Damage/Slash Damage

Slash Damage is one of the three physical damage types. It deals more damage against Flesh health and all Infested enemies (except Phorid), but less damage against Robotic, Ferrite, and Alloy health types. While common on melee weapons, this type can also be found on primary weapons. The Soma, for example, has all three damage types, but it deals Slash damage the most, proportionally.

Slash damage's unique status effect is Bleed: a DoT that inflicts 35% of your weapon or power's base damage per tick (7 ticks in 6 seconds). This status effect actually deals Finishing damage rather than Slash, and as such it bypasses shields and is not affected by armor or enemy resistances. Multiple instances of Bleed may be stacked on the same target.[verify–concurrent or timer stacking?]

Slash damage has a tendency to rip open enemies (and their corpses), cut them in half, or dismember them, regardless of the weapon dealing the damage.

Slash Damage Weapons
These weapons deal more than a majority of their physical damage as. The damage ratio is important for physical damage status effects, because the game weights the likelihood of which proc occurs according to physical damage ratio. Hence, these weapons proc Bleed more than Knockback or Weakened.
