Warframe DAMAGE TYPES Explained EASY! 

cold and blast or heat is pretty good

viral or corrosive of course

Heat + Viral. It works universally with everything.

Viral and slash... Of course I enjoy using it because of your guides. I also have the corrosive/toxin and the radiation builds when I want a bit more of a challenge. Thank you for in depth guides and wonderful content. I always enjoy your videos and have a lot saved so that I can watch them while playing and actually use the guides, not to copy, but I have the memory of a goldfish. Keep up the great work and thank you again for such amazing videos.

I’m a gigachad void damage user

My Izzy-rocketswap is useless here 😭

true they should increase the levels

I mean the orokin (can't remember exact name) Simulacrum let's you go I think 25 levels higher, which helps but I agree cap should just be removed

It's prob like that to encourage using more stuff because 16 is the cap for like rivs or something but it's always nice to go even higher

An excuse to give Gara passive to everyone

Ordis did not see the value of these photonic wavelengths :P

Aaaaw thank you so much for the lovely compliment ❤️ Welcome back to the game. Hope you have a blast :D

Haha no, I can not see myself switching off of Warframe. I have tried TFD as well though. Seems fine so far 😉

Hahaha you're welcome xD

Happy I could help ^-^ Thank you for the lovely feedback

Aaaaw really happy that you found it so helpful. Thank you

Then you will have multiple combined elements on your weapon ;)

i dont know if its possible considering the limited mod slots and then also base elements combining into other elements like corrosive. but regaurdless it wont be a very good damage build generally because of being unable to narrow down on a specific damage type or base damage. plus certain factions are weak to certain elements so it isnt efficient anyways. hope this helps :)

Then you have a fucking useless weapon. Congratulations 👏👏👏👏🎉🎉. 🙄🤦🤦🤦

Hahaha well said xD

Hahaha let me guess, r/warframe? xD Thank you so much for your super sweet words, though

Amazing! Happy you found it helpful ❤️

thats.. a LOT of mod slots just for elements

I got blast corro and maybe rad if i think i have space, or i just go blast elec for aoe

@@Faze_Obama53 not necessarily thanks to the new radiation mods(focus radon?). The setup works best with a base stat of heat or toxin though. Then you can just run toxin, cold, radiation. I’d have to go back and look at what weapons i’ve been able to effectively run it on and get back to you. Currently i’ve been playing around with Excal Umbra and my exalted blade is running. Viral, Heat, Rad and that seems to be giving me the best results of all the combinations. Viral electric and slash are also solid with melee when you add melee influence

Before the rework, Heat, Viral, and Slash were my go-tos. After the rework, they're still very useful, so I haven't changed up very many of my weapon loadouts.

@@ErikMikkelsen1 same here. Still trying to make some blast corrosive builds work but it still seems like i’m getting best general results from viral slash heat builds.

that one just means adding Base Damage (like Serration or Honetstrike) to non-radial damage on weapon's hit, not adding new damage type

sounds very niche

It inflicts Slash xD

Thank you for the suggestion. I'll see what I can do ;)

Well I have a GI channel so I had the footage right there xD

Disagree... I use her routinely. Crowd control, finishers, sneaking and damage options, plus total armor strip aug and extra damage? C'mon, it's practically boring.

@seethlaemmert5175 womp womp cope harder No u right..and I I should have been more specific I meant she is ass for me I don't play meta stuff As a quadratic scaling oberon main I like janky weird synergies so I was just disappointed I couldn't do weird blast stuff with her Ik she is good ...just not good for me lol

@@jenex7623 if nothing else, get Ban's helminth power, silence. I have that on protea, wth the aug. Either one of them are fast, so you can just instant finish lots of mobs, then (Bansh again) use your sonar for ridiculous damage with about any weapon... With a partner getting the same benefits from you just being there. I've done steel path with Ban like that, and mine is made of tissue! It is a bunch of fun. Mod for duration, give it a try!

That's a status effect, not a damage type

I also heard that Limbo's 2nd is considered as a status effect. Surprising, wonder how it'll work with mecha set.

okay i looked it up on wiki and it says that for example slash deals 35% of base damage over 6 second, so its like that, burn deals 50% and you need to look on wiki to see other.

True. Happy I finally got to it ^^

ewww long paragraph writing 🤓 over here🤮

Generally you want to be fluid, although each faction has its own weakness Ie: magnetic or viral for corpus, heat/corrosive for grineer, heat for infested, radiation for corrupted. Although if you feel like just keeping one without changing i recommend either slash or corrosive (on your main weapon)

Blast was terrible against any type of armor. Now with health types gone, it works against everything.

Blast is really cool now, indeed :D Enjoy!

@chainsawplayin Well, that & its ability to actually do meaningful damage has been boosted into the stratosphere, now that the blasts apply to stacks and deaths in a respectable range. I'm gonna enjoy using this on those damn splitters & centipedes on Deimos. Now if only it was useful in Eidolon hunts.😅

It was more than 10 years ago xD

Happy I could help ^^ Thank you for the nice feedback

That would indeed open up tons of options :O

Maiby with primed firestorm

Check out his assault rifle video he posted 3 months ago, he talks about kuva chakkurr there around the 6min mark

This 😉

like he said, the difference between 98% armor reduction and 100% armor reduction is not noticeable in game. full strip is great, but if you're going for the specific type of build he was discussing, then it's not really necessary and that archon slot is better used on something else.

Would like to see a showdown between her and Excalibur.... Excalibur would not enjoy this :P

So your saying i spent a week trying to build a fun to turn corpus to dust Just for it to not work G r e a t

@@namedless everything other then the electric proc works as intended from what i been able to gather and test

India? o.O

@@MHBlacky_ENG no VietNam :)

-Mom, can we have viral? -No, we have viral at home Viral at home:

There is a timer on corrosive status procs, though the Hydroid warframe with his plunder ability can make it permanent

Thank you :D Glad you liked it ^^

Been a while, indeed xD

Fortuna burnout is real also took a 3 year break and came back last year these days I play in small doses

Thank you so much

Welcome to the game ❤️ Happy I could help 😉

Bro focus on ur quests for now focus on primes and so on later, get inaros and do the sacrifice for the umbra mods, slap hem on inaros try and get an adaptation from trade chat for like 15-20 P and slap it on boom u won't die in two hits do all ur quests and gather mods like blind rage transient fortitude and so on before you try and get a fully loaded archon shard saryn prime nuking steel path XD

@@MegaJo123456789 Just answer the question and not tell the person how to play the game lol

That's a tricky question to answer and i am just someone who have 1k hours so i will try my best, my goto for telling beginners is "Grab Rhino, Get Hek and Xoris, then start building for endgame" But that's not the answer you are looking for. First of all priority wise Frames>Weaps(Yes all 3)>Companion>Operator(i assume you are talking about amp and focus school) Their relationship feel like stacking deck of card to make a pyramid without the other it will fall apart, but here is the logic for my placements Good frames with bad weapon will get you overrun since you can't kill but you can compensate with some tanky frames like Revenant or Rhino to tank but eventually you will still get overrun. while "bad frames" with good weapon can go through some part of the game, their weakness will be apparent since you will start to struggle since your frames ability doesn't support you. I don't believe there is bad Frames for say more like too niche to be used or you use it in the wrong mission like Revenant might be immortal but those defense objective aren't or Nyx ability might be cool as hell then you realize isn't as useful in like 80% of the situation XD companion are impactful in what they do for example Carrier for those weapons that have ammo issue, Panzer Vulpa for those Viral, or Smeeta for those random buff. But as long as you have Vacuum/Fetch you can sideline them for a bit and focus on the other stuff first. Operator is a weird ones since you can just slap Zenurik for like 80% of the content and call it day. Then you have Madurai for Cascade and Eido. Amp and Operator Arcane will be more impactful when you finally reach Zariman to kill thraxes and void angels, while the amps you got from the questlines (Sirocco, not Mote) is decent enough it doesn't hold up to what you can make and WILL falloff at higher lvl. This is just my opinion tho, also i am talking about casual/new players not the Shield Gate lvl cap master that can literally go in mission with anything and it will work somehow. Still this is an opinion and feel free to question me about this.

Whooooop :D

I don't think it's additive. Otherwise, we wouldn't even need to run damage arcanes or Serration, as long as we had Viral.

The vid or your favourite element? :P

Vid

Early Bird here, it seems :P

Which I have mentioned 😉

@MHBlacky_ENG yeah ur right. You do mention it. Spoke too soon.

I would assume Magnetic is the new option because magnetic has a bonus against all corpus now, including health and robotics. If your weapon has magnetic innately like a Kuva weapon you could add viral for self explanatory reasons

Frost ist heftig. Keine Frage :O

Yes

Nice one :D Sub 5 Minute Gang ^^

Equinox am, is, are everything

@@Yushulhul Xaku is the saladframe, Equinox is 2 in one but both are female

@@Vic-ww8cg really? I thought that one is a male and another is female

@@Yushulhul Yeah I thought that too but I saw the trivia at the bottom of the wiki page

Yes, because it works like the crit chance, 100% = yellow crit, 200% = orange crit etc. If you have 200% status chance, you can apply two instances of a status effect at once

@@Marshall85BP OH! Thank you :)

Yep, exactly ^^

It’s mainly based on what faction you’re fighting or the weapons stats. Since Phantasma is a status weapon you wanna focus on status damage, different status effects, and multishot. Once you unlock arcanes it further boosts the damage even though it’s just status effects

That's the cool thing, any damage type works on any gun 😉 Just note that weapons with low status chance are generally bad when you want to trigger many status effects 😉

it doesn't

Unfortunately not because the armor strip from them is multiplicative and not addditive :/

@@MHBlacky_ENG ohhh okay thanks man

Girl Power! I don't see anything wrong here :P

mods like Internal Bleeding can cause Impact damage to also deal Slash damage so i wouldn't say ignore them completely (just make sure you've mastered the weapon before selling it)

Depends on the weapon. Primary and secondary weapons have a mod that replace most of the impact statuses with bleed. Primary can also get an arcane that gives energy on an impact effect. Some impact-dominant weapons (mostly hammers) also have a gimmick to build around, if that's something you like. If you like getting buffs from mercy (parazon) finishers, that's the type that impact opens enemies up to. Beyond that, some later content incentivizes owning a variant of every weapon, so if you have the space, and you care about being that optimized, I'd keep the weapons, but maybe don't invest too much until you have resources to burn.

Not really. Weapons that deal mainly impact can still be good if you mod for either hunter adrenaline or the more efficient option of using elemental mods. There’s also other build options mentioned in this comment section that also talk about the potential of the weapons. It’s just about trying to understand what the weapon needs from your mods

Id say blast is better in general but in a niche case where you use rakta dark dagger to survive which was shown in MHblacky's volt/saryn build then gas is better

Blast and Gas are optimal in almost the exact same circumstances, so it's hard to answer that question. My current take on it is that Blast is easier to use, but Gas can be stronger in the most optimal scenario. Said scenario being grouped up, armor striped enemies, in a narrow corridor, and procing the status effect from head shots. Mostly because in that scenario, Blast will kill everyone, and you will need to wait for them spawn and be in a good spot to continue killing them, but Gas clouds will just clean the corridor until their time runs out, and only them do you need to group and proc it again, so there is less maintenance of grouping for at least a couple seconds after every culling.

Hmmm... I'd say if the enemy has a weakness to either then of course pick that. Beyond that, for Blast you need to keep shooting to get the chain reaction, Gas creates the cloud and then you can stop and wait for a couple of seconds. Whatever fits your build best 😉

@@MHBlacky_ENG thank you!
