The Abyssal Deadspace resist penalties apply to ''both'' the player ship ''and'' to the NPCs present. Thanks to the mechanics of [[Tanking# | The Abyssal Deadspace resist penalties apply to ''both'' the player ship ''and'' to the NPCs present. Thanks to the mechanics of [[Tanking#Negative_resistances|resist penalties]], this means that damage-matching to the penalized resist will effectively earn a damage bonus equal to the resist penalty (smaller damage increase if the target has too low a base resist). So, in general, you should select your damage to match the weather. | ||
However, in some cases, the natural resist hole of the NPC is equal to or greater than the resist hole caused by the weather. This is the case in Dark filaments, which have no resist penalty. | However, in some cases, the natural resist hole of the NPC is equal to or greater than the resist hole caused by the weather.
