Toxin Damage

Toxin Damage is one of the four primary elemental damage types. It is effective against Corpus Flesh and Grineer Ferrite Armor, but is less effective against Machinery and Robotic enemies as well as Fossilized Infested creatures, exacerbated by Toxic Ancients which completely nullifies Toxin damage. Against the large majority of enemies (and against Tenno) this damage bypasses shields to directly affect health, although it does not completely bypass armor.

Status EffectsEdit

Toxin damage's status effect is Poison, which infects an enemy with a damage over time that deals Base Damage × (Toxin Mod Multiplier ÷ 2) per tick for 9 ticks over 8 seconds as Toxin damage. Multiple instances of the effect can stack on the same target with each instance having its own timer.

Mods adding Base damage, Toxin damage, Faction damage and combo multipliers will increase the damage of the Poison ticks. If a proc occurs together with a headshot, stealth bonus, and/or critical hit, the ticks are also affected by their respective multipliers. However, innate Toxin damage from weapons such as the Paracyst does not contribute to the damage-over-time ticks. It should also be noted that due to the nature of Faction damage mods, their bonuses are applied twice during the calculation of Poison damage per tick. For example, the Poison damage per tick of a weapon with an innate 100 damage, Serration, Infected Clip, and Bane of Grineer will be:

Base Damage = 100 × (1 + 1.65) × (1 + 0.3) = 344.5

Toxin Mod Multiplier = (1 + 0.9) × (1 + 0.3) = 2.47x

Poison Damage per tick = 344.5 × (2.47 ÷ 2) = 425.458

Enemies killed by a Toxin proc will be covered in a green liquid-like substance.

Type EffectivenessEdit

Grineer Health	Toxin Modifier	Corpus Health	Toxin Modifier	Infested Health	Toxin Modifier
Cloned Flesh		Flesh	+50%	Infested
Ferrite Armor	+25%	Shield	N/A	Infested Flesh
Alloy Armor		Proto Shield	N/A*	Fossilized	–50%
Machinery	–25%	Robotic	–25%	Sinew

 * The codex indicates it does +25% against Proto Shield, but as the damage completely bypasses shields, the vulnerability is meaningless.

As with all damage types effective against armor,  Toxin damage's type modifier works in two ways: it ignores a percentage of the target's armor, and increases the damage dealt in the same way as a type modifier against hitpoints. Practically speaking, this means that  Toxin​ damage is only reduced by 75% of a target's whole Ferrite Armor and the base damage is increased by +25%.
