− | [[Weapons]] and [[mice]] have one of the following '''Power Types''': [[Physical]], [[Tactical]], [[Shadow]], [[Forgotten]], [[Arcane]] or [[Hydro]]. [[Bases]] do not have Power Types. The Power Type of a trap is determined by the weapon component. The Power Type of a weapon determines its [[effectiveness]] against a particular mouse. The Power Type of a mouse often determines which type of trap will be effective against it, but traps of a given Power Type may have a different effectiveness on different mice within a Power Type. For example, while non-physical traps are effective against most physical mice, this is not true of the physical mice of [[Derr Dunes]], where weapons that are not physical are less effective. In addition, the effectiveness of a given weapon type against a mouse may depend on where the mouse is found (for example, in the case of the Dwarf mouse). See the page on [[Effectiveness]] for the specific effect a weapon's power type has on a mouse. | |

− | In many cases, the following generalizations about effectiveness can be made with respect to weapon and mouse Power Type:
| |
− | *Physical weapons are of normal effectiveness against physical mice and tactical mice in the early game, and less effective against other types.
| |
− | *Tactical weapons are especially effective against tactical mice and normal against most physical mice.
| |
− | *Shadow weapons are especially effective against shadow mice and normal against forgotten and most physical mice, though their low power means they are not particularly useful against these mice.
| |
− | *Arcane weapons are especially effective against forgotten mice and normal against shadow mice and most physical mice.
| |
− | *There is currently no trap effective against Arcane mice.
| |
− | *There is currently no trap of the forgotten type.
| |
− | *Hydro weapons are effective against hydro mice and most physical mice.
| |
− | | |
− | Many hunting [[Location|locations]] have a preponderance of mice of a given Power Type. For example, in the [[Mousoleum]], shadow mice dominate. As such, certain weapon Power Types are more suited, and often required for successful hunting, in certain locations.
