[RPG] What are the most and least-resisted damage types

damage-resistancedamage-typesdnd-5e

Inspired by these related questions, as well as my previous question on the matter, I'm curious what the most and least resisted damage types are in DnD 5e? Ideally I am looking for a list similar to the one found in this answer to the first linked question above, but in 5e instead of 3.5.

Which damage types are the most resisted, and which are the least resisted in DnD 5e?

For simplicity's sake, I would limit this to monsters from official WotC sources, and would classify immunity as a form of resistance (though if an answer chooses to distinguish between resistance and immunity that would be fine).

While I initially only had magical damage types in mind (Acid, Fire, Cold, Poison, Necrotic, Radiant, Lightning, Psychic, Thunder and Force), bonus points if an answer also addresses physical damage types (Slashing, Piercing, and Bludgeoning).

Best Answer

Unsurprisingly Poison and Force, respectively

Here is a nice summary of Monster Manual.

I shall transfer the relevant parts of the chart here in case of link rot:

Resistance Immunity Vulnerability
Acid 18 15 0
Cold 46 20 4
Fire 37 40 9
Force 0 1 0
Lightning 35 10 0
Necrotic 11 11 0
Poison 5 95 0
Psychic 1 10 1
Radiant 4 0 2
Thunder 14 2 1
Nonmagical 60 17 0
Magic Weapons 1 0 0
Bludgeoning 8 0 4
Slashing 6 2 0
Piercing 10 0 0
Spells 1 0 0

Technically, the most resisted is not Poison, but Cold. However, this question is mostly helpful for casters to pick up spells.
So the damage type you should avoid most is Poison.
