It appears that PyshcoLeo is right. Radiation and Corrosive appear to do bonus damage to armor, which scales somewhat with higher armor values. Or you could look at as the Radiation and Corrosive damage isn't as affected by their armor stat.

While you get the Viral bonus damage on all Grineer, the scaling Radiation bonus makes it much more effective, at least versus Alloy.

Kselia, the majority of Grineer are 100% armored, having no exposed parts. Why would they list Cloned Flesh for a units 100% covered in armor? If you hit an Alloy armor guy you actually get the Viral +75% damage, reduced by armor.
