Status Procs: Impact: Knock Back Puncture: Reduced Damage by 30% Slash: Bleeds enemy health. Heat: Applies DoT and puts the enemy into a frenzy. Cold: Reduced Movement Speed, Weapon Handling, and Rate of Fire. Electric: Stuns and Shreds Shields. Toxin: DoT on Health. Viral (Toxin+Cold): Halves Health. Radiation (Heat+Electric): Afflicted Enemy targets everyone. Corrosive (Toxin+Electric): Reduces enemy armor. Blast (Heat+Cold): Knockdown. Gas (Toxin+Heat): Release a cloud that deals toxin damage. Magnetic (Cold+Electric): Drains Shields completely and negates power usage. Status works differently on shotguns. The way it works on shotguns is Status Chance ÷ Pellet Count. However if you get 100% Status Chance, every pellet will proc status. Status Procs are determined by a weighted RNG system. The system when determining which status will proc will randomly pick one of the types of damage on the weapon. It favors the type with the most damage. Hope this helps.

Ash is a stealth frame. Good for spy missions. My suggestion is to rank him up to max level (30) because that is where all frames reach their peak. To start, ash is mainly known for two of four abities: blade storm and smoke screen. Smoke screen is going invisible and blade storm Is a toggle ability where ash teleports to enemies around you and executes them. To upgrade the duration and damage of blade storm, use duration and strength mods to enhance them. Smoke screen is effective with getting past enemies you don't want to deal with. Use duration mods to extend how long you want to go undetected.

Along with that, use the elements to your advantage. If you have mods for electricity or radiation, you may place two different mods side by side and create a new element that may be effective towards grineer or corpus. For instance, if you have an electricity mid and place that next to a cold mod, it should create magnetic, which is great for corpus due to their shields.
