The type chart, type by type
From the Polandball Go Wiki
This is the game's type chart read one type at a time, as the game published it in October 2026. The game can change the chart with an update, and the type chart on polbielytics always shows the current one.
1 How to read it#
Each type has two sides:
- Attacking, it is strong against some types (+1) and weak against others (−1). This side matters for a ball's primary typing, the one type it attacks with, and for an item's resonance type on Weapon hits.
- Defending, it is weak to some types and resists others. A ball with two types adds both of its scores together, so a hit lands anywhere from −2 to +2.
The British Empire is Water and Light. Nature is on Water's "weak to" list and on Light's, so a Nature hit scores +2 against it. Fire is on both "resists" lists, so a Fire hit scores −2. How much that changes the damage depends on orb levels. See Types and matchups.
2 Things that stand out#
- Balance is the safest defender in the game. Nothing is strong against it, and only Balance itself is resisted. A pure Balance ball like Switzerland can never take a boosted hit from the chart. On attack it's nearly as flat: strong only against Chaos.
- Chaos is the widest attacker. It's strong against seven types, more than any other, and weak against only Storm and Water. Defending, it resists nothing.
- Fire cuts both ways. It's strong against six types but weak against eight, and on defense it's weak to seven. Oil, by contrast, is weak only to Fire.
- Some types are strong against themselves. Chaos, Energy and Faith all hit their own type at +1, so a Chaos ball into a Chaos ball is a strong hit both ways.
- Others resist themselves. Balance, Fire, Ice, Light, Metal, Shadow and Wind are weak against their own type.
- The chart isn't a mirror. Chaos is strong against Fire, but Fire hitting Chaos is neutral.

The type chart shows any matchup both ways with the orb levels applied, and each typing has its own page, like Fire or Balance.
