Monster Types in New World
In Amazon’s MMORPG New World, each monster you come across, whether it is an humanoid or a beast or anything else in-between is classified between one of the five types. Namely, they are Ancients, Corrupted, Angry Earth, The Lost (Ghosts) and Beasts (All Animals). With the exception of Beast type monsters, each monster has strengths and weaknesses towards each weapon and elemental type.
In Game Damage Icons
New World makes it easy and convenient to tell in game what weapon type you are using when you are damaging a certain monster type along with a color coded indicating that whether you are either strong or weak against it. An icon will appear next to the damage value accompanied by a small arrow above indicating whether you are doing additional damage. However, if there are small arrows below the icon, this indicates that the monster is resistant and you are doing reduced damage.
- Strong = Increased damage – Color Coded Yellow
- Weak = Decreased damage – Color Coded Blue
- Normal = No modifiers added – Color Coded White
