stacks of QUA shields.
QUA Characters
- QUA characters have abilities that can immediately remove stack(s) of QUA shield.
- Sparkle can insta-kill QUA enemies below 10% HP.
Imaginary
IMG Enemies
- IMG enemies have two HP bars - shell hp and seed hp.
- Your attacks will hit shell hp first. When shell hp bar is depleted, the seed will be exposed, and now you can attack the seed.
- When seed is exposed, the shell will gradually restore HP. If seed HP is full, it will return to normal, and you have to attack the shell again.
IMG Characters
- Some IMG characters have abilities that can transfer a portion dmg dealt from the shell to the seed.
- Some IMG characters can insta-kill IMG seed once it is below a certain HP treshold.
Stardust
SD Enemies
- SD enemies utilize ‘regular HP’ bar and ‘Max HP’ bar.
- SD enemies have critical points on their HP bar. When the HP bar reaches the critical point:
- SD remnants will drop. Any valk can collect the SD remnants to deal big damage to the enemy.
- They will enter Consolidated state. During this state, attacks will deal damage to Max HP bar.
- After a certain duration, SD enemy will return to its normal state, and your attacks will deal damage to regular HP bar again.
SD Characters
- SD characters have abilities that can instantly gather SD remnants, and the remnant dmg is stronger.
- Jovial Deception can instantly trigger critical point.
- Ba-dum! can reduce 8% of Max HP bar.
