It seems as though damage types function very differently based on the source/target, and because of that, unless we can prove without a doubt what type of damage it is, we are not including specific damage types to abilities.

What we do know is that the AoE effect of this ability will target the Torso of the mob (similar to other AoE damage abilities), and since corpus MOA's equivalent to the torso is their "fanny pack," which multiplies all incoming damage by 2 or 3 (check the MOA page for specifics), that would explain why you deal increased damage tot hem.

We also know that this ability is affected by armor, which would explain the decreased damage you are seeing against grineer (and ancients, crewmen, etc.).
