If I am fighting a boss that has for example proto shield, ferrite armor and flesh, do the damage multipliers of a certain element against these materials stack or do I hit only one material at a time? In other words while the target has shields up are the ferrite and flesh modifiers irrelevant in terms of damage calculation or do they factor in even though technically I am only hitting the shield at that point? Similarly does for example the heat damage bonus against flesh apply on targets with yellow health bars or do I have to strip the ferrite away first for it to matter?
