it'll be interesting to see how the Slime mechanics even work - i imagine the value isn't the actual damage of the explosion (i've seen weapons that deal 400 slime damage which is what, 2 large barrel bombs? quite a bit of damage) but since it DOES have a numerical value i'd imagine Status Up has to affect it, and yes Bombardier gives a 1.2x boost
