How to tell energy damage or physical damage in game

How can I tell if an attack is energy or physical in game if the description doesn't say. For non mystic, I can use torch to check for that. What about mystics or other champs in general? Auntmai isn't getting updated regularly, so it's difficult to tell with newer champs especially when it comes to nodes or champs that punish or reward one type of damage over the other.

    Torch for non mystic and awakened Ultron to test mystic champs.
    You can get the newer champs easily as 3*s at least from arena and test them in practice mode.
    Unfortunately if their description doesn’t specify which attacks are physical or energy, this is an efficient way to find out.
    Unless you want to wait on Auntmai to update the newer champ descriptions 🙂

    If you want to know on the fly there’s really no way of knowing for sure but usually if the attack looks like energy then it’s usually energy and if it looks like physical then it’s usually physical it’ll be something you have to look out for like cgr’s first and last mediums are energy and his special attacks but his light attacks aren't, also sunspots basic attacks are physical but his specials are energy

    I thought it was the size of their fist? But seriously, @MarvelNoob has the answer already.
    I personally like to get wrecked in BG to see these interactions. For example, I used Shuri for Havoc and found that I can lose in 10s so I will not do that in AW.

    :D Thanks for the input, but looks like you both just read the title and not the post itself.

    By this logic, you would think Future antman's special attacks are all energy. But only his last hit of sp2 is energy. It's not always easy to tell

    That’s why i said usually not always but usually and it’s something you have to look out for
