Each hero and villain belong to one of four special 'types' and each is stronger or weaker than the other. Combat Characters are melee fighters, Blast types have effective ranged attacks, Speed fighters deal damage with super fast strikes and Universal characters are balanced in all areas. Combat counters Speed, Blast counters Combat and Speed counters Blast. Universal-types fighters aren’t particularly strong or weak against any other type.
