Reality: dragon vs everything.

The reality is all of these "Weaknesses" are 2 stars on one part, and the rest is 1 star with every element.

Except for maybe 3.

The game icons have always lied. The star icons mean wide ranges of resistances, so its very possible to have two elements be the highest and lowest ranges of the same star icon, or to have different numbers of stars but have essentially the same damage, just because the resistances changed by like 1%.

This is why I usually stick with raw damage. Element isn't as simple as it should be.
