Salty fresh and spicy damage.

[Xander]

What does any of this mean? I get some of them do more damage to some bugs than other, but what bugs get damaged by certain types? The wiki has nothing on it about it.

Spicy is good against spiders, ants, larvae and roly polys, fresh is good against ladybugs, stinkbugs, bombardier beetles, mosquitoes and bees, salty is good against antlions and fireflies (though absolute overkill on the latter, pretty sure they're also weak to piercing).

The other resistances take a little longer and i don't have them all yet but spiders (orb and wolf) are also weak against cutting (a spicy antlion greatsword kills a wolf in 3 hits).
Ladybugs are weak against crushing (hammers only, clubs are generic damage).

And pretty much any "big" bug (anything bigger than a soldier ant except for bombardier beetles) that doesn't fly is now resistant against piercing damage afaict (which makes killing spiders at range a PITA unless you have spicy arrows, my lvl 7 crossbow felt like a pre-H&H sprig bow). It's definitely a bad time for mosquito needle lovers.

Do you know if the damage stay the same vs infected or does it change anything?

Infected ladybugs die easily enough with the mint mace so i assume they're vulnerable to fresh as well, but i've only killed two or three i think. Needs more testing to be sure.

No idea about infected weevils or mites, the crossbow oneshots them with any arrow and i was too lazy to get weaker bow.
Infected larva i also haven't checked yet, i know they're weak to cutting though (i ran out of arrows).

You can figure all of that out as you go though, it's really obvious when a bug is weak or resistant to something just from looking at the health bar. Those damage differences are not small.

So when i apply spicy and go on spide my sword will do like 200% dmg. But when i go with that sword on ladybug will the damage be 100% or reducted below 100%?
