      WHY is Corrosion damage better against armor..? nowhere does it say how it affects damage or armor.
      Does corrossion damage ignore 35% armor?? Does it apply a debuff that reduces enemy armor?? How does it work??

        Plasma with high science is the absolute highest damage weapon type in the game against everything but mantis and robos.

        But which is better against robos and mantis at 100 science... +33% shock or +25% corrossive? And which is better at 150 science with Peril on Gorgon? Are those 50 extra science points even worth it for dealing more damage?

          Aight so quick and to the point. corrosion and plasma are the 2 elements you want to use. use plasma for flesh/people and corrision for mantasaurs and robots. Ignore N-ray all together because it's damage is sometimes even worse than physical.
