Damage/Viral Damage

Damage is one of the six secondary elemental damage types, composed of and elements. Deals increased damage to , but reduced damage to and , with some Deimos units being outright immune. Its Status Effect increases damage dealt to Health.
==Status Effect==
===General===
The status effect of damage is Virus. It amplifies damage to the health of the afflicted target by 100% for 6 seconds. Subsequent procs add 25% increased damage to health up to 325% in total after 10 stacks, with each stack having their own duration. Any stacks applied after the 10th will replace the oldest stack. This effect will work even when the health is protected by armor ("yellow health"); only shields are not affected.
{
\begin{aligned}
\text{Resultant Damage to Health} &= \text{Modded Damage} \times [2 + (0.25 \times (\text{Number of Viral Stacks} - 1) ) ]
\end{aligned}
}
::Calculating resultant damage if at least one Viral proc is on target. Damage Vulnerability provided by Viral procs are multiplicative with other damage bonuses.
For status effects that apply damage over time (e.g. , , , ), the damage dealt by the proc throughout its duration is calculated based on whether or not a proc is active when the DoT tick deals damage. For example, a weapon with 100 damage that applies a proc, if the target has 1 proc, will deal 200 damage, then 70 damage per second from 's Bleed until the effect ends, when it will go down to 35 per second. If the target does not have a proc initially, the Bleed damage will be 35 per second until the target takes a proc, which will then multiply the DoT accordingly to 70 per second. This means that the multiplier is not applied twice to DoTs, unlike faction damage multipliers.
Enemies afflicted by a proc are coated in a flowing, leaking miasma of the Energy color of the weapon that inflicted it.
