Mewgenics Elemental Interaction Chart

Physics-based elements — fire spreads, water conducts, ice freezes. Not documented in-game.

Interactive reference for all elemental interactions, terrain tiles, weather, and status effects. Use the matrix to see what happens when an element hits a target; use the Chain Simulator to explore multi-step terrain transformations.

Interaction Matrix

Source element

Tall Grass

Burns and destroys tile

Flower Tile

Burns and destroys tile

Tall Flower Tile

Bramble

Burns → becomes Fire tile

Water Tile

Extinguishes fire, creates Steam cloud (blocks line of sight)

Fire Tile

Frictionless Ice

Melts → becomes Water tile

Ice Spikes

Melts → becomes Water tile

Web Tile

Burns web → becomes Fire tile

Oil Puddle

Ignites oil → massive fire damage

Glass Shards

Becomes Fire tile

Creep

Lava Tile

Tar Tile

Ignites tar → massive fire

Wet Unit

Burning Unit

Frozen Unit

Removes Frozen status; unit becomes Wet

Grows → Tall Grass (+50% dodge)	Grows → Tall Flower Tile (+3 HP/mana regen, +50% dodge)	Grows → Tall Flower Tile		Grows → Thick Bramble (4 damage, 3 movement cost)		Extinguishes fire							Forms Basalt tile			Removes Burn status; unit becomes Wet
Becomes Ice Spikes (damage on walking through)	Becomes Ice Spikes (damage on walking through)			Becomes Big Ice Shards	Freezes → Frictionless Ice (units slide when knocked)	Extinguishes fire tile						Freezes → becomes Ice tile			Guarantees Freeze (Wet amplifies frost)	Applies Wet instead of Freezing
					"Toaster Bath" — shocks ALL units standing in connected water body (including allies); applies Stun							Electrifies connected creep (conducts like water)			Conducts to adjacent Wet units (AoE chain lightning); amplified damage
					Transforms into Water Current tile (pushes units at end of turn)

Creates Tall Grass tiles (50% dodge); enemies on grass tiles can take Poison 1 (Control Plants)

Special & Unique Interactions

Gravity → Battlefield

Creates Floating Glass tiles via Reality Shatter (2 dmg + Bleed, stops knockback)

Gravity → Any unit

Applies Weakness (-2 DEX/STR/SPD), Slow, or Immobilize; at full mana: Immobilize + 6 damage

Earth → Any unit

Can apply Petrify (unit becomes rock, all damage reduced to 1, extra knockback)

Earth → Any tile

Creates Dirt tile (fills water, extinguishes fire); Aftershock displaces units on dirt

Grass → Enemy on grass tile

Applies Poison 1 (DoT, stacking, ignores Armor/Holy Shield)

Holy → Allied unit

Heals allies; contextual heal abilities restore HP

Holy → Undead/Zombie unit

Damages instead of healing; Holy heals become damage against Undead

Wind → Any unit

Applies knockback; pushes units 1 space (weather) or more

Electric → Water Current Tile

Electrifies connected water current

Ice → Water Current Tile

Freezes → becomes Ice tile

Fire → Thick Bramble

Burns → becomes Fire tile

Fire → Catnip

Burns catnip → restores mana to nearby units

Fire → Adjacent food item

Cooks food (+1 STR healing value)

Water → Bomb (fuse)

Douses fuse, prevents detonation

Fire → Bomb (fuse)

Ignites fuse

Fire → Explosive Barrel

Detonates barrel

Fire → Poop Tile

Can be ignited

Fire → Thorn Tile

Becomes Fire tile

Fire → Burning unit on Water

Extinguishes burn; unit becomes Wet

Tips & Hidden Mechanics

Community-discovered tricks and edge cases. Not documented in-game.

Grass farming
Water on short grass → Tall Grass with 50% dodge; Wet units walking on grass also trigger growth.
"Number One" Desert exploit
Creating water tiles via urine before killing last enemy tricks system into "Hydrated" status, restoring post-battle healing despite Heat Wave.
Neverstone XP manipulation
Locking a cat at level 1 forces all pooled XP to actual carry cats.
Bird kill buffs
Neutral birds (Bird Migration weather) give "All Stats Up" buff + item when killed; birds fly away after a few rounds.
Steven anti-savescum
First save-quit is free; second triggers "Deja Vu" disorder (10% action cancel); third causes AI takeover of your team for next fight.
Frozen unit physics chains
Hitting frozen unit makes it slide; collision deals damage; sliding through water freezes those water tiles.
Bomb neutralization
Bombs won't activate in Rain weather or when hit with Water AoE (fuse is doused).
Fight Club room
Deliberately lowering house Comfort forces cats to fight each other; winners get random stat boosts.
Cooking mechanic
Fire tiles cook adjacent food items (increases healing value by +1 STR); burning catnip restores mana to nearby units.
Basic attack loot grab
Melee attacking an adjacent tile with a pickup item collects the item without spending movement.
