#REDIRECT [[Weapons#Power Type]]
 
 
The '''Power Type''' is an attribute of [[weapons]] that determines their [[effectiveness]] against certain mice, and an attribute of [[mice]] determining their susceptibility to such weapons. The effectiveness of weapons of particular power type may differ against certain mice or in certain locations.
 
 
 
There are currently five different power types:
 
 
 
* [[Physical]]
 
* [[Tactical]]
 
* [[Shadow]]
 
* [[Forgotten]]
 
* [[Arcane]]
 
* [[Hydro]]
 
 
 
[[Bases]] do not have Power Types. The Power Type of a trap is determined by the weapon component.
 
 
 
Many hunting [[location]]s 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.
 
 
 
== Effectiveness Chart ==
 
This following chart lists a generalization of the effectiveness of the 6 existing Trap Power Types against the different Mouse Power Types. There are some exceptions to the chart, and these have been noted in the exceptions section underneath the chart.
