I'm putting up preliminary cut/stab/pene as dmg types based on soc mate getting 1-14 hits against young in nemesis+5B

 

Damage test

In Goblin+6a, a Young did 25.7 damage.
Goblin decayed 0.822 which is 12 absorbed, so this corresponds to Impact and no Acid.
6a decayed 0.738 which is 11 absorbed, so that's Penetration no Burn.
Total hit was 48.7, so minimum 24.6% Impact, 22.6% Penetration.

In unplated Gremlin a Young did 28.2 damage.
Decay 1.922 = 24 absorbed, so that looks like Impact+Cut, no Cold, Stab, Electric. That would mean types are Impact/Cut/Penetration.

In unplated eMine an Old Alpha, 63.2 damage.
Decay 5.176 = 50 absorbed, which verifies Impact/Cut/Penetration.

In unplated Goblin a Young did 30.1 damage.
Decay 0.822 = 12 protection so a 42.1 total hit.
So Impact is minimum 28.5%.

I also got a 57.8 hit with 12 absorbed, which is a total hit of 69.8, which means the maximum damage for Young on Entropedia is wrong. EDIT: Change this to 70 now, still unconfirmed.

I don’t have any suitable armour with me for narrowing this down further. I'll enter 33%/33%/33% in Entropedia for now as an estimate.

 

I noticed someone had changed the Entropedia info so did another quick test on these and it does indeed look like the damage types have changed, presumably with the mob change VU last December.

6a don't decay any more so there is no Penetration. Gremlin decayed 3.164 which is 35 absorbed (plus 34.8 received from Prowler), suggesting Impact/Cut/Stab. There aren't really any other options from those numbers so I'm pretty sure that's correct, but without much indication of the proportions.

Just to be sure I also checked 6a against the small ones and a Mature didn't decay them.

 

Has anyone got max damage for the various maturities? Not seeing anything in Entropedia.

 

Damage and pene was removed by me, because was incorrect
Stalker ~ 50-100 dmg range (~100 max).
In damage types only impact/cut/stab, no pene, because 6A plates attached to armor has no decay
