Different attacks do different types of damage, and different enemies may be resistant or particularly vulnerable to certain damage types. The basic types are:

Icon Damage Type Weapon Types
Blunt Weapons: Hand-to-Hand, Club, Staff, Harlequin Frame, Stormwaker Frame Blunt Hand-to-Hand, Club, Staff, Harlequin Frame, Stormwaker Frame, Sharpshot Frame
Slashing Weapons: Axe, Great Axe, Great Sword, Sword, Scythe, Katana, Great Katana, Valoredge Frame Slashing Axe, Great Axe, Great Sword, Sword, Scythe, Katana, Great Katana, Valoredge Frame
Piercing Weapons: Dagger, Polearm, Archery, Marksmanship, Shuriken, Sharpshot Frame Piercing Dagger, Polearm, Archery, Marksmanship, Shuriken, BoomerangVerification Needed

Exceptions[edit]

Some weapons have a different damage type than usual for their category.

Despite having an uncharacteristic damage type when meleeing, these exceptions still use normal damage types during weapon skills. For example, when performing a weapon skill with Vampiric Claws or while using Formless Strikes and any Hand-to-Hand weapon, the damage type is Blunt.
