ElementalRockPaperScissors is a common SubTrope if the relationship is specifically limited to special skills or magic (with regular skills/attacks classed as NonElemental), but the tactical use of RockPaperScissors relationships can in concept be extended to any aspect of any game.

game. Potentially due to the prominence of Franchise/{{Pokemon}}, tactical systems may be ColorCodedForYourConvenience as Red beats Green beats Blue beats Red, even without the elemental association of [[FireIsRed Fire]] burning [[GreenMeansNatural Grass]] absorbing [[WaterIsBlue Water]] dousing Fire.

** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'' simplifies things by grouping all weapons under four colours. Red weapons (sword, red tomes and red breath) beat green weapons (axes, green tomes, green breath), which beat blue weapons (spears, blue tomes and blue breath), which beat red weapons. There are also gray/colourless weapons (bows, daggers, and staves) which exist outside the triangle, though there are skills like -raven tomes that deal extra damage against them. Gem weapons and the Triangle Adept skills exaggerate this, as they increase damage dealt and decrease damage taken when at weapon advantage and has the reverse effect at weapon disadvantage.

** It's also worth noting, however, that a fair bit depends on how well trained a saber wielder is - for instance, Makashi, designed for sheer precision and exclusively for saber combat, is weak against blaster fire, but Dooku is good enough at it that he can pull that off anyway. Likewise, Soresu, which is designed to counter massed blaster fire and most lightsaber forms, is vulnerable to Makashi because of its sheer precision - especially with Dooku, who is perhaps the best Makashi practitioner in history. Yet Obi-Wan becomes good enough at Soresu by ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'' that Dooku can't pick his way through and is forced to resort to telekinesis to just get rid of him. Finally, Shii-Cho and Niman are characterised as MasterOfNone forms (Shii-Cho being pure basics, and Niman composed of elements of all of the first five forms), with Shii-Cho being seen as Lightsabers 101 and Niman as the easy pass for the NonActionGuy. But when wielded by a Master, it's different: Shii-Cho is noted as incredibly unpredictable and borderline ConfusionFu, great for multiple opponents or opponents with multiple arms, such as Grievous. Niman, meanwhile, supposedly takes a decade to truly master, verges on MasterOfAll in the right hands such as Exar Kun, one of the greatest Jedi or Sith swordsmen of all time, is the foundation of dual sabre combat, and is key to using the Force in combination with a lightsabre.
