Introduction

In Warframe every target has specific weaknesses and resistances to different damage types. All of the damage that you deal with your weapons or abilities belong to a specific damage type. You can utilize this information to exploit enemy weaknesses to greatly improve your damage output. The information below outlines the damage type vs enemy type in warframe.
