Wood
Wood describes living plant structure, growth, fiber, rooting, and transfer of water and stored energy through plant tissue.
Favorable in sanctioned battle Fungal about +15% damage → A damaging Wood technique receives the favorable matchup once when the target carries the listed Current.
Resisted in sanctioned battle Fire about −15% damage → A damaging Wood technique receives the resisted matchup once when the target carries the listed Current.
Native technique about +5% damage If a creature naturally carries Wood, its damaging Wood techniques receive a separate native-attunement benefit.
If a hit would otherwise deal 100 damage, a favorable matchup makes it roughly 115 and a resisted matchup makes it roughly 85. Attack, Defense, guarding, conditions, critical hits, and battle variance still affect the final number.
