About Armor Piercing

[Asla]

Greetings,

 

I just would like some tips about armor pierce mods. I have understand they are really effective on normal weapons against armored and heavy armored target like gringeer, ancients and boss.

 

My question is : Does it add some bonus damage against those enemies when applied on weapons which has innate armore piercing like Abotlo, boltor, Dualether autoattack (my current set)

 

Thanks !)

AP mod doesn't increase the % of piercing by you weapon....Instead AP acts just like all other elemental damage mods....

And deals seperate dmg like fire,freeze etc

Armor Piercing is considered a Elemental status in Warframe.

 

If you have FANG (innate piercing) and you add Sundering Strike (melee piercing) you will have 3 different damage.

 

1st Damage: Non-elemental Damage

2nd Damage: Elemental Damage - Innate Armor Piercing

3rd Damage: Elemental Damage - Sundering Strike Damage

Um, actually, you'll only see 2 different damage types;

 

AP damage is dealt first, =to the modified weapon damage * mod %age

then normal damage is dealt, =to the modified weapon damage.

 

There is no non-elemental damage thats seperate from the innate armor piercing damage, they're one and the same.

Yep, its great, easily the best +elemental damage mod.
