Corrosive+Blast and Viral+Heat Corrosive+Blast Interaction Corrosive is for the armor strip (obvious) The key here is Blast Blast as a status deals AoE damage upon 10 Blast stacks or when an enemy is killed (AoE damage is based on how many Blast stacks were applied when the enemy died). This AoE blast is multiplied by modded base damage bonuses by 3x rather than the normal 0.5x like other DoT statuses. This AoE blast does not damage the initial target, however. So, this means that enemies within a close enough distance will all cause an AoE blast to each other if an AoE weapon is used to apply Blast status. Faction multipliers are applied 2 times with Status Damage: 1st on the initial hit and 2nd on the Status Damage. Now for the secret sauce: Xata's Whisper. This ability adds Void damage to your weapon which causes Void Status. Xata's Whisper's Void damage is applied as an Extra Hit rather than as Extra Damage. Xata's has a special interaction with Blast in that Blast detonations can proc Xata's and force an additional set of multipliers to apply. Excerpt from the wiki: Consider the following example: A gun deals 100 damage per bullet, and we have Thermite Rounds (60% Heat), Rime Rounds (60% Cold), Stormbringer (90% Electric), Primed Bane of Grineer (1.55x), and Xata's whisper at base strength: The initial hit will deal 100 × (1 + 0.6 + 0.6 + 0.9) × (1 + 0.55) = 480.5 damage, and Xata's whisper will deal 0.26 × 480.5 × (1 + 0.55) = 193.6415 damage (the Faction Damage Bonus is applied again). If the hit proc'd Blast, then the detonation damage will be 0.3 × 100 × (1 + 0.55)^2 = 72.075 (Elemental Damage doesn't apply to Blast detonations and the Faction Damage Bonus is applied again) Then, Xata's whisper will trigger off said detonation, dealing 0.26 × 72.075 × (1 + 0.55) × (1 + 0.6 + 0.6 + 0.9) = 90.0433 damage (as you can see, the Faction Damage Bonus is applied yet again, and the Elemental Damage Bonus is applied even though Blast detonations don't scale off Elemental Damage Bonuses. - The (1 + 0.6 + 0.6 + 0.9) is the damage formula for the Elemental damage from the mods: - Thermite Rounds (0.6 Heat), Rime Rounds (0.6 Cold), and Stormbringer (0.9 Electric) TLDR It just works Viral/Heat Generic Viral/Heat combo. Pair with Roar to massively boost your damage Example video (Manic Bombard Eximus lvl 190, 42 million EHP): Corrosive+Blast and Viral+Heat
