Toukiden – Oni weakness guide

As it would turn out, Toukiden is a well-balanced game for the most part. Every enemy has a weakness to one or two elements. For example, the Manhunter — the large spider boss which happens to be one of the first you encounter — is weak to fire, yet strong against water. That is good to know, because you can equip a fire weapon before you head out on a mission that will see you up against a Manhunter. But the right element is not always apparent, so it helps to have an oni weakness guide that explains it all.

The information can be gleaned by reading the records section before leaving on a mission. As always however, you may not be able to read that information if you have yet to encounter the boss. For that reason, I have included a simple oni weakness guide below that outlines what each boss is strong and/or weak against.
