Slash Damage

Slash Damage is one of the three physical damage types. It is effective against all forms of flesh, but it is less effective against Grineer armor and Corpus Robotics.

Status EffectsEdit

Slash damage's status effect is Bleed, lacerating the enemy with a damage over time effect that deals 35% of the source's innate damage per tick for 7 ticks over 6 seconds as True damage, while also bypassing Shields. This enables it to ignore the major defense stats of both Grineer (armor) and Corpus (shields). Multiple instances of the effect can stack on the same target, with each instance having its own timer.

As Bleed scales off of the overall base damage, the actual amount of Slash damage dealt is irrelevant to it. Likewise increasing the amount of Slash damage (e.g. through Buzz Kill) will provide no benefits to the status effect.

While bleeding, the target will have small bursts of blood come out every fraction of a second where they were hit to trigger this proc. Machinery and Robotic enemies will instead bleed oil.

Enemies killed by  Slash damage will be dismembered into multiple parts, which is considerably valuable for a Nekros using Desecrate as each part can spawn a Health Orb and some loot. Note that this characteristic may be disabled due to gore settings or regional locks: the Japanese version of WARFRAME, for example, does not allow for much corpse dismemberment.

Mods that affect Finisher melee attacks (e.g. Finishing Touch and Savage Silence) have no specific effect on True (previously called Finishing) damage, and as such do not interact with Slash procs in any special way.

Type EffectivenessEdit

Grineer Health	Slash Modifier	Corpus Health	Slash Modifier	Infested Health	Slash Modifier
Cloned Flesh	+25%	Flesh	+25%	Infested	+25%
Ferrite Armor	–15%	Shield		Infested Flesh	+50%
Alloy Armor	–50%	Proto Shield		Fossilized	+15%
Machinery		Robotic	–25%	Sinew

Slash SourcesEdit

WeaponsEdit

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