Corrosive Damage

For the aura mod, see Corrosive Projection.

DAMAGE EFFICACY
x1.5 damage to Grineer
x1.5 damage to Kuva Grineer
x0.5 damage to Sentient

STATUS EFFECT
Created by combining  Toxin and  Electricity damage.

 Corrosive temporarily removes up to 80% of the target's armor value with multiple stacks.

—In-game Description

 Corrosive Damage is one of the six secondary elemental damage types, composed of  Toxin and  Electricity damage. Deals increased damage to Grineer and Kuva Grineer, but reduced against Sentient. Its Status Effect temporarily degrades enemy Armor.

Status Effects[]

General[]

The status effect of  Corrosive damage is Corrosion. It temporarily degrades the armor of the afflicted target by 26% for 8 seconds. Subsequent procs further reduce armor by 6%, culminating in a total armor reduction of 80% at 10 stacks, with each stack having its own duration. Any stacks applied after the 10th will replace the oldest stack.

 Emerald Archon Shard can increase the maximum  Corrosive status procs by +2 (+3 for  Tauforged). Applying 14 stacks can fully remove all armor for the duration of the status.

 Hydroid's passive causes enemies damaged by him to be permanently more vulnerable to  Corrosive status, with the first proc degrading 50% of armor, allowing him to have 100% armor reduction at 10 stacks. This vulnerability can come from any source of  Corrosive procs, not just from Hydroid's weapons or abilities, as long as he has damaged the enemy.

Enemies affected by a  Corrosive proc will be covered in a faint green, electricity-like substance. Enemies killed while affected by a  Corrosive proc will have their corpses partially corroded and dissolved.

 Corrosive status armor reduction is multiplicative with other armor reduction sources. This can be expressed as the following:
Armor after reduction = (1 - 50%) × [1 - (20% + 6% × Number of Corrosive stacks)] × (1 - 18% × Number Corrosive Projections)

Railjack[]

 Corrosive does not have a Railjack space counterpart and is thus not able to proc any status effect nor is it included in calculations for status proc weighting.

Tips[]

•  Corrosive damage can be combined with  Viral damage (when applicable) to create a deadly damage combo against enemies with armor, especially the Grineer. The reduction of armor will lessen the reduction of damage, while viral procs will increase damage dealt even further.
•  Corrosive pairs well with weapons that do primarily  Impact damage. This results in an excellent faction-neutral build, as Corrosive is either buffed or normal against every damage type except for Corpus Proto Shields, which the Impact makes up for, especially on a high-crit weapon.
