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

Icon

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

  1. QUA enemies have a QUA shield. When the shield is active, the QUA enemy takes reduced damage and have higher anti-interrupt.
  2. A QUA enemy can have multiple stacks of QUA shields.

QUA Characters

  1. QUA characters have abilities that can immediately remove stack(s) of QUA shield.
  2. Sparkle can insta-kill QUA enemies below 10% HP.

Imaginary

IMG Enemies

  1. IMG enemies have two HP bars - shell hp and seed hp.
  2. 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.
  3. 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

  1. Some IMG characters have abilities that can transfer a portion dmg dealt from the shell to the seed.
  2. Some IMG characters can insta-kill IMG seed once it is below a certain HP treshold.

Stardust

SD Enemies

  1. SD enemies utilize ‘regular HP’ bar and ‘Max HP’ bar.
  2. 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.
  3. 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

  1. SD characters have abilities that can instantly gather SD remnants, and the remnant dmg is stronger.
  2. Jovial Deception can instantly trigger critical point.
  3. Ba-dum! can reduce 8% of Max HP bar.
