Damage Type

Damage Type is the type of elemental damage the weapon fires. The default elemental damage is Kinetic (no elemental damage). The other elemental types are Arc (Blue), Solar (Orange) and Void (Purple).

Your guardians' supers also deal various elemental damage. Titan's Fist of Havoc deals Arc damage while Gunslinger's Golden Gun deals Solar damage.

Certain enemies' shields are susceptible to certain types elemental damage. For example the Hive Wizard's shield is weak to Solar damage and the Fallen Captain's shield is weak to Arc damage. By dealing the type of damage the enemy is weak to, players deal a bonus damage to their shields. The color of the bonus damage number is the same as the type of damage. Arc is blue, Void is purple and Solar is orange.

• You will only do bonus damage to your enemies' shields, not to their health.
