'''Damage Resistance''' refers to the [[Weapon Damage|Bullet]], [[Melee Attack|Melee]], and [[Spirit Power|Spirit]] Resist statistics which reduce incoming damage taken. Bullet Resist reduces all weapon and melee damage, Melee Resist reduces only melee damage, while Spirit Resist reduces all spirit damage. [[Unit]]s have a unique "Damage Resistance" stat that is applied to all sources of damage, including [[Trooper]]s.
{{Stub}}


Most resistances stack multiplicatively; they are not added together. Sources of Resistance Reduction are multiplied together separately first. The total reduction is then subtracted from the total resistance. This has the consequence of resistance reduction being more effective on targets with higher resistance.
Damage Resistance refers to the Bullet and Spirit Resist statistics which reduce incoming damage taken.

== Resistance types ==
Bullet Resist reduces all weapon (such as bullets/melee) damage, while Spirit Resist reduces all spirit damage.
=== Bullet Resist ===
Bullet Resist reduces all incoming [[Weapon Damage]], including from abilities. [[Troopers]], [[Guardians]], [[Neutrals]] and the [[Mid-Boss]] deal weapon damage.


List of abilities that deal weapon damage:
Resistances from [[Level|Power Increase]]s seems to act strangely and requires more research.
{{AbilityTable|weapondamage}}


=== Spirit Resist ===
== Stacking Resistances ==
Spirit Resist reduces all incoming [[Spirit Damage]]. Most abilities and items deal spirit damage, as well as [[Walkers]], [[Shrines]], and the [[Patron]].
Resistances from multiple sources are multiplicative with each other.


=== Melee Resist ===
<math>\mathit{Displayed Resist} = 1 - (1 - \mathit{Resistance 1}) * (1 - \mathit{Resistance 2}) * ... * (1 - \mathit{Resistance N})</math>


Melee Resist reduces all incoming [[Melee Damage]], including from abilities.
For example, multiple sources of Bullet Resist


In addition to Melee Resist gained from items, Bullet Resist affects all Weapon Damage, granting another source of resistance against Melee Damage. The only exception is {{HeroIcon|Venator}}'s innate Spirit-scaled Bullet Resist, although this is likely a bug.
* 60% Bullet Resist from Viscous' [[Viscous#(4)_Goo_Ball|Goo Ball]]
* 40% Bullet Resist from the [[Colossus]] [[Items|Item]] results in:


List of abilities that deal melee damage:
<math>1 - (1 - 0.6) * (1 - 0.4) = 76% Bullet Resist</math>
{{AbilityTable|Melee|hide=Light Melee Scaling,Notes}}


=== Crit Reduction ===
==Resistance Reduction==
Crit Reduction is a stat that reduces the critical damage (headshots) received by the hero. Not to be confused with [[Weapon Damage#Crit Multiplier|Crit Bonus Scale]], a stat that reduces the critical damage dealt by the hero to other targets.
Resistance Reduction refers to any negative amount of Resist, making the target take increased damage.


Crit Reduction is an innate stat to balance heroes with large head hitboxes, and cannot be modified by items or abilities.
Resistance Reduction is calculated multiplicatively like resistance, but then simply subtracted from the resistance amount.


== Starting Damage Resistance ==
<math>\mathit{Displayed Resist} = [1 - (1 - \mathit{Resistance 1}) * (1 - \mathit{Resistance 2}) * ... * (1 - \mathit{Resistance N})] - [1 - (1 - \mathit{ResReduct.1}) * (1 - \mathit{ResReduct.2})* ... * (1 - \mathit{ResReduct.N})]</math>
The following [[Hero|Heroes]] either have starting Damage Resistance values or gain resistance with [[Boon|Boons]] or [[Spirit Power]]. Boon and Spirit scaling resistances stack additively.


Note: Negative values indicate that the hero receives increased damage.
For example, using Bullet Resists and Reductions:


{{#invoke:HeroDataArrays|heroDamageResistTable}}
* 70% Spirit Resist from Viscous' [[Viscous#(4) Goo Ball|Goo Ball]]
* 20% Spirit Resist from [[Spirit Armor]]
* -12% Spirit Resist from [[Spirit Strike]]
* -12% Spirit Resist from [[Spirit Strike|Mystic Vulnerability]]
* -24% Spirit Resist from [[Crippling Headshot]]


== Calculation ==
<math>[1 - (1 - 0.7) * (1 - 0.2)] -[1 - (1-0.12)*(1-0.12)*(1-0.24)] =  \mathit 35% Spirit Resist</math>
While items often display resistance as a flat percentage (e.g., +20% Resist), multiple sources of resistance do not simply add together. Instead, they stack '''multiplicatively'''.


=== Calculating Resistance ===
To find your total resistance, use the following formula:


<math>\text{Total Resist} = 1 - (1 - R_1) \times (1 - R_2) \dots</math>
==Notes==
Resistances can go negative, and this multiplies the damage taken of that type.


'''Example:'''
30% resist= 70% of the damage the weapon or ability.
If you have two sources of resistance, one providing '''40%''' and another providing '''20%''':
# Convert percentages to decimals: 0.40 and 0.20.
# Subtract from 1: (1 - 0.40) = '''0.60''' and (1 - 0.20) = '''0.80'''.
# Multiply the remainders: 0.60 × 0.80 = '''0.48'''.
# Subtract from 1: 1 - 0.48 = '''0.52'''.
# Your Total Resist is '''52%'''.


=== Calculating Resistance Reduction ===
0% resist = 100% of the damage the weapon or ability.
'''Resistance Reduction''' (often called "shred") acts as a counter to resistance. It is calculated separately using the same multiplicative formula, and then subtracted from the target's resistance.


<math>\text{Final Resist} = \text{Total Resistance} - \text{Total Reduction}</math>
-30% resist = 130% of the damage your weapon or ability.


'''Example:'''
Items like [[Headshot Booster]] grant a flat added bullet damage, this bonus damage is not multiplied by weapon damage but is subject to resistance reduction/increase in damage.
A target has '''52%''' Total Resistance (as calculated above). You attack them with two sources of Reduction: one providing '''25%''' and another providing '''20%'''.


'''Step 1: Calculate Total Reduction'''
==Graphs==
<math>1 - (1 - 0.25) \times (1 - 0.20) = 0.40 \rightarrow \mathbf{40\%}</math>
 
'''Step 2: Subtract Reduction from Resistance'''
<math>52\% - 40\% = \mathbf{12\%}</math>
 
The target has a final effective Resist of only '''12%'''.
 
=== Negative Resistance ===
If the Total Reduction is higher than the Total Resistance, the final value will be negative. This acts as a damage amplifier.
 
* '''30% Resist:''' You take '''70%''' of incoming damage.
* '''0% Resist:''' You take '''100%''' of incoming damage (True Damage).
* '''-30% Resist:''' You take '''130%''' of incoming damage.
