FireEmblem Rock Paper Scissors

I’ve started playing Fire Emblem: Awakening for the 3DS. I’m new to the series, and have trouble keeping the rock-paper-scissors mechanics of axe-sword-lance straight in my head. I don’t understand the logic behind one of these weapon types always doing better against another, so it’s easy for me to get them jumbled. It’s not exactly “water beats fire”, here.

I am a visual learner, however, so I made these to help me remember what beats what. A short ranged axe having an immediate advantage over a super long lance being shoved forward by someone charging on horseback might not make sense to me, but I’ll remember a rock with an axe.
