Character strengths vs weaknesses chart...

Something I wanted to work on was making descriptions on how some of my newer characters would have certain strengths and weaknesses to each member of the Deadly Trio. This is a tentative list and I may need help explaining how certain characters could be effective against others.

The characters in question are:
Pema (Fawn Marionette, Wisdom)
Thich (Snake Plush, Strength)
Rumi (Undecided, probably going to be a Fox Plush, Agility)

vs.

Iugulare (Stoat Infection, Wisdom)
Anirapio (Dragon Alien, Agility)
Nekumbra (Spider Doe Mutant, Strength)


So here's what I have...

Pema is strong against Anirapio because Pema can tangle Anirapio with her strings. Keeping Anirapio subdued for a certain length of time will cause her to become malnourished and weakened due to her high metabolism. (Wisdom > Agility)
Pema and Iugulare are evenly matched because Pema knows Iugulare's weaknesses, but Iugulare is intimidating to Pema and can easily scare her to retreat. (Wisdom = Wisdom)
Pema is weak against Nekumbra because Nekumbra can cut her strings and puppet her with spider webbing. Also Nekumbra would relentlessly pursue Pema since she is a fawnkiller. (Wisdom < Strength)

Thich is strong against Iugulare because his body can absorb infection. (Strength > Wisdom)
Thich and Nekumbra are evenly matched because Thich could constrict Nekumbra just as easily as Nekumbra could trap Thich with spider webbing. (Strength = Strength)
Thich is weak against Anirapio because Thich is not quick enough to outrun Anirapio, and can be easily devoured. (Strength < Agility)

Rumi is strong against Nekumbra because he can easily outrun her and easily trip Nekumbra's clumsy spider legs. (Agility > Strength)
Rumi and Anirapio are evenly matched as they both would be agile and could give chase when necessary. (Agility = Agility)
Rumi is weak against Iugulare because he is easily manipulated by her infection. (Agility < Wisdom)


So I think I came up with a pretty neat triangulation here:

Strength is strong against Wisdom but weak against Agility
Agility is strong against Strength but weak against Wisdom
Wisdom is strong against Agility but weak against Strength

I'll have to do something cool with all of this...

I love how you're getting

I love how you're getting into detail with all of this. I love reading details and whatnot. Probably I tend to ramble about the little details a bit too much myself.

This is really neat! I like how you used the rock-paper-scissors method. Simple, but effective.

I couldn't think of

I couldn't think of Rock-Paper-Scissors to describe it XD!! I actually was thinking along the lines of Fire Emblem - Sword beats Axe, Axe beats Spear, Spear beats Sword. Same concept anyway.

I'll certainly write out a big fight scene one day where all of this is involved. It'll be challenging but fun!

That too xD. I was also

That too xD. I was also thinking of pokemon's: water beats fire, fire beats plant, plant beats water. I'm such a nerd (even though I haven't played pokemon since who knows when).

I think it'd definitely be challenging. The question is, who would end up fighting whom? It'll be interesting to see, that's for sure. ^^
