Understanding corrosive stacks

[psnjungle]

If i have a weapon that has a status chance of 200%+, modded for purely corrosion, with one swing of the weapon, how many stacks of corrosive status effects should appear? Because im seeing 8 with one swing, and another either brings it to 13 or the full 14 (with 2 emerald shards on)

Is this by design, are multiple hits mandatory to apply the full status effect the FIRST time? Or do i need 300% status?

Some targets have immunity to status ingrained into their own armour capabillities to certain extent, as for instance I recall that Stalker's Acolytes[warframe.fandom.com] had an internal resilience to it and some other foes also do present that into their armours, such as Eximus units and Archons to merely name a few (without pushing the etc. etc. mambo jambo that Digital Extremes seems to enjoy placing in the game as an "having fun while playing" deterrent element).

Edit add note: And to be bluntly frank, that's the sort of quite some extensive required previous power creeping that we're required to do that lalteluy has been making lean elsewhere just to have fun while playing.

It's like this
if you have a weapon with
-ONLY corrosion damage
-200% Status
-5 Multishot
then that would be 200% = 2 Stacks x 5 (Multishot) = 10stacks consistently

Weapons with different damage Types
-Impact, Slash, Puncture, Corrosive
-200% Status
-5 Multishot
then that would be 200% = 2 stacks x 5 (Multishot) = 10 Chances of picking one of the four damage types (Higher Damage Value = More Chance of getting picked)

Do you have more calculations for melee weapons? Particularly interested in melee duplicate. I dont really use primary weps/secondaries.

What melee and combo stance? Some combos force status effects. Looking at Combos in Arsenal while stance is installed shows what effects they have.

Excals chomatic blade modded for pure corrosive. 364 ability Strength, but im heading to bed now, its like 4am here. I think i figured it out since time of posting though. Still not quite sure but i think the armor stripping icon is different from the corrosive status effect. one dude on reddit said id have to have 800 status on the wep to deal 8 stacks with one swing. But also saw in a video that it was possible to completely strip armor this way as well, they didnt mention how many status effects were needed. But yeah, think i got it now. stuff dropping like flies.

200% should give 2 corrosive stack. However Exalted Blade hits twice per swing, once with sword and once with the projectile, so that would be 4. If you are using Melee Duplicate, then it should make every yellow crit hit twice, so double again for 8. Does that fit your situation?

EDIT: Well, I just checked and you can't put Melee Duplicate on Exalted Blade, so I don't know where that last doubling is coming from.

Is that new? I've looked and never seen that. Always stared intently in training room, can't remember the name, to learn what a stance did.

I could have sworn somewhere i heard that exsalted weapons themselves trigger arcanes. Even if they cant equip them. So by having dup on my regular melee, i think it does proc on exalted blade whenever it crits but could be wrong on that.

as far as the "are you also hitting them melee range?" tbh im not sure. I dont intend to but sometimes trash pops up and throws itself on the blade in melee range. the whole thing is chaotic, but i really just focus on the wave dmg. it appeared as one wave put 8 (corrosive icon little hat icons?) on targets. im starting to think i just read it wrong or something. but using another frame right now that has my 2 emeralds, i'll check it again later.
