Damage of attack type/ damage types

[pOke]

Hello, I was making a spell today and triggering its damage when I noticed it was not properly damaging the units, so after some wasted time looking in all the wrong places, I came to the actual damage !...

The units were ethereal/banished and I was trying to damage them with
damage Spells and damage type Normal, but it doesn't work. Without going and checking all these different types, does anyone by chance know which ones would work? (Magic/Normal does, however I'm concerned that since banished units take more magic damage it will deal extra damage but I haven't actually tested yet.)

Furthermore is there actually a difference between all these different types?

Thanks for any knowledge!

it is Attack Type not Damage of Attack Type. Yes, it differs. Basically from Armors. Try using Chaos Attack Type and Divine Damage type.

Yes, there are difference in each Damages and Damage types, it depends. If one damage type counters and resis that damage example, Magic to Large, of course it will be reduced. And if one damage type deals more damage to that armor, of course it will deal more damage like Pierce to Heavy. Let us just say that base the damage from the Armor types and Damage types.

Yes there's a difference as both of em has said.. But I don't think there is with the ones found at the triggers (fire, poison etc.. except universal and some other types)

Yea, kind of wondering with those types. But searching will really do good and here's is a link: https://www.google.com.ph/search?q=...F-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=ie7&rlz=1I7IRFE_enPH481

To damage ethereal units, you must use Spells or Magic attack type. If you use Spells, you must also use Magic or Universal as damage type.

Or just edit all the damage types the way you'd prefer?
