I don't think there is a better name for it. You are correct in that "resistances" implies damage mitigation while "vulnerabilities" implies weaknesses. The reason I specifically made that statement is because "resistances" are typically thought of a % damage mitigation. Like X mob has an 80% resistance to Freeze damage. Meaning they only take 80% of what you dole out. This was part of the old nomenclature and understanding of how the game worked which led to the asinine charts of highly inaccruate % mitigations for elemental damage - which really isn't treated any differently than bullet damage.

In lieu of a "resistances" system as it is typically thought, this game relies on two things - armor and damage multipliers. In combination, these two mechanic comprise the vulnerabilties (and strengths) that each enemy has.

Anyway, let me enlighten you as to our (or at least my) process in determining what information was included here. Start with the end goal - I want to know what vunerabilities the enemies in Warframe have. If you start with that goal and then ask the question - What information do I need to know to determine the answer to that question. And I will add to that a caviat that the information actually be real and accurate.

If you answer that question, I think you will find that you come up with exactly the information contained here. No more and no less.
