Elemental damage

Elemental Damage is a modifier placed on many weapons and enemies in Mod of Redemption. Elemental damage is affected by Elemental resistances that the target has. A multitude of accessories can additionally be used to buff weapons that possess a certain element. Most weapons and enemies from the base game have also received these modifiers, adding more depth to preparations for boss fights and events or for exploring different dungeons and realms.

While enemies can also deal Elemental damage, they don't gain the effects that the player does.

Elemental resistance

Most vanilla and some Mod of Redemption enemies are grouped into types, with every type having their own elemental resistances and debuff immunities. If an enemy belongs to 2 or more types then its resistances are multiplied together (for example, Vampire simultaneously belongs to Undead, Dark and Blood Types, resulting in a Shadow resistance of 0.8*0.75*0.9=0.54). Bosses' resistances cannot go below 0.75x and above 1.25x.

Tips

• Blood damage is extremely powerful in the early game as relatively few Robotic foes exist in Pre-Hardmode.
  • In Expert mode this is made even better with the Heart Insignia which boosts Blood and Shadow damage by an additional 15%.
