Enemies melee weakness?

[(PSN)Cpt_Dahel]

Hi, I want to know what are the enemies melee weakness, and if I put a +100% Cutting mod (just an example) it's better than putting a +100% Fire Damage.

you can slice anything up and you can burn anything up if that helps.

You have here all the information you need, for every faction and every type of enemy.

Depends on the type of weapon you're using.

If you're using a weapon with a lot of slash then you can lean on slash damage and slash procs.

If you're using a weapon with a lot of impact or puncture damage then moding for gas + electric is preferred.

Read this ^

There are just too many variables to give you a straightforward answer. What elemental and physical damage type works against one faction, will be resisted by another faction.

If you man the types of damage then melee has the same resistance as guns. The main types are

Grineer - Puncture

Corpus - Impact

Infested - Slash

And for the elements they change a lot so I'd recommend the wiki.

yep, read the Health Types chart to know what Damage Types you'll benefit from the most vs various Enemies. (which will be Elementals 99.9% of the time)

it's not so cut and dry - for example Slash can be useful vs Grineer, and Puncture is also useful vs Corpus.

Thanks everyone!

Thank you kindly.

Why tho.

Melee is the only weapon type that supports high crit and high status via combo counter.

Buildy body count, crit mods, blood rush and weaping wounds on a mixed crit/status melee with slash (nikana(prime), scindo(prime), galatine(prime), (prisma)cleavers to name a few) and you set highly potent slash crits. Ignores weaknesses and scaling alltogether.
