Adhesive Bombs can be used against any enemy type. We do, however, recommend using them on enemies that are bulkier or more agile. This will allow you to safely position yourself for more precise critical shots.

Scan for Enemy Components

Some enemy machines will have explosive components that use Adhesive Damage, and knowing which enemies are weak against which elements is the key to survival. Whenever you approach a new enemy, be sure to scan them before engaging in combat. This will give you the info you need to put yourself at an advantage.
