Learn about the Mechanical, Biological, and Alchemical disciplines in Monster Train, including their strengths and weaknesses.

There are three disciplines of the Mad Sciences in Monster Train: Mechanical, Biological, and Alchemical.

The Mechanical discipline involves all things made of machines, such as firearms, power tools, cars, planes, and trains. These parts deal high damage, have an Explosive effect, and use high Energy, but thankfully provide lots of Energy too. Mechanical is good for the squishy Biological but poor against the Magical Alchemical.

The Biological discipline deals with living things, whether plant or animal. All the deadly aspects of nature from plants to insects to animals, as well as a few surgically improved humans, can be found here. While not as strong overall as Mechanical, Biological is very good at attacking single parts. Many of its parts are agile, either for attacking first or dodging frequently. Biology cannot handle the inorganic Mechanical but does well versus the subtle Alchemical.

The Alchemical discipline encompasses whatever is magical, mythical, and undead. Many of its parts are difficult to destroy, possessing high health and the ability to heal. They are also the parts that frequently attack the Sinister Arm. The Alchemical realms can deal easily with the purely physical Mechanical, and are weak to the scientific Biological.
