Highly effective against Corpus Flesh. Moderately effective against Corpus Proto Shields.
Toxin Status Effect allows damage to bypass enemy Shields and deal damage directly to their Health over a short duration.
—In-game Description

DmgToxinSmall64 Toxin Damage is one of the four primary elemental damage types. It is effective against IconCorpusOn Corpus Flesh and completely bypasses Shielded and Proto Shields of non-boss enemies with its direct damage and status effect, but is less effective against Machinery and Robotic enemies as well as Fossilized Infestation w Infested creatures, exacerbated by Toxic Ancients whose auras completely nullify any DmgToxinSmall64 Toxin damage in range.

Status Effects[]

General[]

The status effect of DmgToxinSmall64 Toxin damage is Poison. It applies a DoT effect after a 1 second delay, dealing a tick of damage every second for 6 seconds. Each tick dealing DmgToxinSmall64 Toxin damage equal to:

Notice that modded base damage calculation used for DoT is not the same as normal damage calculations, ignoring physical and elemental damage bonuses.

Where Modded Base Damage is calculated as:

Additional Multipliers include modded critical multiplier on Critical Hit and multipliers on Enemy Body Parts; these stack multiplicatively with each other.

Multiple instances of the effect can stack on the same target, with each instance having its own timer, but only up to 10 tick numbers are actually shown, the rest are hidden to save performance.

For example, tick damage for a weapon with an innate 100 damage, Mod TT 20px Serration, Mod TT 20px Infected Clip, and Mod TT 20px Bane of Grineer will be:

Modded Damage = 100 × (1 + 1.65) × (1 + 0.3) = 344.5
Toxin Mod Multiplier = (1 + 0.9) × (1 + 0.3) = 2.47x
Tick Damage = 0.5 × 344.5 × 2.47 = 425.4575

As can be seen in the above calculations for tick damage, Faction Damage is applied twice, making their effective bonus = (1+Faction Bonus)^2. Which is +69% for the 30% Faction Damage mods and +140.25% for the 55% Primed Faction Damage mods.

Enemies afflicted by a DmgToxinSmall64 Toxin proc have a green sickly substance leaking from their bodies.

Railjack[]

Railjack <DT_POISON>Toxin Damage results in an Intoxicate Status Effect which confuses enemy ships to attack the nearest target, including allies.
—In-Game Description

The status effect of DmgToxinSmall64 Toxin damage against Railjack space enemies is Intoxicate, changing the faction of the afflicted target for 12 seconds allowing for friendly fire between it and normally allied units, with subsequent procs refreshing the duration.

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

Patch History[]

Update 27.2 (2020-03-05)

  • Toxin Damage used to apply to Armor with a 25% bonus. Now it is neutral. For role distinction, Toxin bypasses Shields (but not Armor) where as Slash Status bypasses Armor but not Shields.
  • Each Toxin Status has its own duration, but now we only show a maximum of 10 damage numbers in the HUD, damage is unaffected, but reducing how many damage events we show helps with performance
  • The base duration of a Toxin Status Effect now matches Slash for 6 seconds.

Update 11.0 (2013-11-20)

  • Introduced.
