ASTD element chart
Updated 2026-10-18. Numbers below are tied to the sources at the end of this page.
Do not use one triangle for both games. OG enchants and X colors are different pages with different multipliers.
OG enchant matrix
Rows attack columns. Water beats Fire, Fire beats Nature, Nature beats Electric, Electric beats Water. Holy and Dark both deal 3x to each other; they are not disadvantaged against each other. Unrelated enchants and same-enchant attacks are neutral. The 1/3 cells follow Enchants; Beginners Guide conflicts at 0.25x. No match was re-tested here. Enchant Swap and Enchant Rotation can modify the base matchup.
| Attacker / enemy | Water | Fire | Nature | Electric | Holy | Dark |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Water | 1x | 3x | 1x | 1/3x | 1x | 1x |
| Fire | 1/3x | 1x | 3x | 1x | 1x | 1x |
| Nature | 1x | 1/3x | 1x | 3x | 1x | 1x |
| Electric | 3x | 1x | 1/3x | 1x | 1x | 1x |

ASTD X color matrix
Rows attack columns. Blue beats Red, Red beats Orange, Orange beats Purple, Purple beats Green, Green beats Blue. The reverse pairing is 0.25x; unrelated and same colors remain 1x. This is not the OG enchant chart.

Questions
Does Fire beat Nature in ASTD X?
X does not use those names. Use the five-color ring. Fire and Nature are OG enchant words.
