Edit: Elements now apply with a chance-based system. As a general ruile of thumb, slower fire-rate weapons have a higher chance of applying effects. Arcane has also been added to the game!

This is a scuffed guide, but I didn't see any info on this topic yet, and some of the skills work counter-intuitively to what you might expect. I'll update numbers accordingly as I do a bit more testing.



Elemental stacks are greatly reduced against enemies with armour (the blue bars) and I don't think they can be frozen either.

Poison is NOT a DoT effect. Instead, it amplifies ALL damage dealt. This value is multiplicative, seemingly around 1% per stack of poison.

If you have the "timed shots perk" (damage increased, but dealt as a DoT), the first tick will apply the toxic proc, and the following ticks of damage will be amplified.

Igniting enemies applies a DoT. It will also thaw any frozen enemies.

As far as I can tell, it looks like at 100 stacks, it deals 5 damage ~10 times per second. AKA around 50% of stacks as dps.

Ice freezes enemies for around 20ms per stack. 50 stacks freezes enemies for around one second.

Freezing enemies clears all stacks of fire.

Shock makes electricity arc out around the target to hit nearby enemies.

Shock is kinda weird, definitely need to do some more testing. When applied, it zaps the enemy hit and nearby enemies. Then, every tick, the stacks halve and it zaps the same enemies for 1/2 of the previous tick. Each tick is about 1/10th of a second.

@100 stacks, it zapped for 364 damage
@50 stacks --> 182
@25 --> 91
@13 --> 46
@7 --> 24
@4 --> 13
@2 --> 7
and then
@0 it zapped the first target (only) for 104 damage

Yeah it's a bit of a weird one.

Arcane deals damage equal to the number of stacks every second. After applying said damage, the number of stacks then decreases. The exact amount of reduction seems to be a little variable? It appears to be around 15% of current stacks (i think there's some rounding shenanigans going on. I'll do some proper testing later)
