^ just to clarify above poster formula which is correct:

dmg*1.25*0.5

1.25 is +25% from slash bonus on flesh 0.5 is -50% from slash malus on alloy

armor*1.5

This is a little tricky and the reason I am here, asked by friends why it isn't armor*1.5*0.75

1.5 is +50% from slash malus on alloy. Indeed a damage type that have a malus against armor actually increases the armor value. This is really important to understand, and this is why people saying "hey use akvasto against Grineer, they have higher dps than akbolto" are complete idiots.

There isn't any 0.75 multiplier (coming from +25% slash bonus on cloned flesh) because the bonus is on flesh itself and not on armor, so there is no reason the +25% bonus against cloned flesh should apply any modifier to armor.

Correct formula is therefore what above poster said.
