Introduction

In Warframe every target has specific weaknesses and resistances to different damage types. All of the damage that you deal with your weapons or abilities belong to a specific damage type. You can utilize this information to exploit enemy weaknesses to greatly improve your damage output. The information below outlines the damage type vs enemy type in warframe.

Damage Type vs Enemy Type in Warframe

If an enemy is vulnerable (V) to a damage type then you will deal 1.5x the damage or 50% more damage to that enemy. However, if an enemy is resistant (R) to a particular damage type you will deal 0.5x or 50% less damage to that enemy.
