Jump to navigation Jump to search

Various Damage Types can be dealt from sources such as spells or other types of attacks to both you and your enemies. These damage types are helpful to keep in mind when deciding which spells to use in a wand. Each enemy may have different strengths and weaknesses against certain damage types, so utilising the various available damage types will allow you to inflict greater damage upon them.

Particularly unusual damage types have been separated out into their own section and can be found towards the end of this article.

Standard Damage Types

Icon Damage Type Details Examples
Curse Damage

Curse damage

Curse damage taken by an entity is influenced by their curse damage multiplier. There are no creatures that override the default value, meaning it is universally effective.

Entity's which have the curse_NOT tag cannot be afflicted by the Venomous Curse effect (which is your primary means of utilizing this damage type), but does not protect them from other sources of curse damage like Omega Black Hole.

Notable examples of creatures in possession of this tag include Sauvojen tuntija, Ylialkemisti, Unohdettu, and Syväolento.

Curse contact damage dealt by a Houre, which only affects you and your allies:
<DamageNearbyEntitiesComponent
    radius="16"
    time_between_damaging="3"
    target_tag="player_unit"
    damage_type="DAMAGE_CURSE"
    ragdoll_fx="NONE">
</DamageNearbyEntitiesComponent>
Curse area damage dealt by a collapsed Holy Mountain:
<AreaDamageComponent
	aabb_min.x="-391" 
	aabb_min.y="-99" 
	aabb_max.x="63" 
	aabb_max.y="78" 
	damage_per_frame="0.01333"
	update_every_n_frame="10"
	death_cause="$damage_holy_mountains_curse"
	damage_type="DAMAGE_CURSE"
	>
</AreaDamageComponent>
Drill Damage

Drill damage

(Category:Drill damage spells)

A rare damage type associated with certain digging spells, namely Digging Bolt and Digging Blast.

Most enemies resist this damage type to some extent, however stationary enemies (like Haamukivi, or the various wall traps in the Temple of the Art) tend to be weak to it.

Drill damage taken by an entity is influenced by their drill damage multiplier.

Electricity Damage

Electricity damage

(Category:Electric damage spells)

A fairly powerful, but dangerously volatile damage type.

Most electrical damage sources induce a prolonged stun via a Effect electrocution.png Stunned status.

Entities with the STUN_PROTECTION_ELECTRICITY effect cannot be affected by stunned stuns.

Most electrical damage sources are capable of conducting current through liquid and metal, potentially causing additional damage to anything in contact with those materials.

Electrical spells also cause the wand they're in to become electrified if they are held in liquid for too long.

Robotic enemies are generally weak to this damage type, except for Peitsivartija and Vakoilija. Most Lukki resist electric damage to some extent.

Electric damage taken by an entity is influenced by their electricity damage multiplier.

The Electric Weakening Curse can be used to increase a creature's damage multiplier by 0.25.

Entities with the PROTECTION_ELECTRICITY effect cannot be affected by electric damage.

Electric damage dealt by Ball Lightning:
<ProjectileComponent 
    ...
    >
    <damage_by_type electricity="0.5" >
    </damage_by_type>
</ProjectileComponent>
Electric area damage dealt by Explosion of Thunder:
<AreaDamageComponent
	aabb_min.x="-96" 
	aabb_min.y="-96" 
    aabb_max.x="96" 
	aabb_max.y="96" 
	damage_per_frame="0.4"
	update_every_n_frame="1"
	damage_type="DAMAGE_ELECTRICITY"

    ...
	    >
	<damage_multipliers
	    ...
	    electricity="-1">
	</damage_multipliers>
</DamageModelComponent>
Explosion Damage

Explosion damage

(Category:Explosion damage spells)

One of the more common damage types.

Explosion spells are fairly strong early on, but dangerous and often limited.

Explosive damage taken by an entity is influenced by their explosion damage multiplier.

The Explosive Weakening Curse can be used to increase a creature's damage multiplier by 0.25.

Entities with the PROTECTION_EXPLOSION effect cannot be affected by explosive damage.

Explosion damage of Nuke:
<config_explosion
    ...
      explosion_radius="250" 
    ...
      damage="10"
    ...
	  >
</config_explosion>
Explosion damage being increased by Explosive Projectile:
	c.explosion_radius = c.explosion_radius + 15.0
	c.damage_explosion_add = c.damage_explosion_add + 0.2
You have a natural resistance to explosion damage:
<DamageModelComponent 
    ...
    ><damage_multipliers
      explosion="0.35" >
    </damage_multipliers>
</DamageModelComponent>
Fire Damage

Fire damage

(Category:Fire damage spells)

A fairly common damage type inflicted by burning and various fiery spells.

Fire damage taken by an entity is influenced by their fire damage multiplier.

Entities with the PROTECTION_FIRE effect cannot be affected by fire damage.

When an entity is ignited, it takes fire damage over time based on its fire_damage_amount value, in proportion to its fire damage multiplier. This value defaults to 0.2 in cases where it is undefined. The rate of burning damage scales up with max hp.

Many creatures enter a panicked state when ignited, abandoning any active conflict until they stop burning. Enemies who burn to death are considered trick kills, and drop double gold.

The fire_probability_of_ignition value determines how likely fire is to ignite the entity, and if the value is 0, then it cannot be ignited. This value defaults to 0.5 if it is left undefined.

Fire damage dealt by Meteor:
<ProjectileComponent 
    ...
	>
	<damage_by_type
		fire="2.25"
		>
	</damage_by_type>
    <config_explosion
    ...

	<damage_multipliers
		fire="40.0" 
		>
	</damage_multipliers>
</DamageModelComponent>
Burning damage taken by you when ignited:
  <DamageModelComponent 
    ...
        fire_damage_amount="0.2" 
        fire_probability_of_ignition="1" 
    ...
    ><damage_multipliers
    ...>
    </damage_multipliers>
  </DamageModelComponent>
Heal Damage

Healing damage

A rare damage type that specializes in replenishing health instead of depleting it.

While other damage types never go below zero, healing damage cannot go above zero, and deals negative damage instead.

All healing damage sources have friendly fire enabled so that they may affect the caster, so be warned that spells which reduce projectile damage should be used on healing spells in cases where you have perks that increase projectile damage.

Like other damage types, it can be affected by damage multipliers such as from Berserkium or the Glass Cannon perk, which will multiply the amount of healing you receive. Note that the Effect hp regeneration.png Regeneration status granted by Circle of Vigour will not be affected, however the healing damage dealt while in contact with the circle will be.

Healing damage taken by an entity is influenced by their healing damage multiplier.

Normally, if an entity has a negative damage multiplier for certain damage type, it will heal them, however if an enemy happened to have a negative healing damage multiplier it would cause them to be hurt by it instead.

Healing Bolt is one of the few projectiles that deals healing damage, it has friendly fire enabled so that it may hit the caster (but only if it has existed for 4 or more frames):
<ProjectileComponent 
    ...
    damage="0"
    ...
	collide_with_shooter_frames="4"
    friendly_fire="1"
	>
        <damage_by_type 
            healing="-0.35" 
            >
        </damage_by_type>
    <config_explosion
    ...>
    </config_explosion>
</ProjectileComponent>
Ice Damage

Ice damage

(Category:Ice damage spells)

An uncommon damage type inflicted by very few spells.

Notably, the ice damage itself does not apply the seemingly signature freezing effect that most ice spells cause. The freezing effect is applied separately, but is typically applied to spells which deal ice damage.

Only Iceball and Freezing Gaze, both limited-use spells, innately have ice-type damage. The most common option for ice damage is to use Freeze Charge, which applies ice damage and the freeze effect to any spell it is combined with.

Ice damage taken by an entity is influenced by their ice damage multiplier.

Entities with the PROTECTION_FREEZE effect cannot be affected by ice damage and cannot be frozen. Enemies with the STUN_PROTECTION_FREEZE are affected by ice damage, but cannot be frozen. Creatures that are frozen can be executed by inflicting melee damage.

Each of the 12 projectiles from Freezing Gaze deals 10 ice damage:
<ProjectileComponent 
    ...>
	<damage_by_type 
	    ice="0.4" >
    </damage_by_type>
    <config_explosion
        ...>
    </config_explosion>
</ProjectileComponent>
Freeze Charge adds 5 damage along with the Effect frozen.png Frozen status, which lasts 120 frames:
	c.damage_ice_add = c.damage_ice_add + 0.2
    c.game_effect_entities = c.game_effect_entities .. "data/entities/misc/effect_frozen.xml,"
Hiidenkivi takes negative ice damage, healing it:
<DamageModelComponent 
    ...>
	<damage_multipliers
		...
		ice="-1.0"
		>
	</damage_multipliers>
</DamageModelComponent>
Melee Damage

Melee damage

(Category:Melee damage spells)

A damage type frequently inflicted by melee attacks (note that some types of melee attacks are further described under Esoteric Damage Types).

Many enemies have melee attacks in addition to ranged attacks. Some enemies such as Konna have a dash attack. Worm enemies such as Jättimato periodically perform a 'bite' melee attack around their heads (not to be confused with the Bite damage from worm-like bosses - see Esoteric Damage Types for more information).

Melee damage inflicted on entities with the Effect frozen.png Frozen status will apply a direct HP reduction that cannot be reduced by Stainless Armour or melee resistance (but can be blocked by melee immunity). This HP reduction will be for 50% of current HP when current HP is more than 25% of maximum, or an instant kill if current HP is at or below 25% of maximum.

It is possible to parry incoming melee-type attacks with a well timed kick.

Poison Damage

Poison damage

A damage type primarily inflicted by the Effect poisoned.png Poisoned status from Poison stains. The status damages for approximately 2% of maximum HP every 1.5 seconds, but cannot normally kill, instead reducing HP to 5% of maximum.

Radioactive Damage

Radioactive damage

A damage type primarily inflicted by the Effect radioactive.png Toxic status from Toxic Sludge stains. The status damages for approximately 2% of maximum HP every 1.5 seconds, but cannot normally kill, instead reducing HP to 5% of maximum. Entities with the ALLERGY_RADIOACTIVE effect, such as Haulikkohiisi, are not affected by this limit and can die from Toxic damage.

Projectile Damage

Projectile damage

(Category:Projectile damage spells)

The most common damage type by far. The vast majority of damaging spells or modifiers you have access to deal this damage type, and most ranged attacks from enemies deal this type as well.

Robots and Lukki are among the most resistant to this damage type, and there are no creatures which are normally weak to it.

Robots that spawn in the Power Plant biome have their base projectile damage multiplier set to 0.0, making this damage type highly ineffective there normally.

Projectile damage taken by an entity is influenced by their projectile damage multiplier.

The Projectile Weakening Curse can be used to increase a creature's damage multiplier by 0.25.

Slice Damage

Slice damage

(Category:Slice damage spells)

A somewhat uncommon damage type. Most of the spells that deal slice damage have friendly fire enabled, with Chainsaw and Energy Sphere being exceptions.

Robotic enemies are all quite resistant to this damage type, however it is fairly effective (to varying degrees) on most other enemies. Most Lukki are weak to slice damage, except for Kasvoton Lukki.

Slice damage taken by an entity is influenced by their slice damage multiplier.

Esoteric Damage Types

Icon Damage Type Details Examples
Melee-bite Damage

Bite damage (Melee)

Damage dealt by worm bosses (Suomuhauki or Limatoukka) every frame in a radius around their head. Bite damage from these bosses is simultaneously melee damage, that means Melee Immunity, Effect frozen.png Frozen, Parrying applies to this boss damage.

However, bite damage taken by an entity is not influenced by its melee damage multiplier.

A mod cannot implement this combined melee and bite damage type using EntityInflictDamage. This is a unique capability of BossDragonComponent.

The bite of Limatoukka:
<BossDragonComponent
    ...
		target_kill_radius="36"
		target_kill_ragdoll_force="10"
    ...
        >
</BossDragonComponent>
Physics-impact Damage

Impact damage (Physics)

Damage dealt by collisions with physics objects, scaling with velocity.

Impact damage taken by an entity is influenced by their physics_hit damage multiplier,.

Entities with physics_objects_damage="0" will not take impact damage, but may be subject to other forms of physics damage.

Physics-crush Damage

Crush damage

Damage dealt by collision with Collapsed Concrete rigidbody entities based on the momentum from both sides of the collision.

Crush damage taken by an entity is influenced by their physics_hit damage multiplier.

Physics-blackhole Damage

Blackhole damage

Damage dealt by blackhole gravity wells such as those created by Giga Black Hole or Omega Black Hole.

Blackhole damage taken by an entity is influenced by their physics_hit damage multiplier.

Blackhole damage of Omega Black Hole:
<BlackHoleComponent
	particle_attractor_force="8"
	damage_probability="0.55"
	radius="160">
</BlackHoleComponent>
Fall Damage

Fall damage

Damage dealt by collision with solid matter at/above a certain velocity.

This damage type is typically disabled for most creatures, including you. The only exceptions seem to be Eväkäs (as wonderfully demonstrated by Chereazi) and Suureväkäs.

It is primarily used for objects such as lanterns so that they break when hitting the ground or wall,

or for certain throwable items so that they activate on impact, such as a Chaos Die.

Entities with falling_damages="0" will not take fall damage.

Falling damage taken by Eväkäs:
<DamageModelComponent 
    ...
        falling_damage_damage_max="1.2" 
        falling_damage_damage_min="0.1" 
        falling_damage_height_max="450" 
        falling_damage_height_min="250" 
        falling_damages="1" 
    ...
        >
</DamageModelComponent>
Material Damage

Material damage

Damage dealt to an entity when its hitbox touches a particular substance. Material damage is dealt per pixel of the material touching the entity's hitbox.

Entities with materials_damage="0" will take no material damage even if damaging materials have been defined by their individual file, or any of their base files.

Material damage is not affected by damage multipliers of the target. For example poison damage gets multiplied in Nightmare mode, but the material damage poison deals remains the same. The multiplier only affects the damage over time from the poison stain.

Material damage taken by you:
<DamageModelComponent 
    ... 
    materials_damage="1" 
    materials_that_damage="acid,lava,blood_cold_vapour,
    blood_cold,poison,radioactive_gas,
    radioactive_gas_static,rock_static_radioactive,
    rock_static_poison,ice_radioactive_static,
    ice_radioactive_glass,ice_acid_static,
    ice_acid_glass,rock_static_cursed,
    magic_gas_hp_regeneration,
    gold_radioactive,gold_static_radioactive,
    rock_static_cursed_green,cursed_liquid,poo_gas"  
    materials_how_much_damage="0.005,0.003,0.0006,
    0.0009,0.001,0.001,
    0.001,0.001,
    0.001,0.001,
    0.001,0.001,
    0.001,0.005,
    -0.005,
    0.0002,0.0002,
    0.004,0.0005,0.00001" 
    ...
    >
</DamageModelComponent>
Midas Damage

Midas damage

Damage dealt by material converters if they have convert_entities="1". Midas damage is equal to 100 times the current hp of the target per instance and is influenced by their curse damage multiplier.

Normally it is instantly lethal without sufficient damage protection such as the PROTECTION_ALL effect, or stacking the Stainless Armour perk. With 7 Stainless Armour perks, midas damage instances are always less than the hp of the target, but can still lead to death at very small hp values. Having 8 or more Stainless Armors will prevent midas damage from ever killing a stainless target.

Entities with the touchmagic_immunity tag cannot be affected by Midas damage.

Material converter for Touch of Gold, which has entity conversion enabled:
<MagicConvertMaterialComponent
	from_any_material="1"
	convert_entities="1"
    to_material="gold"
    steps_per_frame="7"
    loop="0"
	is_circle="1"
    radius="30" >
</MagicConvertMaterialComponent>
Lackofair Damage

Suffocation damage

Damage dealt to an entity over time when their air_in_lungs reaches 0.

The rate at which health is lost from suffocation is determined by the air_lack_of_damage value.

If an entity has air_needed="0" then they will not lose air, and won't take suffocation damage even when they have 0 air.

The Vuoksikivi (when held in hand) and the Breathless perk are both capable of setting air_needed to 0.

Suffocation damage taken by you:
<DamageModelComponent 
    ...
        air_in_lungs="7" 
        air_in_lungs_max="7" 
        air_lack_of_damage="0.6" 
        air_needed="1" 
    ...
        >
</DamageModelComponent>

Overeating damage

Damage dealt by choking, and stomach bursting when you overeat.

This damage type is only experienced by you, since nothing else suffers from satiation effects.

See "Satiation" for more details on this mechanic.

Stomach damage taken by an entity is influenced by their overeating damage multiplier.

Beta

Icon Damage Type Details Examples
Holy Damage

Holy damage

Holy damage is a new damage type added in the 2023 beta. It is (currently uniquely) dealt by Holy lance and several enemies. From the projectile definition of Holy Lance:
  <ProjectileComponent
    damage="0"
  >
    <damage_by_type 
      holy="1.75" 
    >
	</damage_by_type>
  </ProjectileComponent>

From Hohtava hyypiö's retaliate projectile:

    <damage_by_type 
      holy="0.35" 
    >
