When your in the item equip chest there will be different items "HELPFUL" to that level and "AVOIDABLE" for that level.
This could really come in handy for shadow lairs, noobs, bosses, or regular levels in general so we could all see what would help fend off those types of monsters.
In the mission rooms, Basil offers recipes that should prove helpful to that level, and even if you don't buy any he still shows you basically what types you need.
I could understand this for the first few missions that introduce damage types but most players know what to use.
Just let OP have what they suggested. It's not all that game changing anyway. Anyway, im all for this suggestion.
Custom equipment loadouts may help you.
If you don't feel like memorizing which monsters are weak to which damage types, I would like to make a suggestion - you could look it up on the wiki, and, if you so choose, you could then make loadouts according to each of the monster families. Alternatively, you could go all normal-damage all the time, but in my opinion, normal damage is somewhat boring.
or you could read the depth title and subtitle and use common sense to know what's there
(also the mission briefs and comlink missions tell you things too)
