Elemental damage is a modifier that exists on certain attacks and weapons. Elemental damage is one of the manifestations of Light and Darkness, and can be used to a player's advantage to make their attacks more effective. It comes into play for both Guardians and enemies.

Elemental Types[edit]

'A spark can give life...or take it.'

— Grimoire Arc text.

'Sometimes the only answer is to burn it all away.'

— Grimoire Solar text.

'It's fitting, then, that we have weaponized the unknown.'

— Grimoire Void text.

'Darkness resides within, beckoning you. This is a truth we cannot hide from, so we must embrace it.'

— The Stranger

There are five types of damage types:

Kinetic—White—the default damage type on most weapons. Will cause basic damage to any enemy.
Solar—Orange—causes Solar damage.
Arc—Blue—causes Arc damage.
Void—Purple—causes Void damage.^[1]
Stasis—Indigo—causes Stasis damage.

Weapons[edit]

Weapons can be infused with elemental damage; by default, most weapons only do kinetic damage, but some may come with modifiers. The modifier is indicated not only on the weapon's stats but also in the weapon menu on the HUD. At the common level, only Fusion Rifles do elemental damage, but at higher levels nearly all special and heavy weapons do elemental damage. Only a handful of primary weapons do elemental damage, and most of those weapons are typically acquired in Raids.^[1]

The damage type on most weapons is random, though some weapons such as Exotics or Legendary Raid weapons have a set damage type.

‡ Two-Tailed Fox fires a Solar Rocket and a Void Rocket, but it’s in-game element is void.

Subclass Elements in Destiny[edit]

Each Guardiansubclass focuses on one type of elemental damage. This extends to melee attacks, grenades, and Supers.

Class	Solar	Arc	Void
Hunter	Gunslinger	Bladedancer	Nightstalker
Titan	Sunbreaker	Striker	Defender
Warlock	Sunsinger	Stormcaller	Voidwalker

Subclass Elements in Destiny 2[edit]

Class	Solar	Arc	Void	Stasis
Hunter	Gunslinger	Arcstrider	Nightstalker	Revenant^[2]
Titan	Sunbreaker	Striker	Sentinel	Behemoth^[2]
Warlock	Dawnblade	Stormcaller	Voidwalker	Shadebinder^[2]

Enemies[edit]

Elemental damage will do bonus damage against certain types of enemies. The most obvious way to tell if an enemy is weak to a certain damage type is to see what color shield they have; for example, FallenCaptains with blue Absorption shields are weak to Arc attacks. Every race has at least one type of enemy shielded by default but will also have another type of enemy that's shielded whenever the Epic modifier is active (or during certain public events.) ^[1]

In addition to the below list, Nightmare Hunts will also frequently spawn large groups of enemies (typically the lowest class associated with the Nightmare's original race, which normally should not be able to be shielded) with Solar shields that are unusually resistant to even matching elemental damage. Nightmare Breaker mods, obtained from the gamemode, are required to effectively penetrate these shields.

Race	Solar Shield	Arc Shield	Void Shield
Fallen	Noble Shank, Scorch Captain, Brutal Shank, Kell's Scourge†	Captain, Shock Captain, Brutal Shank, Kell's Scourge†	Servitor (Only in Destiny 2 in presumably certain Strikes), Null Captain, Brutal Shank, Kell's Scourge†
Hive	Wizard	Knight (Anointed variant in Destiny and higher ranks in Destiny 2), Omnigul	Savathûn's Handmaiden
Vex	x	Harpy Zealot	Minotaur
Cabal	Centurion	Bloodguard Legionary, Colossus (Destiny 2)	Epic-difficulty Psion Operant, Incendior (Higher levels)
Taken	Taken Captain, Taken Knight (During The Whisper Mission)	Taken Centurion	Taken Wizard, Taken Acolyte (On higher difficulties)
Bosses	Kolar, Psion Flayer, Valus Trau'ug† , Protheon, Modular Mind†	Omnigul, Will of Crota, Vatch, Psion Flayer, Valus Trau'ug† , Protheon, Modular Mind†	Numoc, Psion Flayer, Valus Trau'ug† , Protheon, Modular Mind†

† Indicates enemies that alternate between different shield types.

Enemy weapons and abilities typically have their own elemental damage types as well. Normally this doesn't come into play unless players are playing a mission with damage modifiers on. For example, a Nightfall mission with a 300% boost to Arc damage applies to both Guardians and enemies, so enemies that do Arc damage are especially dangerous. Note that Taken versions of enemies will do a different type of elemental damage than the original base enemy.

Race	Solar weapon	Arc weapon	Void weapon	Kinetic Weapon
Fallen	Shrapnel Launcher, Fallen Walker's main cannon, Molten Welder, Scorch Cannon	Shock Pistol, Shock Rifle, Wire Rifle, Shock Grenade, Shock Dagger, Shock Blade, Pike, Skiff, Fallen Walker's secondary armaments, Arc Spear, Melee (Wretch only)	Servitor's blasts	Melee

Trivia[edit]

It is unclear whether there is necessarily a distinction between the elemental damage done by weapons and the corresponding manifestation of the Light or Darkness associated with a given element; for example, a weapon which does Arc damage may not necessarily be imbued with the power of Arc Light, but rather merely fire electrified ammunition. In contrast, some weapons clearly do derive their power from the Light or Darkness, such as Salvation's Grip (which fires Stasis projectiles).

Content of the article: 'Comprehensive Guide to Destiny 2’s Damage Buffs/Debuffs/Modifiers – Update for DCV'

Contents

5 Similar Guides

Been a while since my last post and it's been relatively quiet since Season of the Worthy in terms of damage modifiers being added, changed, or removed. However as we move into Beyond Light and with the implementation of the Destiny Content Vault – DCV – we will be seeing big changes (a.k.a. removals) to damage modifiers that I thought would be better suited for another Reddit post to advertise to Guardians.

As per usual with these posts, my context: I have created spreadsheets which 'catalogue' all the damage modifiers, buffs, debuffs, and any thing in between that exist (or have existed, which I'll get to in a moment) inside Destiny 2. If something boosts the damage output of your weapon, super, grenade, or whatever then it's catalogued and categorized in these sheets! I'm currently working towards transitioning all the data and information onto either a website or a collection of infographics which will display all the modifiers in a much more user friendly (especially for mobiles) and aesthetically pleasing way versus using Google Sheets. No timeframe for this but for the time being the spreadsheets will remain updated as we move into Beyond Light. My spreadsheets are linked below:

Speaking of Beyond Light, specifically the DCV, there has been revealed information of what content is (as of this post) going to be vaulted which directly affects a variety of modifiers. I'm going to list all of them, including some revamps and outliers like Pinnacles, to make people aware with less than 3 weeks left to go until Beyond Light.

Vaulted Modifiers

Leviathan Mods

One of the largest removal of modifiers comes due thanks to Leviathan disappearing – including all Leviathan-based Raids, The Tribute Hall, and The Menagerie. This means all Leviathan Armour Mods which are only active on Leviathan locations will become deprecated and removed, including these pretty potent damage mods:

Striking Hand – 20% all damage output increased for 10s on a successful Melee kill (can refresh indefinitely)
Heavy Hitter (Power Overwhelming in Y1) – 15% Power Weapons damage output increased for 10s on a successful Major and higher tier combatant killed by a Power weapon (can refresh indefinitely)
Energized – 15% Energy Weapons damage output increased for 10s on a successful any combatant killed by an Energy weapon (can refresh indefinitely)
Emperor's Shock, Blaze, and Balance – 25% All Elemental Abilitiesdamage output increased (constant)

Currently drop: for Y2/3 Armour pretty rare RNG drops from Crown of Sorrow Raid, and The Menagerie; for Y1 Armour they were actually intrinsic to Armour pieces when they dropped but you could change them around with Calus Tokens. If you have them unlocked on your Collections you can get these Y1 version (not the actual Y2/3 Mods) Armour.

Value: as all Leviathan locations are disappearing, Leviathan-based Armour are being Light-capped starting with Beyond Light, and the fact they don't work any where else… probably zero. As a collector you might want to knock out those Menagerie runs to collect them but as we have no knowledge of when and in what capacity returning DCV content will look like I'd make the assumption these Mods will be easily acquired if/when Leviathan Locations and Gear make a return.

Forge Ignitions Mod

All Guardian's favourite AFK arena is disappearing and that too of a pretty unknown but unique damage modifier which could be applied to Forge Ignition weaponry on a unique 'Temper Effect' slot:

Obsidian Radiance – 5% weapon damage increase during active constantly Forge Ignitions, plus a visual 'radiance' effect on your weapon

Currently drop: not too rare RNG drops during successful Forge Ignitions, they can only be used on Forge Ignition weaponry (like Kindled Orchid)

Value: Forge Ignition weaponry are getting Light-capped starting with Beyond Light and the Obsidian Radiance only works during Forge Ignitions. If you want the pretty light-wave effect on your Forge weaponry then get a few of these but just remember the weaponry cannot be brought into end-game content!

Prestige Lairs, The Reckoning, and Miscellaneous Activity Modifiers

You don't see much of the following activity Modifiers being utilized around Destiny 2 as they specific to their own modes, and now they will be disappearing completely (unless they are used for future new Activities):

Frenzy – 100% Melee damage increase on any Weapon kill; refills Melee charge completely, consumed on Melee kill
Triumphant Rush – 100% all Weapon damage increase on Melee kill; refilled weapon magazine completely, consumed on any Weapon kill
Prism (Buff) – 300% Elemental damage increase during correct Element cycle; affects all Elemental damage including Weapons, Supers, Grenades, and Melee
Prism (Malus) – 50% Elemental damage reduction during incorrect Element cycle; affects all Elemental damage including Weapons, Supers, Grenades, and Melee
Sundering Light – All outputting damage from inside a Well of Light

Raid Lairs are being vaulted which means the unique Prestige Modifiers – Frenzy & Triumphant Rush – go too. These were pretty fun to mess around with and stacking with the Leviathan Mods meant you could easily clear a lot of those pesky Minotaurs, Centurions, and Bosses without sweating.

Prism – also featured in Prestige Raid Lairs – has been seen in other activities like The Reckoning and is/was the most potent damage buff in Destiny 2 going. OGs from Destiny 1 will remember Elemental Burns from Strikes: Prism is like the kind-hearted, sainted brother version because it doesn't apply to enemy combatants! An extremely useful modifier because you can stack with other Modifiers (like Buffs, Debuffs, Leviathan Mods) AND it affected all outgoing Elemental damage. The true downside was the malus of using an incorrect Element (e.g. Arc in a Void cycle) was pretty punishing. Try using a Celestial Nighthawk Golden Gun in a non-Solar cycle against the boss and see very little damage being done. Personally, Prism remains one of my favourite in-game damage modifiers (including all the Buffs, Debuffs, and Oppressive Darkness) because it promoted cycling through your weaponry constantly and strategizing loadouts and when to do a damage phase.

Every Guardian's favourite activity – the Reckoning – is also going and that means the Gambit-style Well of Light is too. Only active during the Knight Boss room, shooting and damaging inside a Well of Light was effectively the only way to do actual damage to those bigboi Knights.

Seasonal Activity Modifiers

I suppose the first few instances of a DCV system before they made DCV into a actual thing were these Seasonal activities; they appear for a few weeks then go away and come back a year later. We have had the Summer and Halloween events with damage modifiers twice now: 2019 and 2020, and both times none of the modifiers were revamped or changed:

Does elemental dmg help in pvp destiny 2

Solstice of Heroes

Arc Buff (Melee) – Collect 30 Arc Orbs (Arc Kills drop these while running a Arc Subclass) on any destination or playlist (except Gambit Prime and Comp PVP) and for 30s you will do 100% increased Melee damage; also enhances Guardian movement speed and generates Sword ammo for free
Arc Buff (Sword) – Collect 30 Arc Orbs (Arc Kills drop these while running a Arc Subclass) on any destination or playlist (except Gambit Prime and Comp PVP) and for 30s you will do 50% increased Sword damage; also enhances Guardian movement speed and generates Sword ammo for free
Elemental Buffs – Active Modifier in the European Aerial Zone which affected Major and above tier combatants only; do 100% more damage if you used the same Element (Elements cycled every daily reset) – Weapons, Supers, Grenades, and Melees are affected by this buff

Festival of the Lost (The Haunted Forest Mask Mods)

Higher Purpose – 150% all damage to all combatants increased; also provides damage resistance while airborne
Vampiric Touch – 200% all damage to Major and above tier combatants increased; also triggers health regen on precision kills
Energetic Assassin – 250% all damage to Nightmare Terrors increased; also grants Grenade and Melee energy on precision kills

Revamped, Removed, and Exotic/Pinnacle Modifiers

Gambit

With Gambit and Gambit Prime being merged into a single 'Perfected' mode, a few changes to the current mechanics and setup is incoming. No concrete details as to what will be happening during the Primeval phase (I'm assuming they'll stick to the Gambit Prime model for damage modifiers), but we did get news regarding Prime Armour Set Buffs:

Primeval Slayer 1-10 (Gambit Normal) – With every phase stack of Primeval Slayer, damage towards the Primeval Boss is increased. Each stack from 1 thru 10: 37% // 73% // 105% // 124% // 143% // 159% // 178% // 197% // 289% // 400%
High-Value Target (Reaper Gear Set Buff at +3) – 100% all damage to high-value targets and Ultras (NOT Primevals) increased; also marks these combatants with a debuff marker for 10s but can be reapplied at any time. Can stack with all other Modifiers including Global Buffs and Debuffs
Killmonger 4x (Invader Gear Set Buff at +10) – 100% all damage to any combatants in own Gambit arena increased for 30s; successfully killing in and returning from Invasions gives modifier which stacks up to 4x. Per stack: 22% // 50% // 74% // 100%
Umbral Strike 5x (Sentry Gear Set Buff +3) – 200% all damage to Taken combatant increased; double kills and above per engagement begins stacking Umbral Strike modifier and is kept until damage performed to Taken combatant and is consumed but can be re-stacked. Per stack: 45% // 81% // 118% // 155% // 200%

Pinnacle Weapons

Technically not being 'vaulted' like the above modifiers but for all intents and purposes will become deprecated due to these following weapons being Light-capped at the beginning of Beyond Light. While they will still be usable in non-end game content, for the purposes of making people aware I'll list them here (and keep them as 'live' on my sheets) as these weapons have unique modifiers which do not exist on other weapons:

Crucible

Luna's Howl & Not Forgotten (Magnificent Howl) – 60% damage increase to non-precision hits; rapid double precision hits buffs LH/NF
The Recluse (Master of Arms) – 20% damage increase; killing combatants with The Recluse or any other weapon buffs The Recluse for 3s (can refresh indefinitely)

Gambit

21% Delirium (Killing Tally 3x) – 65% damage increase to non-Ultra combatants, or 25% damage increase to Ultra combatants; killing combatants with 21% Delirium stacks up to 3 and does not get consumed until weapon reload, pick-up world item, or stowed. Per stack: 22% // 43% // 65% (non-Ultra), or 8% // 16% // 25% (Ultras only)

Vanguard

Loaded Question (Reservoir Burst) – 33% damage increase on the first shot of a fully-loaded magazine; combatants will also explode upon death
Oxygen SR3 (Meganeura 3x) – 180% Dragonfly damage increase; add stacks by performing precision hits, which stacks up to 3. Per stack: 45% // 134% // 180%
Wendigo GL3 (Explosive Light) – 70% damage increase for up to 6 grenades; pick up Orbs of Light to add stacks of Explosive Light

Exotics & Exotic Catalysts

Plenty of Exotics and some Catalysts quests or progression will become unavailable at the start of Beyond Light but these weapons and catalysts aren't being 'vaulted' and do not have a Light-cap like Pinnacles and Legendary Armour/Weapons. In fact they will be put into a new 'Memorial Kiosk' located in the Tower, so no changes or removals are expected. If any of these weapons or catalysts have their intrinsic perks changed or reworked then of course I'll update the sheets. Listed below are the weapons/catalysts with damage buffs you should definitely get before Beyond Light:

Exotics

Ace of Spades (Memento Mori) – 50% (33% PVP) damage increase
Bad Juju (String of Curses 5x) – 100% damage increase; stacks up to 5, each stack is a 20% increase
Izanagi's Burden (Honed Edge 4x) – 300% damage increase; reload a full magazine to 'combined' those bullets in one singular empowered shot
The Last Word (Fan Fire) – 30% Precision Hip-Fire damage increase
Le Monarque (Poison Arrows) – 74% combined Poison damage-over-time + Arrow Shot damage
Polaris Lance (The Perfect Fifth) – 165% combined 5th Shot + Explosive + damage-over-time damage
Sturm (Storm and Stress) – 262% (88% PVP) damage increase, empower Sturm by killing combatants with Drang
- Drang will be sold by The Gunsmith with no infusion cap in Beyond Light
Thorn (Soul Devourer) – 200% Poison damage-over-time increase; pick up Remnant balls from defeated combatants by Thorn to increase the Soul Devourer duration
Wordline Zero (Tesseract) – 15% damage increase during Tesseract use

Catalysts

Ace of Spades (Funeral Pyre) – 50% (57% PVP) Firefly damage increase
- Catalyst drops RNG from Strikes Playlists, Nightfall: The Ordeal Strikes, Gambit, and Crucible game modes
- Can still be acquired and progression of catalyst can still be made in Beyond Light
  - To complete: 500 kills with Ace of Spades
Izanagi's Burden (Peerless Edge) – 20% flat damage buff to Honed Edge, increasing Honed Edge 4x to 380% damage output
- Catalyst drops from 1) having a fully upgraded Chalice, and 2) Completing a Heroic Menagerie run, where it drops from the final chest
- Acquisition of catalyst will be made unavailable in Beyond Light due to the removal of The Menagerie, but progression of acquired catalyst can still be made
  - To complete: 500 kills with Izanagi's Burden
Whisper of the Worm (Whispered Breathing) – 35% Precision damage increase
- Acquisition AND progression of catalyst will be made unavailable in Beyond Light due to removal of The Whisper
- As detailed in this post, you must start this progression immediately and BEFORE the next Destiny Weekly reset (27th October) and then complete + get the secret chests every week leading up to Beyond Light
Outbreak Perfected (Disease Vector) – 25% (18% PVP) Nanite damage increase
- Acquisition AND progression of catalyst will be made unavailable in Beyond Light due to removal of Zero Hour
- As detailed in this post, you must start this progression immediately and BEFORE the next Destiny Weekly reset (27th October) and then complete + do the configuration puzzle leading every week up to Beyond Light
  - Also required to complete: 500 Precision kills with Outbreak Perfected

Seasonal Mods

Deos Elemental Dmg Help In Pvp Destiny 2

Seasonal Mods follow the same juncture as Seasonal Event Modifiers in that they come-and-go through the year. So far we have had both repeat and brand new Modifiers come from each Seasonal Artifact and this is likely the model that will continue through Beyond Light's year of Seasons. A list of the damage-buffing Mods we have seen since Shadowkeep:

Thunder Coil – 54% Arc Melee damage increase on an Arc Powered Melee hit
- Available in Seasons 8 & 10
Volatile Conduction – 30% Arc Super damage increase when in a critical health state, lasts for the duration of your Super
- Available in Season 11
Solar Plexus – 25% – 60%
Solar Melee damage increase; always active
- Available in Seasons 9 & 11
Oppressive Darkness – Global Debuff which allows for 30% damage increase
from Void Grenades damaging combatants
- Available in Seasons 8 & 11
From The Depths – 30% Void Super damage increase when in a critical health state, lasts for the duration of your Super
- Available in Seasons 8 & 9
Tenderizer – 300% Weapon damage increase to Unstoppable Champions for both you and your nearby allies when you stagger a Unstoppable Champion with this Mod on; also provides 10% Weapon damage increase to all other combatants
- Available in Season 9

New & Upcoming Sandbox Changes

Beyond Light brings some brand new and announced changes to the sandbox. A quick reminder of those upcoming changes (as of this post):

New

Athyrs's Embrace (Hunter Exotic Gauntlets) – 'The Hunter's weighted knife gains a second ricochet; rapid precision hits gain a damage bonus and can temporarily stagger enemies.'
Dawn Chorus (Warlock Exotic Helm) – 'Feel that sweet burn. The Warlock's Daybreak projectilesdeal extra damage and cause enemies to burn on contact. Gain melee energy each time a burn damages a target.'
Necrotic Grip (Warlock Exotic Gauntlets) – 'A deadly caress, compounded. Melee attacks corrupt enemies with increasing damage over time. Defeating a corrupted combatant spreads the corruption to nearby targets and restores melee energy.'

Revisions

Vortex Frame (Falling Guillotine) – 290% Charged Heavy Attack damage increase
Author note: This would likely bring it down to about 215% which is still pretty potent when paired with an array of Debuffs and Buffs.
For perspective the Caster Frame (Temptation's Hook) does 170% Charged Heavy Attack damage (Black Talon) does 200% Charged Heavy Attack damage Reversal catalyst perk (blocking damage by guarding) if done in very quick succession

These are, as of the time of this post, the Modifiers which are either indirectly or directly affected by DCV or overhauls to game modes/Mods. Some may return in Beyond Light or near-future Seasons, but a few will be removed presumably forever. I'll continue to document and catalogue any and all changes through these interesting DCV times, and of course continue to add and make changes to modifiers affected by Sandbox changes. The next sheet update will be after Beyond Light's release, but you can view any progression on my WIP 'Dev Sheet'. The spreadsheets link once again:

Once again thank you everyone who has used or continue to use my sheets. As mentioned above too, I'm currently migrating my sheets to a website/infographics model to be more user-friendly (and mobile-friendly) but this will take a little time. You can contact me via Reddit or Discord DMs for any queries, questions, corrections, or whatever. 🙂

Destiny 2 PVE Damage and Resilience Testing Results (June 28 2020)
People have been wondering recently if Resilience Scaling in PVE has been changed, or Enemies are now hitting harder than before. I have set out to test this, using u/Cykeisme 's post on stacking resist mods from half a year ago as reference.

Power Level and Damage Reduction: How Overleveling Affects Enemy Damage
With players having to deal with upcoming power caps for gear and with new endgame content like the Prophecy dungeon available, some players might have questions as to how power level affects gameplay. Most inquiries relate to weapon and ability damage and how being over the recommended power level of an activity impacts them. The answer to that is there is a power level cap of either +20 or +50 depending on the activity, with your individual weapon power and overall power level increasing your weapon damage and ability (melee/grenade/super) damage respectively.
