Chaos damage
Chaos Damage is one of the 5 Damage Types. It is the rarest damage type and the hardest to get Resistance against. Chaos damage ignores energy shield, reducing life directly. One can become immune to Chaos Damage with the Chaos Inoculation Keystone Passive.
One source of chaos damage is the Poison status ailment.
