Anyone be willing to explain how the blue, purple and orange damage types work?

I have looked around the internet trying to find something related to this and i have found a few youtube videos but they don't really explain it very well, As far as i know they are only found on Special and heavy weapons and they only do extra damage to some enemies, but that's about all i could figure out. So if anyone is willing to explain it as best they know i would appreciate it. Sorry if this is a noob question, i kind of jumped on the destiny bandwagon a little late. P.S: Sorry if this is the wrong forum category

  • Enemies that have over shields, have a damage type associated with the shield. For example hive wizards have Orange shields and Fallen captains have Blue shields. These shields are weak to the same damage color. So a fallen captains Blue Shield, takes an extraordinary amount of damage from your gun that does blue damage (arc damage). From what I've experienced, this damage boost only applies to the shield, not their actual health bar. As mentioned by previous poster, there are certain strikes/missions that have a damage boost. Usually associated with the nightfall strike. Any any source that deals this damage, is tripled. This also includes enemy attacks of that element!
