Hi everyone, quite some time ago I made a printable cheat sheet for the damage types of the major NPC factions you can encounter. I've updated it again and thought I'd share.

Features:

  • NPC Damage Types
  • NPC Weaknesses (primary & secondary)
  • Drones to use (primary & secondary)
  • Countermeasures for electronic warfare
  • Alternate compact versions
  • Easy printing with PDF format


It exists in three variants:

  • "Regular", with all information
  • "Compact", without the drones block
  • "Pure", without drones or countermeasures


You can download it from its official site:

Thanks for reading!

Thanks! Replacing my old printout right now :)

The secondary damage is nice, didn't think there would be that much thermal.

If there's ever any confusion, the damage types in my bio are spot on.

Heh, that's flattering! I didn't see any myself so far :| If you see some who use an older link, I would definitely appreciate if you can give out the new link. I made the dedicated site especially to have one official download location to keep track of changes.

He's not talking about your chart, specifically. He's talking about all those guys who have the NPC damage types listed in their bio. Which is about, well,... about half the people whos bio i have glanced at.

Aye, thanks for hitting me over the head with the obvious - I need a fix of coffee. NOW.

it is indeed in people's bios... I stole it from my hubby for my missioner too, but still kudos for the DL - I like stuff in writing myself.

Aren't you supposed to shoot Thermal at Mordus? Too lazy to test it but always thought that was the case.

Nice.

Any chance of including the other mission NPC type's such as the Empire Factions, Concord, etc?

Also this thread would get a much better reception in the sub-forum 'Missions & Complexes'.

8 years and I always assumed Serps were weak to thermal. Go figure.

Question though, did you account for the fact that thermal drones do more damage, especially in the case of sansha and blood.

Because the Legacy Code has too much Psssssssssssssssh, nothing will ever get fixed until CCP stop wasting money on failed sparkle MMOs and instead rewrite the entire backend of EvE from scratch.

I was a bit surprised as well, but kinetic is better only for a small margin (around 2% in my tests), so you can actually shoot either with the same success. As the distribution is not the same for all ship classes (cruiser / battleship), some will go down more easily either with kinetic or em, but the overall average is more in favor of kinetic.

With the drone revamp they did lately, gallente drones are not the "one drone to rule them all" kind of deal anymore, so I decided it would be better in the sheet to show the intended drones for the primary weakness. Of course gallente drones are still a good option, since many NPCs have their secondary weakness to thermal - it's up to you to decide if you want to be lazy or micromanage a bit more. Personally I found that carrying a wider selection of drones can be quite fun :)

The sheet is primarily targeted at mission runners, which is why I left those out. I would consider making a PvP sheet though, which lists the factions / entities you can come up against. My only problem for that would be that I don't PvP myself, so I am not familiar with the kind of information that would be useful in a cheat sheet. Maybe you could give me some pointers?

Nevermind, I thought it was damage types to deal, not to tank against.
