Types

Kami types

Traits also determine a Kami's Typing. Kami can have four types and, for purposes of typing, a Kami’s hands are treated separately from the rest of its body. The four types are:

• Eerie.

• Insect.

• Scrap.

• Normal.

Kami can have the same types or different types for their Body and Hands. This Kami, for instance, has a Scrap-type body and Scrap-type hands, making it a pure Scrap-type:

Alien, a double-scrap Kami.

The four types determine which Kami have advantages over other Kami when harvesting or liquidating. In liquidations:

• Eerie beats Scrap.
• Scrap beats Insect.
• Insect beats Eerie.

Normal is neither advantaged nor disadvantaged against the other types. Visualized:

Types also determine the speed at which a given Kami harvests MUSU in a room. Each room has one type, and a Kami with the same type as the room will harvest faster in that room — as well as draining HP faster.

Pure-type Kami get an even larger boost in matching rooms. A pure Kami can harvest faster in a matching room than any other type of Kamigotchi.

Kami with one Normal type and one other type get a smaller bonus in matching rooms. Bodies have more of an influence than Hands in this case.

Kami with two mixed non-Normal types get a small bonus in both types of matching rooms. They will harvest faster in rooms matching their Body than in rooms matching their Hands.

Normal type Kami harvest at the same speed in every room.
