In RPGs, it's common for players to come across enemies who appear invincible to some weapon types and vulnerable to others. Thus, stacking up a vast arsenal is essential for making it to the endgame of such titles in one piece. Valheim is no exception to this mechanism, with Iron Gate Studios giving its players a multitude of methods to put a chink in the armor of enemies in different biomes. Combat in the popular sandbox title can be separated into categories of physical and elemental damage, and each type has areas and bosses where deploying them is most useful, as well as opponents that are practically immune to their attacks. As such, not all damage types are equal in Valheim, and some are superior to others.
