Legobear described how it works with Fire attacks that have a Fire DoT status effect. For attacks that do Fire damage and have a Poison DoT instead, like the sandworm spit in question, the Poison DoT status effect will still take effect. However, the fire resistance will be applied a second time to the DoT damage, meaning that it will be tiny in comparison.

For an idea of what I'm talking about, let a Salamander or Dragon get hit by sandworm spit or any Chem Tank attack. The same would apply here, the only difference is that attacks with Fire DoT (like a Salamander or Dragon's main attacks) can't apply their status effects to the Elemental Trooper.
