Resistance is a measure of a character's ability to defend themselves against the application of a status effect via Accumulation. Having a higher resistance increases the character's survivability, and is important when facing enemies that deal damage of a particular type.
Overview[]
Resistance is measured as a percentage, which reduces the accumulation of a damage type by that amount per hit, which in turn increases the threshold at which the accumulated damage results in a status. For example, a character with 20% Resistance to Frost Accumulation will require 20% more Frost damage to be dealt to them before being affected by the Accumulation.
Building up a resistance to a particular status can provide a strategic advantage in combat against frequently encountered effects. You can do so by equipping certain armor, accessories, clothing, and shields, using consumables, or casting abilities. Additionally, the character's Constitution attribute provides Poison and Bleed Resistance per point, while Intellect provides Elemental Resistance (Fire, Frost, Shock) per point.
Characters may have negative resistance, which increases the amount of Accumulation they receive, although this is generally expressed in-game as "take +X% more Accumulation".
