'''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 [[Guardian]]s and enemies.

''Elemental Damage'' is a modifier that exists on certain attacks and weapons. Elemental damage is one of the manifestations of [[Light]]. Elemental damage 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, [[Fallen]] [[Captain]]s with blue [[Absorption Shield]]s are weak to Arc attacks.<ref name = "Alpha">'''Bungie (2014-6-12)''', ''Destiny: Alpha PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard.''</ref>

==Elemental Types==
{{Quote|Arc is the element of motion and conduction, and is created when the electromagnetic forces of our universe struggle to achieve balance. According to [[Ikora Rey|Ikora]], Arc teaches us that change is a fundamental aspect of the universe.|[[Osiris]], on Arc}}
There are three types of elemental damage:
{{Quote|Solar requires us to both exploit and rely on the power of our sun. But to master it is to understand the star's duality. The nuclear force that scorches anything foolish enough to draw near... is the same force we harness to heal.|Osiris, on Solar}}
*'''Solar Light''' - Red - Causes thermal damage
{{Quote|Void is the element of cosmic distortion. It is the pull of gravity and the promise of entropy. The vacuum of space, and the gravitational forces that shape it, teaches us that emptiness is not nothingness.|Osiris, on Void}}
*'''Arc Light''' - Blue - Causes shock damage
{{Quote|Stasis is the element of will and control. It slows, detains, and shatters. It was our first step into Darkness, and taught us the universe is not black and white as it first seemed... Control over self can foster control over others, but without power over the self, destruction runs wild.|Osiris, on Stasis}}
*'''Void Light''' - Purple<ref name = "Alpha"/>
{{Quote|Strand is our newest foray into Darkness. As I understand it now, it is the elemental manifestation of psychic connection. All minds are connected in a web of consciousness, which we can now see and feel. To wield Strand is to pull on the hidden connecting threads, and to use them to create, manipulate, and unravel.|Osiris, on Strand}}
There are six damage types:
*'''Kinetic''': White — the default damage type on most weapons, causes generic damage to any enemy.
*'''[[Solar]]''': Orange — causes Solar damage.
*'''[[Arc]]''': Blue — causes Arc damage.
*'''[[Void]]''': Purple — causes Void damage.
*'''[[Stasis]]''': Indigo — causes Stasis damage.
*'''[[Strand]]''': Green — causes Strand damage.
*'''[[Prismatic]]''': Pink — causes a mixture of damage types.


==Weapons==
==Weapons==
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 Rifle]]s deal elemental damage, but at higher levels nearly all special and heavy weapons deal elemental damage. In [[Destiny]], only a handful of primary weapons deal elemental damage, and most of those weapons are typically acquired in [[Raid]]s.

The damage type on most weapons is random, though some weapons such as [[Exotic]]s or [[Legendary]] Raid weapons have a set damage type.
==Guardians==
 
[[Guardian]] [[subclass]]es typically focus on one type of elemental damage. This extends to melee attacks, grenades, and [[super]]s.
In [[Destiny 2]], all Energy slot weapons do Arc, Solar or Void damage, Kinetic slot weapons do Kinetic, Stasis, or Strand damage and Power weapons do all damage types except Kinetic. The perk Osmosis on a kinetic weapon turns weapon damage into the same as your subclass when a grenade is used, until the weapon is swapped.

(†)[[Murmur]] is capable of switching between Arc and Solar damage whereas [[Hard Light]], [[Borealis]], [[Ergo Sum]], and [[Dead Messenger]] can switch between Arc, Solar, and Void, and [[Conditional Finality]] can do Stasis and Solar damage.
 
(‡)[[Two-Tailed Fox]] fires a Solar rocket and a Void rocket, but its in-game element is Void; it also fires an Arc rocket if the catalyst is inserted.
 
(*)[[Tessellation]]'s in-game element is Kinetic, but the damage type can change depending on the element matching your currently equipped grenade.
 
==Subclass elements in Destiny==
Each [[Guardian]] [[subclass]] focuses on one type of elemental damage. This extends to melee attacks, grenades, and [[Super]]s.

==Enemies==
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.
 
Most [[Taken]] versions of weapons will do a different type of elemental damage than the original, and the [[Devil Splicers]]' common ranged weapons inflict Solar damage, while their melee weapons are still Arc. Some powerful enemies may have unique weapons that do different damage than their common versions.

==Trivia==
*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).
**This is backed up by Ikora's and Drifter's notes on the elements, Ikora states we do not know what came first, the Light or the Elements, but they are fundamentally linked like Twins<ref>[https://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/primordial-competitor?highlight=elements Primordial Competitor]</ref>, and Drifter states the Pyramid's energies are getting the Elements all twisted up<ref>[https://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/refining-the-recaster?highlight=elements Refining the Recaster]</ref>
*Osiris states that the Elements are a means to communicate with the Light, but recently, now with the Darkness.<ref>[https://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/elemental-competitor?highlight=elements Elemental Competitor]</ref>
*There are several types of planetary materials that responds to the Elements, Relic Crystals inside Relic Iron for Void on [[Mars]], Zeptocyte Cores inside Spinmetal Leaves for Arc in the [[Cosmodrome]], and Soliton Flares inside Helium Filaments for Solar on the [[Moon]].<ref>[https://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/withstand-the-elements?highlight=elements Withstand the Elements]</ref><ref>[https://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/essential-elements?highlight=elements Essential Elements (Void)]</ref><ref>[https://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/essential-elements-2?highlight=elements Essential Elements (Arc)]</ref><ref>[https://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/essential-elements-3?highlight=elements Essential Elements (Solar)]</ref>
