there has been some confusion in how slash works in warframe, which is understandable. however its quite simple once you think of it like this.
if a weapon has slash damage, it can do that damage type to enemies. if the enemies have armour, the armour will reduce the damage. however if you do a slash procc, which happens whenever a status effect incurs slash damage, it will not care about armour or shields at all.you can increase slash damage via physical damage mods, however you can only increase slash procs via base damage modifiers, ex hornet strike, pressure point, point blank, or serration.
you may also increase slash procs with critical hits, and critical damage mods, as that effectivley increases base damage.
